The parody in question is "Walk With An Erection" by the Swinging Erudites, who are (I think) a local Boston band. WBCN has been plugging the song, although I think those wonderful "new" FCC rules are going to prevent them from doing so in future. Just remember what Uncle Bonsai says: "Body parts are right out. From now on, you can't sing 'I love your eyes' or whatever..." --Jon Drukman "I've been waiting for tomorrow (all of my life)"
