Subject: Bands That I Need To Parody

Written By: Matthias on 08/19/10 at 3:21 pm

I'm currently working on completing a whole bunch of Aerosmith songs since Aerosmith is one of my favorite Musical Artists of all time, but there are a few more bands that deserve recognition that I haven't done nearly enough of yet...

These bands are:

1. Weezer
2. The Killers
3. Flogging Molly
4. Reel Big Fish
5. Mighty Mighty Bosstones
6. Ben Folds Five

And...

7. Cake

(Just to name a few)

What caused me to start this thread however is the addition of the comedy folk band "Flight of the Conchords" and the instrumental tracks created by Karaoke Version...

1. "Hiphopopotamus vs Rhymenoceros": http://www.karaoke-version.com/mp3-backingtrack/flight-of-the-conchords/hiphopopotamus-vs-rhymenoceros.html
2. "Business Time": http://www.karaoke-version.com/mp3-backingtrack/flight-of-the-conchords/business-time.html
3. "Bowie's In Space": http://www.karaoke-version.com/mp3-backingtrack/flight-of-the-conchords/bowie-s-in-space.html

If you haven't heard of Flight of the Conchords, I HIGHLY recommend them!

Big fan of Sonata Arctica, I would love to see a parody of "Wolf And Raven"!

On my list(mainly because I have ideas for some of the songs from these bands):

1. Black Market Flowers

2. L7

3. Blood Hound Gang

4. The Seekers

5. Cowboy Junkies

6. Freedy Johnston

Not a complete list, there are also some parody challenges I need to get to, but I intend to do number 1 and 4 first.

I might give it a try, would also try "Black Sheep", "Paid In Full" or "Shamandalie" sometime.

I'm really suprised I haven't done a parody of Taylor Swift, Nickelback, Christina Aguilera or Kanye West yet...all ripe for parody, I just can't think of anything.

I hate Taylor Swift so no big loss there and I thought you did do a parody of Kanye although I may be wrong

Thanks Matt, I did do a parody of Kanye...not one of my better ones, so thats why I forgot about it.  ;D
Replace Kanye with Lifehouse, Timbaland and/or Everclear.

I have a Kanye West parody on the go at the moment.. it's one that's been on the back burner for a year or two, and gets added to on rare occasions.. similar to my Sir Mixalot one..

But I've stopped looking for specific bands/songs to parody.. when inspiration strikes (as it tends to whenever I hear a song more than once in a short space of time), a parody gets written.  Got some fun original material to record, too..

I'm very bad at turning down requests.. anything of theirs in particular you were thinking of?

Might have known you'd pick that one.. though the first parody idea that came to mind probably wouldn't make a lot of sense to anyone that side of the pond.
