Starting to look back on the first quarter century on our YouTube parody timeline (from our theater-oriented viewpoint)

 Starting to look back on the first quarter century on our YouTube parody timeline, gearing up for my upcoming parody lyric book 

21st Century Oldies, The First Quarter Century: What a One-Percent World! - 21st century events sung to the oldies

These were some "long form" (7 to 10 minutes) parody snapshot mini-movies we did on what we (from our theater-oriented viewpoint) saw as major socially resonant events 2001-2025:  the first time even Sondheim went premium (in 2009-2010), the 2020 Quarantine, the 2008 economic crisis.


A LITTLE SITE MUSIC, or EVERY DAY A LITTLE NET - 10-minute mini-movie, the first time Sondheim went premium, as the ladies of A Little Night Music (Charlotte, Anne, Madame Armfeldt, Desiree, Petra and Fredricka) dealt with premium tickets to the starry 2009 revival of their show

WHEN I'M STUCK AT HOME, the 2020 Quarantine Through the Eyes of a Performer - 7-minute mini-movie, as a performer deals with theater closings by making masks (Make 'Em Masks) and then imagining socially distant roles in parodies of Rose in Gypsy (Together Wherever We Go), Joanne in Company (The Little Things You Do Together), Bianca/Lois Lane in Kiss Me Kate (Always True to You In My Fashion) and staying at "Home" with Dorothy and Toto in The Wiz

THE LEHMAN EULOGY, AN AIG BAILOUT PARODY MEDLEY (2008 economic crisis) - 8-minute parody-jukebox musical mini-movie, through parodies of Helen Reddy classics Delta Dawn, I Am Woman, Angie Baby, You and Me Against the World, Ain't No Way to Treat a Lady
