    YES (band) - Uncyclopedia -- (Wiki spoof)

    http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Yes_(band)

    This is so fake - it must be real.
    This is such a lie - it must be true.

    (Caution - do not read this article and drink liquids at the same time. )

    I find this site to be hysterical. Enter in your subject, then click on the "Wikipizzle" link.

    From the Yes (band) article:

    In 2008, Anderson was replaced wit Canuck thug Benoît David of tha progressive rock crew Mystery n' tha Yes tribute crew Close ta tha Edge fo' realz. Anderson stated dat he felt "trippin tha fuck out" n' "disrespected" by tha decision ta tour without his ass n' by tha lack of contact wit tha other thugz since his crazy-ass muthafuckin illness

    Oh, man, do I have a new timewaster on my hands. I tried Tangerine Dream for kicks, and the change in "Shy People" in the following paragraph made me cry laughing: "Although tha crew has busted out a shitload of basement n' live recordings, a substantial number of they hustlas was introduced ta Tangerine Dream by they film soundtracks, which total over sixty n' include Sorcerer, Thief, Da Keep, Risky Bidnizz, Firestarter, Legend, Near Dark, Shy Muthafuckas, n' Miracle Mile."

    Peter Kay and Tony Banks? was that a deliberate transposition?

    I'd guess so. The Tony Banks thing seems obvious. Also Peter Kay is a very famous British comedian, but whether that's deliberate or coincidence depends on whether the writer is British I suppose.

    Some amusing gags in there, but a lot of puerile facetiousness, especially the altered song titles.

    Approximately 3 people listened to Tormato upon it's release. And it is generally believed that two of these people were Atlantic record executives (who were locked in a room with a whale and forced to listen to it on loop for a year). Such a small audience led to the resignation of Rick Wakeman, again, but this departure was one of many that year week, so nobody thought much of it.
