The Bad Lip Sync version of Gotye (Kicked Your Monkey And I Used Your Goat) kinda always comes to mind

usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca · 8 pts · 1y

Maybe a stretch as it's not parodying a song but parodies Star Wars kinda sorta? Seagulls! (Stop it Now)

Lonely Island has a few (Jack Sparrow) comes to mind but again not a direct parody of a specific song.

Richard Cheese does straight up covers but they are so stylistically different that it's basically a parody. Chop Suey

Then there's the classic comedy music duos: Garfunkel & Oates (Loophole), Flight of the Conchords (Business Time)

Bo Burnham's whole Inside special is fantastic too.

Looks like I'm mostly listing comedy music and not necessarily parodies, but oh well.

Nanobot by A Capella Science. The whole channel is pretty good, but this song just shines above the pack. Shivers every time:

All the Bardcore covers by Hildegard Von Blingin are amazing.

I first visited London only a few months after this came out. It was stuck in my head the moment I got on the platform at Heathrow.

I cannot listen to The Jam without this playing in my head.

miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 1y (1 reply)

I saw 'The Jam' and clicked the link.
I'm ruined.

pHr34kY@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

I just went on Youtube and watched the real song that was posted 15 years ago.

The comments are flooded with "RIP Rick Buckler" (drummer) from 15 days ago.

Now I'm ruined.

I had a friend who sung I Can’t Feel my Face when I’m with you, as I can’t feel my face when I Go POOP and that is all I will ever hear now.

tetris11@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 1y

I had a cousin who would sing to her kid to the tune of the CanCan song:

I've got something in my nappy, making me unhappy, tralalala la lalalalalala (repeat)

I am never forget the day I first meet the great Lobachevsky.

He took me by the hand, and beat my head against the wall!

In one word, in one word he told me the secret of success in mathematics:

Plagiarize!

Lmfao! So many good quotes

  • Guy with a pedo moustache pulls me into a slow dance
  • So let's gang up on this guy and make him watch us dance

If you like that, here's the Total Eclipse of the Heart literal video, which I also find hilarious.

As an mtg player these parodies are referenced enough that I think of them instead of the originals:

Zero Wing Rhapsody

I found it (in the mid-2000s as a preteen) before I consciously learned about the original Bohemian Rhapsody, so every time I now hear the latter, my mind immediately goes "what happen, what happen, somebody set up us the bomb, somebody set up us the bomb".

This is Pat Finnerty's (accurate) take on writing a hit Offspring song.

Most of the early Minecraft parodies but Fallen Kingdom is probably pretty high up there

A random tiny soundcloud account that did a parody of All Star that's about the magical girls anime genre...now I want to find it again.

Easy Mode:

Definitely 2 of my favorite Weird Al songs that I don't really hear people ever talk about:

Don't Download This Song, and Virus Alert.

Hard Mode:

I don't listen to non-Weird Al parody songs anymore and haven't since late middle school to early highschool, so I got none in my head anymore.

That llama llama duck song

Its been getting stuck in my head once a month or so for the past 20 years.

Its not even very funny.

tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 1y

A weird mix of the Electric Slide and the Hustle. The two songs mix flawlessly into each other.
