Song parodies were just about all I listened to in middle school. Bob Rivers, Weird Al, I loved all of them, learned to sing them from heart, and integrated them into other things I did. They had the great melodies of the pop songs of the day, and the lyrics were funny, they were perfect for adding a small smile to an otherwise unpleasant middle school experience.
My favorite was Bob Rivers, though I often didn't understand the things he wrote about. Still, his songs about Star Wars always made me happy, and even today I still remember many of the lyrics. The complicated referential humor of "The Phantom Medley" appealed to the part of me that liked to comb through the song looking for things I had missed, and the lyrics referred to my favorite movie of the moment.
As perfect as they are for middle schoolers, there is a point when enough becomes enough, and that was passed long ago. The lyrics are usually not even that funny any more, they are generally fairly shallow when compared to other vehicles of humor. They are still targeted, for the most part, at that middle school audience, and while I remember them fondly they are little more than fond memories. Now I would rather leave that chapter behind, and let them be as funny as I remember them.
Now I hear people playing the same songs on Youtube late at night in the dorms, and I wonder how they still find them funny. Realizing the general shallowness of the songs makes me rather sad, because the great deal of amusement I got from them once is tempered by my growing distaste for them. If I could just put them aside as a relic of the past, that would be well and good, but the people I associate with insist on continually bringing them up, as items of nostalgia or as things they still find funny, and that I should still find funny if only I weren't such a stick in the mud.
