That reminds me of the “Prose and Cons” parody documentary on SNL, back in 1981. It included a jibe at Norman Mailer, who had just gotten Jack Abbott released from prison, and Abbott stabbed a waiter to death outside a Manhattan restaurant.

Hot and lonely on a summer night
Kill my landlord
Kill my landlord
Da watchdog barkin’-do he bite?
Kill my landlord
Kill my landlord
Slip in da window, break his neck
Den his house I start to wreck
Got no reason-what da heck?!
Kill my landlord
Kill my landlord
C-I-L-L my landlord
Dead”
