Also, the above mentioned parody that I linked has in and of itself the most hits/views on Youtube and other such websites making it one of the more prominent and well known parodies of such and thus noteworthy and worthy of inclusion in this article per those respects.

What kind of nonsense? Some attempt at translation would be good. People have translated 'jabberwocky".
