- Easy Mode: Weird Al tracks are allowed.
- Hard Mode: No Weird Al.
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.
Easy Mode: Amish Paradise
Hard Mode: Shia LaBeouf
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…
49 times we fought that beast
Your old man and me
I used to riiiide across the deserts you know, I used to gliiiide on my speeder, pray that I dont fiiind… what i don’t wanna find
This was the one I was coming to add. It gets stuck in my head for weeks.
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.
Bo Burnham’s Kanye Rant
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!
Pachelbel Rant by Rob Paravonian
United breaks guitars.
Not quite parody but…
Firm believer that Molecular Shape of You > Shape of You
As an mtg player these parodies are referenced enough that I think of them instead of the originals:
Its been getting stuck in my head once a month or so for the past 20 years.
Its not even very funny.
If its parody songs specifically, then hard mode isn’t possible for me
But if comedy music is allowed, much of Ninja Sex Party is on repeat, as well as a bunch of Tim Minchin’s work
A weird mix of the Electric Slide and the Hustle. The two songs mix flawlessly into each other.
Nanobot by A Capella Science. The whole channel is pretty good, but this song just shines above the pack. Shivers every time:
