Here's another song where I really don't like the original. The lyrics smart of someone that I would not want to be friends with, so it really does lose me, but for the sake of this musical foray, I include it here.
'IDOL' (방탄소년단) - Official MV - by BTS
Despite the lyrics, it's a fun and colorful video that has challenged many people to imitate.
This is almost a cover, not really a parody.
LEGO BTS 방탄소년단 IDOL by SuperLego Life
I don't usually include one where they use the original track, but I really enjoyed the attention to detail they had for the original video, all in Lego! Yeah, I'm impressed by the amount of work, and they really did a good job.
My best cover for today. I love these guys for their inventiveness.
Idol - presented by Sam Tsui, Megan Lee, and Kurt Hugo Schneider.
Not quite a capella, but a lot of fun with their various instruments - often just a pair of scissors or a zipper! Great vocals and good blending of tracks. I really enjoyed this cover - probably more than the original.
Parodies
Here is your WTF selection for the day.
BTS -'SPICY' IDOL PARODY presented by Elizabeth Gomez
This one really falls short on vocal quality, but I included it because of its original take on the song - the people not sharing the candy really struck me as funny and strangely appropriate for the original song.
Here is one of my favorite parodies of the day.
Disney BTS IDOL (방탄소년단): English Cover presented by Michelle Osorio Dare to Dreamer
Their vocals are good, their lyrics great and their costumes very fun! It was a good idea that was well carried out and I hope you give them a listen.
Grand Finalé
Again, it was a parody that brought me here. This time it was from Bad Lip Reading.
"SAMPLE OF MY PASTA" - presented by Bad Lip Reading
I love the catchy tune (very different from the original) - and the lyrics are a lot of fun. If you've never listened to Bad Lip Reading, you're in for a real treat!
That's it for today! I hope you had as much fun as I did!
As usual, I'm simply sharing YouTube videos on a theme, all rights remain with the original.
