Streets of laredo parody: a video

Recommended Posts

Another one! You may know the old cowboy song, The Streets of Laredo, and you may even know of some other parodies, notably by the Smothers Brothers. This one is possibly older than the SBs'; writers' details in thevideo titles. All made in AD and Serif MoviePlus.
(I came across this version on the Mudcat Cafe (https://mudcat.org/), a great source of serious and humorous songs, and a great forum too.)

That was absolutely hilarious! In elementary school we had music class that taught elementary music theory and 'classic' US folk songs (though many of those were British in origin). One song that particularly stuck in my mind because of its sad melody and haunting theme is "The Streets of Laredo." I will now add your most delightful version to my memory of the greatest cowboy songs and never be sad about those Laredo streets again. Well done, Sir!

There’s also Allan Sherman’s parody, The Streets of Miami.

As @Solly observed, Steve, your video is hilarious.
