In reply to Hugh J: everything by half man half biscuit?
Also, Newport State of Mind made me smile

In reply to Hugh J: Sad though it is, I really like Amish Paradise (take on Gangster's paradise) by Weird Al.

also like his version of American Pie

In reply to ripper: Oh yes, The Trumpton Riots!

Perhaps you need to be from South Wales to appreciate it

Even better since apparently J-Zee or whatever he's called through his dummy out the pram and refused to let them release it as single - W##ke

In reply to johnhowell:

another vote for this

funnily enough, goldie lookin chain didnt see the funny side of it, and released a spoof of the spoof, which was rather angry, not funny and not very good

cheers

The Fresh Prince of Cwmbran is also worth a look

In reply to Hugh J:

The estimable Mr B brings a little bit of Compton to the leafy avenues of Surrey...

In reply to Hugh J: Try a quick search for 'Key of Awesome' on youtube. They have done a lot of parodies of current pop songs, some better than others. My favourite is probably Bruno Mars 'Grenade' because it actually satirises the song rather than just replacing the lyrics with random funny stuff. They mostly only work if you know the song.

In reply to Hugh J:
There is a truely delightful version of Katy Perry "I kissed a Girl" by a gentleman from Essex which is very NSFW about losing a bet on a building site and having to pleasure a bricky.

In reply to Reach>Talent:

That has got to be Kunt and the Gang...

In reply to Clarence:
Well done sir!

In reply to Hugh J:

I've not heard that one but as soon as you said "bloke from Essex"...

In reply to Clarence:
I don't think it is as good as The Clegg and Cameron version of use my A as a C but it is rather chortle inducing. His royal wedding version of F**ksticks was also rather good.

In reply to no_more_scotch_eggs:

It's not too bad - youtube.com/watch?v=Dx8CZyFM4b4&

(I'm surprised the first one is back on youtube, Mr Zee, or whoever, got very upset).

In reply to Hugh J:
I bought this for a quid from oxfam or somesuch...has some good 'uns!

In reply to ripper:

HMHB don't do spoofs ! They are far more original than that.

In reply to Hugh J:
How about Grey Fluffy Clounds

In reply to Hugh J: "Meaningless songs" Heebeegeebees.

In reply to Wonko The Sane: Nice one Wonko!

Surprised no-one has mention Weird Al yet! Maybe too obvious?

This is my favourite of his:

What about the London Underground song?

In reply to Hugh J:

Third post of the thread mentions him.

In reply to Hugh J:

MC Pitman - Witness The Pitness

youtube.com/watch?v=fkC45z4UXVc&

In reply to Hugh J:

Although not exactly a spoof, "Bohemian Rhapsody" is partly a tongue-in-cheek "mock opera", according to Freddy Mercury himself. Anyway, it's a great contender for Best of its genre - whatever that is!

In reply to Chris Harris: So, it does and the Amish Paradise! Really should pay more attention!

In reply to John Stainforth: I see your point. In fact Queen did lots of "spoof" stuff around that time; Bring Back Leroy Brown, Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon, Seaside Rendezvous, Good Company, The Millionaire Waltz and Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy.

Similarly so did Van Halen in their early days:

In reply to Hugh J:
Dragging it back to climbing for a mo, I'll raise a glass to the legend that was Dr Tom Patey and nominate one of his songs: "Onward Christian Bonington". No sign of a recording on youtube, but you can find the lyrics here: http://www.ukclimbing.com/articles/page.php?id=1751 (scroll down)

In reply to Hugh J:

Big bottom - Spinal Tap

In reply to Hugh J: The devil went to Jamaica is great and has a cracking animation on utube

In reply to Hugh J:

Anyone remember the Hee-Bee-Gee-Bees "meaningless Songs (in very high voices)"?

Bad News at Donington was probably the highlight of my festival going life, despite being a spoof band.

In reply to Clarence:

Which brings me to Vim Fuego's later career in folkpunk...

youtube.com/watch?v=ZPYVu0Uxd1I&

In reply to Clarence: Hey, I was there too. Seriously funny and very well received. Vampire Spunk Merchants From Hell - probably the funniest thing I've ever seen!

In reply to Hugh J:
Hayseed Dixie do so fantastic blue grass covers of AC/DC and various other bands. They are also awesome to see live
Lots of videos on youtube

In reply to Clarence:


See my link above

In reply to Hugh J: youtube.com/watch?v=1y4aYPEtv8k&

never fails to make me laugh!

In reply to Oujmik: the key of awesome spoof of Gotye's ,somebody that I used to know, is good,
I was not a fan of the Gotye tune all that much but it struck a chord with a lot of people,
Here is the spoof.
