Elvis Costello's "Veronica" is strangely peppy for a song about dementia. This parody is also about a woman who has left behind the memories that go with a name, a name that rhymes with "Veronica" — and indeed more of the vowel patterning of the original song has been preserved than is typical of my parodies.
