The following article talks about funny music video parodies. I hope you walk away feeling more informed about the topic in general. Happy reading to all.
Funny song parodies make us laugh and we all need to laugh. There are so many sad songs on the radio and so much depressing news that these song parodies have become a welcome relief. What could be more therapeutic when you are stuck in traffic than a good laugh?
Weird Al Yankovic is the undisputed King of song parodies. The real genius of his work is his use of video to promote his songs. He also parodies the original song video and let's face it so many music videos are already ridiculous. One of my favorites is his spoof of the Michael Jackson song "Beat It". Weird Al dresses like Michael Jackson and mimics his moves except he's singing "Eat It" and wearing a fat suit. Another reason I like song parodies is that they help remind us not to take everything so seriously. That goes for many recording artists who are full of themselves. They need to realize that Weird Al is not dissing their song, he's merely recycling it into something funny.
Some songs are so overplayed on the radio that we get so tired of them that we can hardly bear to listen anymore. When a song gets parodied, it becomes new again and we can enjoy it. Another wonderful thing about parodies is that it makes us aware of the original words of the song because we have to think about them to see how the song has been changed. Sometimes, you discover something wonderful about the original song once you focus on the lyrics. It's a little gift for us. Parodies also help us remember songs because it's nearly impossible to hear the parody without thinking of the original song.
My favorite thing about parodies is that they are a fun way to use language. It's very creative and it makes you think. Once you've gotten hooked on parodies, you begin to try to parody songs yourself. It makes you more creative and it helps you pass the time while waiting for the flagman to wave you through the construction zone.
