Description[ | ]
While asparagus has been enjoyed for over 5,000 years, it was seldom noteworthy until 1969 when hit songwriter Chuck Randolph was busy writing songs for an upcoming musical. Already behind schedule and dealing with a constantly changing screenplay, Randolph was struggling. During a meeting, the film's producer asked Randolph to compose a song about the forthcoming Age of Aquarius.
Regrettably, Randolph misheard the producer, and thought he wanted Randolph to compose a song about the dawning of the Age of Asparagus. While Randolph was unsure what asparagus had to do with what the producer referred to as "harmony and understanding," he set to work. It wasn't until weeks later that the producer realized Randolph's mistake and fired him, moving forward with another composer and releasing the Age of Aquarius in 1969 to chart topping success.
Randolph, angry and bitter but needing a new source of income, released the Age of Asparagus in 1970 to middling sales. While it was the first parody song ever created, albeit by accident, it wasn't until the 1980s that parody songs became hugely popular.
