It's been a couple of weeks since I had parodies for you. Thanks to the Peterson Farm Brothers on YouTube, I've got an earworm to share with you today.
Here is the original
Gangnam Style from Psy
Odd song, odd video, but strangely compelling... especially if you write parody.
London Style - presented by mokim
To me, this is more of a cover, than a parody. Saying that, I don't understand Korean, so the lyrics could be changed and I'd never know!
But I know London, so I appreciate this version, done very true to the original video, just transposed to England.
Another one that is almost a cover - and well done at that!
Minecraft Style - from CaptainSparklez
This one is extremely well done - well-written, well choreographed and very true to the original video. Good to see some high-quality Minecraft music.
Now, to the one that brought me here today.
Farmer Style - by Peterson Farm Brothers
These guys do a great job with the vocals, the lyrics and the dancing. Worth a watch - support your farmer!
A very funny parody that is very well done...
Klingon Style - by Comediva
The video is very well done, with plenty of mimics of the original video. As for lyrics... TlhIngan Sov vay'? (Apparently, that means: "Anyone know Klingon?")
But, as much as that made me laugh, it didn't make me say WTF as much as the next one...
Today's WTF (did I just watch) selection...
Irish Paddy Style - by Paddyman - and filmed in Dubai of all places!
This is just so weird that it's funny and worth a watch!
Bonus selection.
I did the other half (Good Time) of this mashup a few weeks ago, but it's so good, that it's worth repeating for the Gangnam Style half of it.
Good Time Gangnam Style Mashup - presented by MikeRossM
I feature this one (again) because it really is an excellent mashup - something I'm not normally a fan of.
I hope you enjoyed this foray.
As usual, all the videos are from YouTube, and are shared with an educational/music discovery purpose.
