 Posted: Thu Jun 12, 2008 1:36 am Post subject: Parody songs |
 |
|
I have loved them since I was 16. That was when I was introduced to them. The first one I heard was "Who let the Cows Out" then "Frosty the Pervert" and the Britney Spears parody song of "Baby One More Time." That's when I got hooked on them.
I like Weird Al and Bob Rivers. Some of my favorites are "I can't Afford to drive My Car" Jurassic Park" "Clean the Catbox" "Ebay" "Trash day" "Couch Potato."
Has anyone ever came up with their own parody?
I just came up with "Meth" for "Beth" by Kiss.
"Oh meth I really need you, but I can't use you right now. Me and the boys are addicted and we just can't find a way to get off............
Oh meth what can I do without you, oh meth what can I do? Just a few more months and we'll be right home to you....... "
Sorry Parody block lol.
Meth rhymes with Beth and people get addicted to it so that's what made it easy to come up with. My boyfriend laughed when I sung the song to him of what I had so far. |

I have two Weird Al CDs and a Bob Rivers tape in my collection. I like some of the spoofs on Mad TV as well.

Although, I haven't listened to Weird Al in a long time...I'm a fan from way back.

"Pretty fly for a rabbi" was amazing by Weird Al.
"So how about you? Have you seen this Jew?
Reads the Torah, does his own accounting too
Working like a dog, in the synagogue"
"The parents pay the mohel and he gets to keep the tip"

I've written quite a few parodies 
The best ones are all inside jokes and stuff though.

Funniest and cruellest one I've heard in recent years....Bob Rivers' 'Got To Get Rid Of My Wife'.

Not that Macca's private life is ANY of ANYONE's business of course, but still.....

Here is one by Weird Al:
Born To Be Mild.....
Get your program running
Head out to the center
Terminals are waiting
For the data that you'll enter
Everybody says that you're a nerd, but
They should know that you just don't care
Got your Hewlett-Packard on your belt and
Vaseline in your hair
Like a true mommy's child
You were born, born to be mild
When your batteries die
You're always gonna cry
Born to be mild
Pencils in your pocket
Patent leather briefcase
Studying your Fortran
You got pimples on your face
Gotta do your homework
Forget about the prom dance
They think that you're a big jerk
'Cause you wear a pair of flood pants
Every day you wake up
Your oscilloscope is humming
Parties tend to break up
When they find out that you're coming
Born To Be Mild is, as of yet, officially unreleased. It is a parody of "Born To Be Wild" by Steppenwolf with original lyrics by "Weird Al" Yankovic.
And here is another that is actually an urban myth:

Not sure if there was ever an official release, but someone recorded a quite sleezy parody on "Macarena". The parody was called "Masturbata". I won't post the lyrics for the sake of minor eyes reading this, but the line "I gotta use a towel to keep my carpet clean-a, hey masturbata" was quite hilarious

My favorite parody song is "Which Backstreet Boy is Gay?". I have no idea who does the song, but I'd sure love to have it on my iPod.

That song isn't by Weird Al. Someone has misattributed that song to Weird Al because he is a well known parodist.

I came up with better lyrics:
Meth, I hear it calling
But I can't use it right now
Me and boys are addicted
And we just can't find a way to stop |
