The Lyrics
If you're going to ban canned Crisco
Be sure to wear Canola flowers in your hair
If you're going to ban canned Crisco
Cholesterol won't lead you to despair
All those who come to ban canned Crisco
Summertime will be a lard-in there
In the streets they've banned canned Crisco
Shortening won't be long once you do compare
All across the nation
Healthy lubrication
Keep hearts in motion
Here's a recommendation
Monounsaturation
We like canola
Make mine Mazola
All those who come to ban canned Crisco
Be sure that oil is used in your cookware
And once you've gone and banned canned Crisco
Dropping fatty acids will be the turn-on there
Be sure to wear Canola flowers in your hair
If you're going to ban canned Crisco
Cholesterol won't lead you to despair
All those who come to ban canned Crisco
Summertime will be a lard-in there
In the streets they've banned canned Crisco
Shortening won't be long once you do compare
All across the nation
Healthy lubrication
Keep hearts in motion
Here's a recommendation
Monounsaturation
We like canola
Make mine Mazola
All those who come to ban canned Crisco
Be sure that oil is used in your cookware
And once you've gone and banned canned Crisco
Dropping fatty acids will be the turn-on there

Procter and Gamble sold off Crisco to another company, so they no longer manufacture it . BTW, interesting juxtaposition of San Francisco and Crisco, especially when it applies to the Castro District.
Don't forget the Crisco kid - he was a friend of mine, but cholesterol did him in. Nice parody Michael. This one is well oiled. Your cholesterol count is 555.
Nice job! Fives all around!
Oops - I meant to say Jan. Sorry. Keep writing.
A world without Crisco...you CAN'T be serious!! Now see, in Amiright.com...not only do you get entertained, you LEARN things as well. Nice job...all 5s from me.
Very good title, Jan! "San Francisco" = "Ban Canned Crisco", yeah!! Good job. I like yours, and I actually did a similar parody awhile back:

Not only is that funny, it gave me an idea! -- MM
The parody was only worth fours, but the title is a five and a half.
One of the best parody titles I've seen!
Very good! 5's!
I take it PAM and Crisco are American brand names for cooking or stir fry oil? Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong or enlighten me further if I'm just near.
