National Lampoon's Lemmings, a spinoff of the humor magazine National Lampoon, was a 1973 stage show which helped launch the performing careers of John Belushi, Christopher Guest, and Chevy Chase. The show was co-written and co-directed by a number of people including Sean Kelly.
The show presented a mock rock festival, Woodshuck: Three Days of Peace, Love and Death, as a parody of Woodstock: Three Days of Peace and Music. It featured spoofs of Woodstock performers, including Joe Cocker, James Taylor and Joan Baez, as well as a parody of Bob Dylan and songs performed by fictional groups (e.g. the Motown Manifestoes singing Papa was a Running Dog Lackey of the Bourgeoisie).
The songs from the show were subsequently issued as a record album. A video of one of the original performances, National Lampoon: Lemmings: Dead in Concert 1973, was eventually made available several decades later.
