Okay, another one I've come to from a parody (you'll have to wait for today's grand finale to see which one that is...) Can I admit to you that I really don't like the original - at all?!
Thrift Shop - by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
(Language warning)
It could have been a good song, but the constant language is a huge turn-off to me - I really couldn't bear to listen to the whole thing because of that.
However, that hasn't stopped me finding some great parodies of it!
Today's only cover comes from someone I've been listening to for awhile now, but hasn't been featured here before.
Thrift Shop - cover by Lindsey Stirling & Tyler Ward
They've cleaned up the language and made the whole thing tolerable. Of course, it's hard to argue with their fiddling talent!
This next one is just cute - and so true!
Gift Shop - by CollegeHumor
(Language warning)
Unfortunately, they did not choose to clean up the language, but it's still worth a listen.
If you've ever come back with too much "junk" from a gift shop, you'll understand the truthfullness of this!
I just love this next parody.
Ranching Awesome - by Farmer Derek Klingenberg
Although the lyrics aren't perfect to the tune/original, it's very good - and speaks to so many farmers/ranchers across the country.
For my WTF category today, I have this very odd one:
Deer Tags - by Deuces Wild Dueling Piano
(try saying that one three times fast!)
So crazy and hilarious!
This brings me to my Grand Finale for the day!
Featured before and will be featured again before long:

Sherlock Parody - by the Hillywood Show
I like how (as usual), they feature elements of both the original video and the TV show.
