Unchained Melody was covered by The Goons way back and was banned from being played untill only a few years back. The powers that be thought it was in bad taste.

I had to add Weird Al for those who haven't seen his parodies

Weird Al Yankovic - Fat

Weird Al Yankovic - Eat It

The fact that Michael Jackson gave premission and was happy for him to do a parady of his 2 songs is great.

Some more -

Smells Like Nirvana

Like A Surgeon

I'm not usually a fan of parody songs, most of which are utterly unfunny, but I did like this one! "I am worser at superlatives"... very clever.

Another good one is the London Underground song, although it would be better with a bit less bad language in it. Those guys (under the name "Amateur Transplants") have done a few quite amusing parodies, including Careless Surgeon and Anaesthetist's Hymn (both on YouTube if you search).

I wrote a parody about Fifa 09 nearly a year ago (link below).

If your not into Fifa you probably won't get it but it was very well recieved on the EA forums.

The Wurzels and the Barron Knights were the masters of parody back in the 70s...

...and Judge Dread had his moments!

I love these guys!

This one always makes me laugh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b90BR...eature=related
Even though I'm a girl and definitely don't agree with it!!

Kevin Blloody Wilson does some great parodies, in bad taste I admit.
Try this first line of House Of The Rising Sun, made only just after the storms in the USA:
There was a house in New Orleans that's now in Tennessee.
He says he writes songs for all the best singers but it is not his faullt they won't use them.

I thought of an idea for a parody. A parody of Beyonce's song "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" called Politicians (Put Some Spin On It). I haven't wrote it yet but have some lyrics in mind.

Prehaps we could have a DS Parody competition where you write a parody which can be about any subject. There would be about 3 judges who decide on who goes through. Im not sure how many rounds there would be.

You won't need to post a video or audio file of your parody, posting the lyrics would be enough. If someone here is good at creating this kind of thing, tell me.
