Fairy Tale Parodies

The release of Shrek in 2001 brought about a renewed interest in parodies of well-known fairy tales. However, doing send-ups of the classics is nothing new.


In the 1960, a series of recordings were released that poked fun at Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty using "spoonerisms"  for comic effect.

Rindercella and Beeping Sleauety can still make me laugh when the "Prandsome Hince" will "lurch all over the sand" for the "Princiful Beautress."



Check them out on YouTube:

Beeping Sleauty by Archie Campbell

Rindercella as told by Steven Daniels

Enjoy!
