I’m traveling tonight from Tucson, Arizona to Albany, New York. During my 3-hour layover in Chicago, I passed the time by writing a song parody, to be sung to the tune of “Chicago” by Fred Fisher:
Chicago, Chicago
I’m charging my phone,
chrome table, I’m able
to sit here alone
On my way to New York, I plunge a fork into
salad, raw salad,
waiting for connections is just the time to
write ballads, (like this one)!
I’ll soon board
and move toward
that row in the back,
grab aisle seat, throw luggage on the rack
(packed)
settle in now, sit back, close my eyes
soon I will fly in the friendly skies of
Chicago, Chicago and then New York!
(Below: Tucson International Airport, Chicago O’Hare Airport)
Here’s the original version of the song:
loristory 
With you in spirit, Lori.

Lol I love parodies of musicals that have me singing along with the tune with alternative lyrics. They make ordinary tasks seem much less ordinary and much more fun š I totally heard the Chicago tune in this one.
I once wrote a spoof of “Joanna” from West Side Story called “Paella”, channeling my inner Weird Al Yankovic:-
Paella
The most beautiful sound I ever heard
Paella
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word…
I’ve just met a girl named Paella
And suddenly chorizo and prawns
Will never be the same
To me.
Paella
I’ve just eaten a portion of Paella
And suddenly I’ve found
How wonderful a sound
My jaws chomping can be
Paella
Say it loud, on the stove it lies smouldering
Say it soft or the neighbors will want some (get your own!)
Paella
I’ll never stop eating Paella
Even if I’ve eaten another dish
It’s no use saying “That’ll do, pig”
Because it won’t
Paella

Haha! Now Iām hungry for paella, even though I just ate some chocolate cake!
