    That's not a parody. It's just a version of "I Am The Walrus."

    It is pretty straight. However, I detect some fun being had at the song's expense, what with the addition of high-pitched wails during the "I'm cryiing" part and Ike Willis' cuddling with the toy walrus.

    It's not a parody. To be a parody they at least have to change the lyrics. Or do the song in a completely different and outrageous style, like this:
