l"THE BALLAD OF WOODY & MIA" -VIDEO parody by Loose Bruce Kerr
re Woody Allen & Mia Farrow.
This is a new video of Bruce's 1992 parody song which parallels the
media saturation regarding Woody Allen's breakup with Mia Farrow
and his affair with her adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn.
Woody & Soon-Yi are still together but at the time the story broke,
the nation was divided between those who saw the relationship of 60
year old Allen and 25 year old Previn as true love conquering all
and those who saw it as improper, even immoral.
The parody song was played many times in '92 & '93 on the Dr.
Demento and Jim Bohannon radio shows, and was featured on a
"basement tapes" edition of Dr. Demento's.
The background parts were recorded by Bruce one-at-a-time and mixed
down from his 4-track cassette deck, including multiple overdubs of
Bruce playing "vocal trumpets." This video has Bruce singing live
and playing his Les Paul electric guitar over his old background
tracks.
A year after first recording this parody song, Bruce resumed his
career as a lawyer which he had put on hold for 20 years to record
and perform music. He continues to record audios and videos of his
parodies and originals while holding down his day job as a lawyer
for Sun Microsystems in Northern California's Silicon Valley.
