Subject: Unparodied or Rarely Parodied AWESOME Bands And Artists
Written By: Matthias on 07/19/08 at 12:03 am
I started this thread to pretty much list a bunch of amazing bands that I love that don't get parodied nearly enough, or at all...
For example...
1. OAR (Of A Revolution): A college rock band, from Ohio that really rocks!
2. Sister Hazel: I want to parody their, "Change Your Mind" which I heard originally on the movie "Bedazzled"
3. Keane: An amazing piano rock band that really hasn't made it big in America, but it a huge hit in the UK
4. Dragonforce: A band with the fastest guitarists I've ever seen!!!
5. Dresdon Dolls: I really love their song, "Coin Operated Boy", and I've been wanting to parody that song for awhile
I'll jot down more Awesome bands and artists that I come across in this thread, feel free to jot down a few of your favorite "rare" artists.

I know "change your mind", but to me it seems a bit short lyric-wise to be good parody fodder. "Crazy Game of Poker" by OAR is on the long side, but I may give that a shot at some point. "Somewhere only we know" by Keane was a song that I wanted to write a good parody of pretty much since the first time I've heard it (it wasn't top priority but i did want to do it) but I was never able to. I don't know ay songs by the last two bands in the first post.

The New Pornographers (A band that Cat introduced me to is pretty good, especially their song, "Sing Me Spanish Techno")

In my opinion, these bands range from good to who? (not the who) to Mr. Bungle.

If I ever had an Idea for it I would do Touch Of Grey. I'm not sure that OS has been done at all. I haven't looked up Greatful Dead so maybe there is some of their stuff.

This isn't a project, just a statement of what bands I would like to introduce people to and be introduced to in return.
Like when I was introduced to "Tub Ring" by Agrimorfee, and when Agrimofee in return was introduced to "Adam And Andrew"

Death metal, some melodic death metal, grindcore, speedmetal and similar genres are all amiright virgins. Many of the bands in these genres have insane drumming and guitar work, but the lyrics are all either really bad or indiscernable (i.e., no way to know what is being screamed w/o a lyrics sheet).
How do you parody a band in which the lead singer sounds like he's vomiting a Tasmanian Devil through a drain pipe while being tortured?
BLURAGGGHHHHH! HRR-rrr-RRR-rrr-WARLHHHH! UGH LULLL!
I just parodied about a thousand songs with that line ^. ;D

etc.
This is a really funny cover of "Oops, I Did It Again":

Christian music seems to be pretty big as well, yet little of that is on amiright either.

"Open brown eye, out a fart poured"?
I've resisted the temptation to turn "Awesome God" into "Your God is a false un-god, you flake". Phil might tackle it...

If I did some of these I wouldn't have to worry about hearing them correctly. I ought to try it some time when I'm not thinking of Youtube projects and Idol.

This place could use some more Ween (wacky, rockin, duo out of New Hope, PA--they specialize in twisted studio sounds that spoof every genre of music, but are a powerhouse live band...start your education here: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=ween&search_type=&aq=f)
and Super Furry Animals (Welsh band with psychedelic influences, catchy pop tunes and a wicked sense of humor...start here: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=super+furry+animals&search_type=&aq=-1&oq=

Another pretty impressive Artist is Fiona Apple, and she's only been done 3 times...

There are only 20 parodies of Frank Zappa/The Mothers Of Invention, of 12 songs...

Some of the heavier stuff I like the musicianship, but the lyrics kill any chance of making a decent parody.
Christian rock *is* awesome - awesomely, mindnumbingly boring.

Then you need to try Steve Taylor.... http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=51759112
http://www.last.fm/music/Steve+Taylor
I like to refer to him as the Christian Frank Zappa...he's got a great knack for a pop tune while not being afraid to question the practices of his own church with thought-provoking, humorous lyrics. ("Lifeboat" is particularly LOL)

I think that if a Christian Frank Zappa ever existed, he would rapidly self-destruct from the cognitive dissonance.

"Rebirth"
