Ground Round

https://www.newsfromme.com/2023/02/13/todays-video-link-3844/ 

Like so many of my contemporaries, I was a huge fan of MAD magazine while growing up.  One of my favorite parts of the mag was their song parodies; and my favorite one of those was Ground Round.  I loved it then and now.  

The article above talks about the writers and their parodies.  I'm happy to see that I'm not along in my choice for favorites.
