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_](http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/bobbygoldsboro4.shtml). (And if any song needed a parody, it was this one.) Got any favorites you’d like to share? ---

[This](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JelGcEyS6Aw&ob=av3e) is my favorite one of late. A parody of that horrible Kesha person. ---

I give you [I’m Elmo and I Know It](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWF86D_UNxc). But don’t blame me; blame [Scalzi](http://whatever.scalzi.com/2012/01/19/id-rather-listen-to-this-than-the-original/). ---

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! [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPlUwiW8Ddc) 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! ``` ---

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: [Revenge](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPJUBQd-PNM) [TNT](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2rDbRUDkds&feature=fvwrel) ---

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. ---

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 ---

I’m kinda partial to National Lampoon’s “[Deteriorata](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1NAwlepnSs)”. (For those of you not familiar with what’s being parodied – here’s Les Crane’s “[Desiderata](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxrsNCLr_xk)”.) ---

That was from “National Lampoon’s Radio Dinner”. LOTS of great songs by Christopher Guest et al. Including an [angry John Lennon](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDOBMz2TGi8&feature=related), and a great [Joan Baez.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TW3uTY_OMLA&feature=related) Even song parodies that [segue into commercials](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pMYFc9N0gs)…
