Parodyman.com - Song Parodies by Rex Ungericht

You ask so many questions, what answers should I choose?*

Welcome to the Frequently Asked Questions page! Like many FAQ's on the internet, this one includes a couple of questions I was actually asked and several I made up. Maybe "NAQ" (Never Asked Questions) would be a better title for this page. Maybe if you folks would stop watching Survivorman and send in questions I wouldn't have to make them up. You ever think about that? Huh? Huh?

Sorry. Got carried away there for a moment. If you have a question, send it to Rex@innersites.com and it might appear on this page. Or I might ignore it because I'm watching Survivorman.


Can I perform your parodies?

Please do! And send me a recording if you would be so kind. Let me know if I can post it on this website.

Can I perform your parodies for money?

Ohhh, now it gets tricky. If you are performing for pay and using my parodies in your act, I don't have an issue with it as long as you're telling your audience you got the parodies from parodyman.com. Unless you're making a bunch of money. Then I would expect that you compensate the poor parody writer for his contribution to your wealth.

Can I sell copies of your parodies for money?

If it's copies of you performing the parodies, then the answer is the same as above. If you want to resell copies of the parodies from the parodyman.com website and/or the BKSG CDs, then no.

Can I play your parodies on my show?

Yes, please do, as often as you want. Please credit the performer. And if you would be so kind, a mention of parodyman.com is always appreciated.

Do you make a lot of money writing parodies?

Not yet, but if you want to produce and promote an album of my work and make both of us famous and rich, I would not be opposed. You can also make a donation by clicking on the Donate button below. All donations go toward the expenses of this website. Or beer. Sweet, sweet beer.

How the &*^% do you pronounce your name?

Really, how hard is it to pronounce Rex? Oh, you mean Ungericht. Although my last name is of German origin, I was born in Ohio like my father before me. We use an Americanized pronunciation: "Unger-rite". Although I'm thinking of having my name legally changed to Parodyman.

Why don't all of your parodies have recordings?

I am not a musician. I am not a singer. So I'm constantly stalking people who can sing and play instruments. As a result, I have recordings of over 70 parodies. And a lovely collection of restraining orders that I keep framed on the wall.
