I didn't even know EYKIW was a style parody of TMBG until recently...do you remember where you heard this or what they said? I'm very surprised to hear that...

I wish I could find a source on this, but I remember reading somewhere that they didn't want to be pigeon-holed as only making that type of music. I also remember reading that Al had approached TMBG about doing a tour together which they were less than enthused about.

I think that this is a really cool idea and it does seem like t=something Vh1 would do but the only problem is that the original artists probably wouldnt want to do that, maybe a few but most i'm guessing no.

I just came up with an idea, it would be kinda like a roast

Hehe, sounds like a good idea! Didn't The Presidents of the United States and Don McLean perform their parodies live?

Really? Wow! That's pretty surprising. If they didn't want to be pigeon-holed, then why did they make that "kind" of music for so many years before EYKIW? :lol:

Anyway, if you find the source of that information, I'd be really interested to read it.
