Original Song Title:

Original Performer:
Johann Sebastian Bach
Parody Song Title:
"Heinous Joys Your Man's Desiring"
Parody Written by:
The Comedian
The Lyrics
"Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring", the final choral section from one of Johann Sebastian Bach's 200-plus cantatas, is probably Bach's most well-known piece of music, frequently heard at weddings, in movies, and during the holiday season. If you DKTOS, please click the link provided below the parody to hear an MP3 of the original song. This parody re-writes the short choral sections of the original, and also replaces the original's constantly-repeated, lilting violin part with parody lyrics.

Fuguing fantastic!
We need to collect some of these in a "classical section". I know Guy, you and I have a few. This is a hell of an addition.
I SO want to live in your world, JD!! This is EPIC, and cleverer than a very clever thing after taking clever pills, and reading a book called "Clever Cleverness for Clever People"..and..I'll just shut up now and give you a bunch of 5s..
By the way, congrats for cracking the top ten. What took you?
What Kristof said.
John Barry: I can'tata thank you enough, sir!
Rick D: Thanks, and I like the idea of all of us contributing to a "classical section". Where would it be? I suppose Chucky would need to create a new page and post our classical/baroque parodies there....or maybe we could all put together an "album" posting of some kind? I guess we need Chucky's input on this.
Kristof: Thanks very much, KR! Look at it this way --- whenever you read one of my parodies, you're vicariously living in a tiny corner of my own little Bizarro-World while you do!
Ashkicksass: What I just said to Kristof! ;-)
P.S. Rick D --- Well gee whiz, at least I made it there in less than a year .... I didn't have the advantage of a steamer-trunk overflowing with a zillion ready-made Beatles parodies to give me a head-start, like somebody I know, heh heh heh! ;-D

You know John Barry is going to come running up our backs on that list. Malc better look out. You're right, I started with around 150. But you've been here for most of everything else.
Heh heh - what was that missile-shaped flight diagram about..? ;-)
Thanks, Merry! Heh heh, why, it was just a simple Freudian slip, Merry, just a simple Freudian slip!
(I) heard that chorale in a Bach cantata, and I KNEW this is from BWV 147 (aka "Herz Und Mund Und Tat Und Leiben)!!!
One slip....Gulp! Johnny, were you peeking at my comments elsewhere....? :-O
JD - You never cease to amaze me. I'm proud to share the same site with you. This was absolutely brilliant. Don't know why there is not more response to this. Well gotta get "Bach" to work now. And congrats on making it into the top 10.
Rick - I did indeed do one classic last Christmas, but it appears that the DKTOS link I put in is no longer working.

WhizkidF: Thanks for taking a look.
Meriadoc: Heh heh! Nyuk nyuk! Snicker snicker! Kit-Kat Kit-Kat! Three Musketeers Three Musketeers!
Guy: Thank you! In that case, you and I are a mutual never-cease-to-amaze-each-other-society, my friend. Thanks for the congrats, too.

Guy, Johnny, as soon as I can research it a little, I'm going to start a thread of classical pieces with lyrics that we and others have done. Then we'll "have a little list" that hopefully will keep growing. Maybe we can add "How Gentle Is the Rain" parodies.
Sounds like a great idea, Rick. Please, keep me abreast of developments.
Bravo, Johnny!
*bows* Thank you, Mari D, thank you!
This is on a level with the Marijuana Chorus (parody of the Halleuiah Chorus) by Handel
Thanks, Tim! ;-)
i dont like classical and ur a freaky music nerd but this is awesome 5's
jmndlbm, thank you very much! I especially like being referred-to as "...a freaky music nerd..." --- that's very apt, and I like it! ;-)
SOTM - Once again I get to comment on this fine piece of work JD, and I'm still honored to post on the same site with you.
Thank you very much, Guy. The feeling is mutual, my friend. :-)
(SOTM) This was five minutes of purely blissful reading, and that dreamy tune had me entranced from the start. Another classic!
(SOTM) good one
Thanks, Luke and Adagio.
(Aug 04 sotm)Peter Schickele would admire this, Johnny. 555
Thank you, Agrimorfee. I admire Peter Schickele!
SOTM--always living up to your own reputation, I see...; ) Fabulous as always, Johnny.
Thanks, Arwen.
(SOTM) I like list type parodies like this, though "like this" may not be a fair description since it´s almost the only one of its kind. Hmm... I´m really not succesful in describing what I mean here. Anyway, definitely a contender, before I read this I thought that Spaff would stand out (as always?) but you´re giving him a match here. Still have others to read though but they have to be helluva good to match the two of you.
Thank you, Peter.
(SOTM) Funny one.
Thanks Phil.
This damn near brought a tear to my eye, Johnny D-vine. I'd love to hear this with full orchestra and chorus. (See if you can arrange that, won't you?) Terrific. In the good sense.
Thank you, Mighty Spaff. :-D
I thought I'd commented on this one already: much less naughty than I was expecting, JD (and IMO all the better for it)
Thanks, PA. Yeah, this one reads moderately low on the naughty-meter.
nice fantasy Johnny! good one as ever... why isn't the world like this maybe it's a huge design fault in the universe .. but who can we blame?????
Thanks, martha! We can blame Paris Hilton's chihuahua, Tinkerbell.
LOL! I was also expecting naughty! Good one JD!
Hilarious
(SOTM) Still excellent! (And now I am wondering what our above exchange was about...? Was a Mars bar involved?) ;-D
Thanks Pippin, Claude, and Merry! Nyuk nyuk nyuk! ;-D
(AUG SOTM) A Hilarioius read. I'll have to try and listen to the audio file before casting my SOTM votes. 5's.
Thanks, Paul.
ALL the magazines ever banned in Boston? Sign me up, man. Great, great creative work here, JD.
Thanks very much, 2nz.

(ABC3) This classic classical piece from Johnny D deserves a Gold Medal.
I love it when you do the classics Johnny, not as much as you making me do the classics, but still you're an expert at it!
Guess technology still has a long way to go!--MM
(ABC3-H) another JD entry from before my time - and further evidence of the maniacal twists and turns of that brain of yours Johnny - nailed all of my desires and then some (...and then not some;-)) - 555
(ABC3) First, the bad: I couldn't follow this to the MP3 I d/l from your site very well. Not sure where I'm reading it wrong, but it's definitely on my end as your pacing, rhyming, and format are always top-notch.
Now, the good: The was extremely creative and funny; TMGLTM, and when it comes to parodying an instrumental, any perceived pacing blips are more than forgiven. 555.

(ABC3H) An enjoyable re-read of this maesterwurk, JD. Kultcha for the lowest common denominator. Fantastic!
(ABC-H) This is a surreal little list you've got here.
Interesting, nice take with the Stepford line. Ecclectic (sp) list.
