History
OM... This isn't currently setup as a parody (click error?), resulting in no additional writing credits.
I maintain that this is an adaption of "Highway" and "Favorite Things", with elements from "T.N.T."
I didn't pay attention to the lyrics so I thought it was just a cover with some additional musical elements. I'll fix it soon.
I've adjusted things now, at least making it an adaptation of "T.N.T." and "My Favorite Things". What part of "Highway to Hell" is used here? WhoSampled just lists it as using the riff from "Highway to Hell" with no mention of "T.N.T.", and the two songs do have similar riffs, so maybe we should go with that instead?
Weird, I say the track clearly opens with "Highway" and remains the musical base with the lyrics being a parody of "Favorite" and additional musical elements from TNT. You're the editor so it's your call....
