I love good parodies and would like to see/read/listen to your favourites. (Please post what it's parodying if not obvious from the video title or link)

I'll start. This one is a parody of Whole Again by Atomic Kitten (NSFW -swearing, drug references)

I also find these stories HILARIOUS. The first link is a quick read, the second is a longer read and they parody The BabySitters Club:

Bret Harte's parodies of Charlotte Bronte, Dickens and Conan Doyle were written more than 100 years ago but are still hilarious.

Miss Mix is the Bronte one - the others are The Haunted Man and The Stolen Cigar Case.

The Stolen Cigar Case

The Haunted Man

I find the literal parodies of songs amusing, Bonnie Tyler here for you:

Giggorata · 01/02/2018 16:36

White and Nerdy by Weird Al, parodying Ridin Dirty
Smells like Nirvana, parodying Smells like Teen Spirit
Most things by Weird Al, actually.

Then there's one, I Wanna be a Pop Star, I don't know who it's by, parodying I Wanna be a Rock Star

I like this mom -

MissionItsPossible · 01/02/2018 19:30

Thank you. Just watched some of these (only the ones I know the original) and love the mom/Taylor Swift one and the Weird Al Nirvana one. I've already seen the Bonnie Tyler one and love it Grin

Today I just watched college humour’s “rejected song parodies” sketches (can’t link but the best one is the second one). Also love the Star Wars parody they did called Galactic Empire State Of Mind.

Otherwise - French and Saunders titanic, Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place as one long 80s horror parody. Sure there are more just can’t thknk of any right now

The Orville, a hilarious parody of Star . Even DH laughs at it and he normally hates American humour

goose1964 · 01/02/2018 21:11

Star Trek I hate predictive text

Poshjock · 01/02/2018 21:19

I love this Despacito parody - I wear speedos

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 01/02/2018 21:24

Weird Al is excellent, Amish Paradise and Aluminium Foil are two of his best. Morgana Robinson’s Adele parodies are hilarious and Katie Brand did a whole series of female singers parodies. All on YouTube.

Parody of All About That Base

MrsPottsTheTeapot · 01/02/2018 23:36

Every single Horrible Histories song series 2-5. Can never decide which is my favourite but this is a good place to start

London Underground by The Amatuer Transplants.

Hippyshubby · 03/02/2018 03:53

I echo the call for all of Horrible Histories.

I'll add in all of Randy Rainbow too:

And for those who know their Lovecraft there is the amazing "hey there Cthulu"

wewentoutonsunday · 03/02/2018 04:42

I like the 80s weird al stuff - eat it, I think I'm a clone now, like a surgeon...

But most of all I love Tom Lehrer. Utter genius.
