In what way is this a spoof of Run-DMC's "Walk This Way" (which is a cover, with Aerosmith, of Aerosmith's song)? -- Scott Scarecroe 05:37, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, Cookie wears a black hat and gold chains (the signature attire for Run-DMC at the time). DMC's "Walk This Way" was a well-known hit in 1987, which is when "Healthy Food" was first shown. Also, as with any Cerf spoof (Born to Add, Hey Food etc.), both of them have similar-sounding guitar riffs, rap lyrics and chorus. Cerf really had a knack for that stuff. --MuppetVJ 05:56, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Hm, I don't have both songs in front of me to compare, but would I be out of place in suggestiong that the adjective "loose" be used to prefix the use of the term "spoof"? -- Scott Scarecroe 06:00, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
I don't think that's necessary. I've already done the comparison.--MuppetVJ 06:18, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
