From the official Parodohymnodist, inspired by this:
The Kids Are Old Rite by “Quis”
I don’t mind a little Latin in my Mass,
that’s fine, in fact it gives a little gravitas,
But to turn to the altar with candles alight,
seems to draw families in, the kids are Old Rite.
the kids are Old Rite.Sometimes, I think the revolution’s lost,
bells chime, and burlaps banners all are tossed,
and I shed a few tears for those lost wasted years
‘Cuz despite all we’ve done, the kids are Old Rite
the kids are Old RiteI know I should go to the Lord and confess,
for the plans that we laid have just made a big mess.I don’t mind some incense and a little lace,
But these kids are turning up in every place,
if you shut down one Old Mass, there’s five other sites,
best to leave them alone, the kids are Old Rite
the kids are Old Rite.Sometimes, I worry that the Council’s failed,
our Spes, and our Gaudium have been derailed,
then I read all the texts, and it’s in black and white,
the kids are the future, and they’re all Old Rite
the kids are Old Rite
the kids are Old Rite
the kids are Old Rite
Are you of an age that you do not know the song whence this is derived?

Who est “Quis”?
Yes.
“Quis” est Who.
This bass player/professor enjoyed reading these lyrics. Brilliant. As a Who fan, I find them most timely and appropriate. Well done!
I heard it was by “The Whom.”
Anyway, The Kids are Alright came out the year before I was born and my parents listened to C&W, so this is actually the first time I’ve listened to it, although I have seen the title and have gotten annoyed by the spelling of “alright.”
I’ve never heard the original song, but the parody is hilarious.
But the TLM cannot be suppressed now, because We Won’t Get Fooled Again.
