- Easy Mode: Weird Al tracks are allowed.

I cant hear American Pie without it turning into Weird Al’s The Saga Begins
Don McLean almost sing Weird Al’s lyrics too during live performances…
Easy Mode: Amish Paradise
Hard Mode: Shia LaBeouf
Easy: Party in the CIA
Hard: I need a crit (Cantina Thirteen) a parody of simple plan"s I’m just a Kid
Seconded Party in the CIA!
49 times we fought that beast
Your old man and me
I think of these trilogy of songs often
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.
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!
As an mtg player these parodies are referenced enough that I think of them instead of the originals:
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.
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)
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 since late middle school to early highschool, so I got none in my head anymore.
Hey it’s pat finnerty big up my dude
…Da Hoop Shredding Gigolo…
The Bad Lip Sync version of Gotye (Kicked Your Monkey And I Used Your Goat) kinda always comes to mind
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.
Love is A Battlefield literal video is hilarious to me.
Lmfao! So many good quotes
- We only walk forwards in this house!
- 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.
Union Dixie
Away down south in the land of traitors…
The Ghoul - He got the wrong foot amputated, parody of Come and Play by the Offspring
