Just like fine 'vine' you all get better with age.

Great work , as always Mer & Pip.

You know kudzu?? Around here, it covers whole trees and houses...anything it can get it's leaf on. Really good parody.

'Round my door, the leaves are crawlin'... anybody who does a J.R. song doesn't have to worry too much about me getting snippy about it.

Thanks everyone! Pat, I've never actuallu seen kudzu, but I know it's reputation...

What the hell is a Kudzu vine? Can I smoke it? Doesn't matter in either case - very funny, nice job.

Ha! I told Merry not everyone would know what Kudzu was! Nyah nyah Merry!

'The Day Of The Triffids' comes to mind......eeek ! Love it !

Awesome! Keep the Johnny Cash parodies coming guys!

ROBERT, Kudzu-Puraria lobata- A wild vine that can be likened to the Blob (of B Movie fame) Once it hits, it keeps growing, and growing into perpitutiy , it's virtualy unstoppable. Much like the success of Merry & Pippin Themselves. Kudzu and kudo's for a very creative & successful parody.

So it's a plant-like Steve McQueen.

Hey guys....... Excellent ! Too clever !

Entwined swine, indeed. Excellent parody. Congrats for getting published!!! I think you should get royalties from the book sales; but, if not, maybe the recognition will lead to other members of the literati discovering and exploiting you.

Replacing vote.

Ha! Lovely rhymes and an original concept. Indeed, hopefully you will have set a precedence of books using song parodies as a standard form of introduction! 555

I'm happy you got this published--just goes to show, if you wanna write, and it makes you happy, then do it.

When I was little riding with my grandparents trhough southern Alabama part of journey was looking at the kudzu and being amazed at how beautiful I thought they were, and how interesting. Sometimes I imagained they were giant green dinasors( sp) and then other times they took on shapes of other living c reatures. I think they are fascinating. And its weird. In the winter here in Georgia where I live now, they disappear sorta. Their vines look dead and grey and they are non existent because the eye is not attracted to it. When warm weather comes and the leaves of the kudzu come back it is just another indication that summer is on its way. It's a sorry s.o.b. but its here for the ride, it's all over the countryside. Also, Johnny Cash was one helluva guy. He made, played and sang some of the best music in the world. Voices don't get any deeper than Cash's.

pretty damn gay but u iz right cuz its eaten ATL fo sho

This song was perfect! I want to plant kudzu in the Cincinnati area to eat some people and places I know! giggle
