Okay, how about this?
  (emo)DISCLAIMER: The world is black. The sky spews forth a never ending acid shower. Babies spontaneously combust while crying out for their blank blanks. It also stinks a great deal. Ranma 1/2 is from the mind of Rumiko Takahashi and not my own.

Admittedly, the original disclaimer sucked. How about this?
  DISCLAIMER: (sung to "the brady bunch") 
  Here's the story of Rumiko Takahashi, 
  Who liked to write about aquatransexuals
  As well as Kitty and Shogokukan
  Who made anime serials.
  They got together, birds of a feather
  And made a show and it did really well
  So if it could be, brought to America
  Maybe it'd really sell
  And so Viz video met with Rumiko & Co. 
  And bought the distribution rights on a hunch
  That the group could somehow form a family
  That's the way they became the Ranma Bunch!

First, too long. It ate my entire preview pane and had some space left 
over for dessert.

Second, the important thing to remember about written song parodies is 
scansion. Which is a short and pretentious way of saying "the pattern of 
rhythm and emphasis used on the words". If you don't match the original 
song syllable for syllable and accent for accent, anybody who's actually 
humming along in their head is going to have to edit your lyrics to fit, 
in the 1.06 seconds between reading them, parsing them, and having the 
next line of the music march merrily through the brain. (PROTIP: If you 
have a song stuck in your head, "Yellow Submarine" will get it out, 
whatever it is.)

Third, there are approximately 5 hojillion (that's 8.3 gabillion for our 
European readers) songs to pick which are _not_ evocative of a 
longrunning pablum sitcom which has been extensively and professionally 
mocked for its corniness.

Verdict: Still Not Funny.
