National Lampoon isn't as much of an institution here as it is over there; 
however, I do remember enjoying one called "Stevie Nicks - Isn't She A Fox?", 
a very accurate skit on her ethereal warbling style and the impenetrability 
of her lyrics.  There was also a John Lennon one which was very difficult to 
play on the radio owing to the ripe language.

A modern Joni parody might be rather different to "You put me through hell".  
I reckon it would be more along the lines of "I'm a misunderstood genius and 
everyone else makes rubbish music."  Only a bit more, you know, funny... 
Where are the list parody experts??

NP: Suzanne Vega - 99.9F - wonderful title song from her best album, even if 
Joni doesn't rate her...

PS Welcome to the list Sarah, good to see another Brit here!
