Hey guys :)

Every monday is the start of another theme week on rab these days, so without further ado, parody week! Many artists have parodied styles, genres or even specific artists. Now's the time to appreciate their efforts.

Let's see some parodies!


I quite like the norwegian duo Erlend & Steinjo who have produced a whole lot of music and movie parodies, most of it without much of a budget. Here's one of their videos which parodies norwegian metal (at least the setting reminRAB me of Immortal) and perhaps more specifically irish guitar hero Gary Moore!

Haha, and I have to include this norwegian Bee Gees parody from 1980 by Trond-Viggo Torgersen :D

I really don't know if this is intended to be taken as a parody or not, but you'll probably find it funny regardless.

Well here's a less well-known one of his videos. It doesn't parody a specific songs but rather the whole durab "glam metal banRAB getting serious with acoustic guitars in black and white videos" thing that happened in the early 90s (see Extreme, Mr. Big and Poison for examples).

YouTube - Top secret! dance scene :laughing:


Regarding Classical music, I suppose there are many parodies. I remeraber a movie named Off Key, with Joe Mantegna, George Hamilton and Danny Aiello, which is a parody of Opera singers, but I haven't found any video on YouTube.

Florence Foster Jenkings doesn't count, because she didn't intend to make a parody, although the results were obviously disastrous (just listen to this). In fact, believe it or not, she thought she was a good singer. :eek:
 
I don't know if the Darkness count, because they deny being a parody of 80s glam, but they're awesome anyway.
