<< Is this the song you mean?
Hell (You've Put Me Through)
Cummings/Goodge
Why don't you tell me that you love me
Or show me your desire
Your lies are fuel to the fire that is burning down below
I will never know how you let our love go
Started something...can't you see
Sure have made a fool of me...and
Hell...you've put me in
Hell...thrown my love away
Hell...when you put me under your spell...in hell >>

<< It was a parody done by the National Lampoon Crowd, performed by Nate
Herman, recorded in the early 70's. I don't have the lyrics, but the track
is available on the NatLamp box set,
Buy This Box or We'll Shoot This Dog: The Best of the National Lampoon
Radio Hour. >>
And Deb said:
<<As I recall, the song starts "I'm gonna tell everybody how you put me
through hell, and the better I tell it, the better it'll sell." And in one
line she threatens to tell that he still wets the bed. It's a cute little
parody of seventies Joni with this free-form melody and lots of words and
extreme vocalization. >>
Back to me:
I AM CONFUSED!!! (Some news flash, huh?)
Did dsadowsk post the correct lyrics to this Joni parody, or are the actual
lyrics different?
Then Azeem wrote:
<< 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." >>
Moi, encore:
Or maybe it would be the original parody with a full orchestra!
Thanks to all who have tried to help, and thanks anyone who can clear this up,
