"Your Auntie Grizelda" - The Monkees

Marvelously sung by Peter Tork, the Monkees' vocal equivalent to Ringo Starr.

Someone should have done a parody called "A Lawyer Named Sue".

Actually, the Shel Silverstein/Johnny Cash song is quite likely inspired by a real male lawyer and judge named Sue K. Hicks.

Should also include a few lines from "My Favorite Things".

When the dog bites,
When the bee stings,
And you're feeling bad,
I simply ring up,
A Lawyer named Sue,
And then I don't feel so bad!

This song may seem melodramatic, but it's an accurate depiction of the reality of the angst of a jilted young man, if he has any human emotion at all.

Interview with Sylvia Pandolfi's mother, and Sylvia, about Shel Silverstein, and his failure to launch.

The group that dedicated itself to "The Revolution" in the early 1970s, idolizes the man who dropped the bomb.
