Hoping some of you will share some of your favorite song parodies. I stumbled on this one that had me spraying tea all over my laptop. It’s for the old Bobby Goldsboro song Honey. (And if any song needed a parody, it was this one.)
Got any favorites you’d like to share?
This is my favorite one of late. A parody of that horrible Kesha person.
That was funny even tho I’m not familiar with the original song, and now I’m glad.
I give you I’m Elmo and I Know It. But don’t blame me; blame Scalzi.
Here’s one I wrote myself for purposes of serenading a particular presidential candidate. Please feel free to use it if he comes oozing through your town:
GO GOOGLE YOURSELF (“Consider Yourself”—from Oliver!)
COPYRIGHT JA 2012 by Sam A. Robrin or whoever the hell it is who writes these things. Go ahead and use it (hey, I lifted the melody), but if you make a little money on it, I want some!
Go Google yourself—Don’t dodge!
Go Google yourself—Senator Leubenschidtt!
Your prudery is so nuts,
The same
Name
Means “Stuff that leaks from butts.”
Go Google yourself—Uh oh!
Go Google yourself, and it’ll pop right up!
Your policies pry,
You see:
We de-
Fy
Laws against pri-
Vacy.
At some point in this race,
You should face
Reality:
Your "morality"
's To blame
For being so disgrace-
d That they'd place
In lexicons
Such a concept by your name!
Go Google yourself—We'll wait.
It's not a surprise, we bet.
And if you win the delegation from our state,
"Santorum" is just
What we'll get!
Is this a parody of Buddy Holly’s music?
No More Hot Dogs
I LIKE “Tik-Tok”. But that parody’s still hilarious.
Some favourites from the minecraft zombies currently infesting my house in the shape of small children:
Amish Paradise by Weird Al. Saw it in 8th grade science class and been listening to it ever since. Hard to believe that was almost 20 years ago now.
You may wish to consider “Leubenscheiss.”
Anything by Richard Cheese.
A little number based on Johnny Cash’s I’ve Been Everywhere - I’ve Got Body Hair.
A parody of an American patriotic song about the real America.
There’s one I really liked that someone taped off the radio like 15-20 years ago. It was called “Monster Dump” and it was a parody of the “Monster Mash” about, well, feces. The radio station that played it changed hands and formats shortly after we heard this, and attempts in years since to track it down have proven futile.
Ex-lax, prunes, and a slice of whole wheat bread
I ate an ear of corn before I went to bed
A glass of Kaopectate and some Metamucil too
I pinched another loaf, and loudly farted too
A few that date back to Pac-8 days:
Fight on (toot toot)
For old 'SC (toot toot)
They have to pay (toot toot)
The referee (toot toot)
Fight on (toot toot)
For old 'SC (toot toot)
The quarterback (toot toot)
Forgot to pee (toot toot)
The dirty golden bear
Is losing all his hair
His teeth are out
He’s got the gout
He don’t know what it’s all about
His eyes are made of glass
That bear ain’t go no class
So take your golden teddy bear
And shove him up your golden …
O, it’s beer, beer, beer
That makes you want to cheer
On the farm
On the farm
It’s beer, beer,beer
That makes you want to cheer
On the Leland Stanford Junior Farm.
My eyes are dim
I cannot see
I have not brought my specs with me
I have (hey) not (ho)
Brought my specs with me!
(Continue with gin/win, whiskey/frisky, etc.)
I’m kinda partial to National Lampoon’s “Deteriorata”.
(For those of you not familiar with what’s being parodied – here’s Les Crane’s “Desiderata”.)
That was from “National Lampoon’s Radio Dinner”. LOTS of great songs by Christopher Guest et al. Including an angry John Lennon, and a great Joan Baez.
Even song parodies that segue into commercials…
