Parodies: Sometimes Good! Sometimes Bad!

Ever heard of a "parody"?

A "parody" is like a remake version of a song by fans, not by the artist themselves.
I'd been listening to a lot of English songs these days.
Some artists are simply...... Astonishing!

Such as Jason Derulo, Iyaz, Alicia Keys, Ke$ha, Lady Gaga(In some ways), Timbaland, Adam Lambert, Kris Allen and so much more.

They sang nice songs, I mean REALLY nice songs that I would listen to them for about 5 times a day but never get bored of them.

Though there were still singers that SUCKED! I mean, they just simple SUCKED.

Such as Paramore (Which I'll discuss next time)

Even though I did not really like Rock music, but even those rock bands like Muse and OneRepublic sounded sooooooooooo much better than Paramore.
To put it in one line: Paramore sucks! Sucks like hell!

(Ahem) Back to the topic.
Since I have so many songs that I like, I'm always interested in some fan-made cover of those songs, so I just went to YouTube and typed:





then I get:




WHOA! A whole bun'cha search results.
So I'd just go and listen to the first one.
(The "Glitter Puke - Key of Awesome" one)
And guess what? It is pretty nice, as some of the comments said that it is "Better than Original"

For those of you who are interested, the video is right here:

And there are still a few more that is nice, such as:

Owl City - Fireflies (Parody - Ikea)

Wonder Girls - Nobody (Parody - Wash Your Hands Too)

Taylor Swift - Love Story (Parody - Space Story)

I hope the three parodies above will give you song entertainment.
Now I will share with you the WORST PARODY I'd ever heard in my life, and it was like 10 Billion miles away from the original song.

Let me share some opinions of mine on this so-called, "song":
Linkin Park - New Divide (Parody - no title)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzMojMYu2y8


The singer is HORRIBLE, I'd give him an F or even Z (if the ranks even go that far) for his singing skills. He cannot control his pitch and tries to use fake voice
to "lift" his voice to the peak (1:22/2:35 in the video). OH MY GOSH! Such a good song is changed by him into a TOTAL CATASTROPHE!!!!!!!!!!

He also 走音走到爆! I will say WTF for that. Now onto the lyrics, the lyrics was poorly written. An originally 5-word sentence was changed into a 7-word "rap", and the pieces does not fit. And I think that "kid" was very hungry during the production cause a whole lotta lyrics was changed into FOOD!!!!!

Example:


Original: I remembered black skies, the lighting all around me...
Parody: I remembered good steak, the burgers all around me...


Original: I remembered each flash, as time began to purge...
Parody: I remembered each bite, as juice began to drip...

You can say WTF now, but wait till you see the rest...


Original: So give me reason, to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean...
Parody: So give me salad, to top each bread, to wash my dirty hands clean...

Original: Give me reason, to fill this hole, connect the space within...
Parody: Give me fork~, to eat this hole, savor this sweet goodness...


Original: Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies, across this new divide!
Parody: Let it melt~~~~ in your mouth~~~~, the sweet and sour~~~~~, inside this new diner!

So as WTF now, I'm enough of comparison, continuing this (insert rude word) is a complete waste of my time. Those comparisons are for entertainment purposes.

P/S: Next time I'll rant on my hate of Paramore, cause IT really SUCKED!

Here are some pictures of the "hungry kid":
