Today's idiocy: Trying to Reason with Monotreme Season (One Song to the Tune of Another)

Today's burst of idiocy:
Singing the words of the Perry the Platypus theme to a couple Jimmy Buffett riffs.
The verse lyric kind of fits the "Fins" verse melody.
"He's Perry the Platypus" fits the first measure of "Cheeseburger in Paradise"'s chorus.

New discovery in One Song to the Tune of Another research:

Thanks to the David Byrne vocal goofing in Drawing Characters From Memory With Barrett - YouTube , I have now realized that

"Rainbow Connection" written by Paul Williams, sung by Jim Henson
can swap lyrics and tune with
"Life During Wartime"written and performed by Talking Heads

Married Conversations: One Concern to the Tune of Another

(Frage sits in the recliner in the living room, watching HGTV.)
(UIM, just-showered and half-dressed, strides out with determination, picks up the letter-size notepad, grabs a pen, starts scribbling and mumbling.)
(After a minute of this...)
Frage: "Should I be worried that you're mumbling 'cut you down and destroy'?"
UIM: "It's 'one song to the tune of another'.  I realized you can sing the verses of Johnny Cash's 'God's Gonna Cut You Down' and Metallica's 'Seek and Destroy' to each other's tunes."
Frage: "Ah."
UIM: "But I understand you worry when your pants-less husband mumbles like that.  You concerns are valid."
