While I enjoy the educational value of Rob's work and his enthusiasm for learning & pop-culture, a list of songs (and preferably the parodied lines or stanzas) that the parody was based on would go a long way toward making this a relevant parody and toward making the 5s look & work better. Sorry if I offended you, Rob (no intent to), just my 2 cents.
