As a big fan of Wierd Al, I was wondering if there are any other Parody artists out there that produce similar stuff. Ideas and links please

There's also www.spaff.com as well as many parody authors on Soundclick.com - look for Below Average Dave, Kristof Robertson, Jeff Reuben, Merry and Pippin, Phil Alexander, Rick Cormier, Red Ant (with BAD) as well as many others that aren't coming to mind at the moment.

During the 60s and 70s the UK had a group called The Barron Knights. This group set the parody scene early on.
I am sorry I cannot produce any links, but please do Google Search.

There were some other parody artists in the 80s that were pretty much one hit wonders. Here's two of them that I can think of ...
Stutter Rap (No Sleep 'Til Bedtime) - Morris Minor and the Majors
(Parody of 'No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn' by Beastie Boys)
Boys Just Want to Have Sex - Exude
(Parody of 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' by Cyndi Lauper)
