The version of 'Going Underground' that has the line 'where the fuck's my fucking train'.

Not spoofs as such but The Lonely Island are my guilty pleasure

London Underground it's called - brilliant!

This is what I thought of when I read the title. "London Underground". So good!

Agreed - We'll All Go Together is easily one of my favourite songs ever.

I do think London Underground has aged poorly. It’s mostly funny…except the part with shooting them with a rifle

Not parodies as such but I love Hayseed Dixie's covers of heavy rock songs

The Kosovo Song, a parody of the Beach Boy's Kokomo.

Good luck to Kosovo ...

Norwegian soldiers on UN Peacekeeping duties made it apparently. Vicious lyrics (in a clever way) about politics and war.

MintMocha · 27/02/2022 14:11

I like Fascinating Aida's Ofsted Song "A Teacher's Lot is not a Happy One", based on Gilbert and Sullivan's "A Policeman's Lot..."

The Hillywood Show does amazing music video parodies if you love certain tv shows & films. Their Supernatural one is probably the best known but they've done Doctor Who, Sherlock, Stranger Things, Suicide Squad, Hocus Pocus & more. Their M.O. is to pay homage to the originals by getting as close visually & audio-wise to the originals as they can, given that the lead roles are played by the two young women. They are ridiculously talented.

This is a more sobering parody.

Not quite the same thing but the Do it All adverts in the 80s had a great parody.
