So what do you call it when you intentionally/playfully come up with alternate lyrics that sort of sound like the originals? I've been listening to "Rude Boy's Back in Town" on Michael Franti & Spearhead's new album, All Rebel Rockers, and now I'm singing it, "The rootball's back in town." Although I guess it would make more sense to make it "The rootball's back in ground." A good gardening song, about a plant that travels around the world and then returns to its roots.

I'm really loving the album, by the way. Produced by Sly and Robbie and recorded in Jamaica, and showing it.

And I wish I was there
Just to run my own fingers through your worries and cares
Even though I fumble and fall
Don't let it go, oh no

Thus, while Méliès, the success-oriented popular entertainer, never aspired to the intellectual elitism nor to the darker shadings of the symbolist movement, he clearly shared the anti-rationalist, anti-naturalist feelings of that mauve-shadowed world.
