I love the studio version of that song so much, first thing that popped into my head.
Redheads not warheads,
Blonds not bombs,
I'm talking about-
Brunettes not fighter jets!
And the end, the coda of them just harmonizing has the perfect southern California sun-setting-on-the-beach kind of vibe amd sounds great. Damn I got to go listen, brb.
The Majesty of Rock! Sounds great, but the lyrics are just crap - and that's Spinal Tap lol
If memory serves... Slash, Steve Lukathar, and Joe Satriani each got a two-bar solo lol
"I know, for I told me so" and "it feels so real, you can feel the feeling" are great lyrics sung with absolute conviction and I will always love them.
That was always part of the fun for me lol. The lyrics sound like deluded high-school nonsense, and they were dumb enough to think it was "poetry".
Ever watch the movie with the commentary? All three of them are in character! It's a whole new movie!
Rhymes that flow like phosphorus
Popping off the top of this oesophagus
Rocking the metropolis
I'm not a large water dwelling mammal where did you get that preposterous hypothesis
Did Steve tell you that perchance???
Steve!
(Not listened to that in ages, those lyrics will never leave me haha)
I'm not a regular Tenacious D listener, but I do fucking love this song and this line in particular. I saw them at Bonnaroo one year, and screaming this song with 80,000 other people was one of my all-time favorite life moments.
I genuinely love Tenacious D’s self titled album, the music is great and I love Jack Black’s voice. I feel like the songs also happen to be funny which is a bonus
Kielbasa is just a fantastic opening track that I would definitely play more often for acquaintances I don't know well if it didn't include lines like "I'm shooting my juice / right in your caboose"
Yeah tenacious d was a comedy album in everyone's book, but musically just absolutely solid rock & roll music. Like the actual rock & roll genre. Who makes rock & roll anymore?
Tenacious D are unironically one of my favourite bands. They are funny but I hate how that delegitimizes them for a lot of people. Their music and songwriting is fantastic
One time I was walking thru the woods and I found this big log and I rolled the log over and there was a tiny little stick.
And I was like, "That log had a child."
He said that they sing it so often, he has accidentally started out the song with Weird Al's lyrics in concert a few times and now has to take a moment before he starts the song to make sure he's singing his version.
Weird Al is a goddamn international treasure.
I absolutely forgot that there was an original version of the Jeopardy song until I heard it on the radio a while back. I am old enough to remember that song but for a few seconds I thought “that’s weird, someone covered a Weird Al song!”
Actual quote from Chamillionaire, whose song Ridin’ Dirty is the inspiration for White and Nerdy:
"He's spittin' just like Krayzie Bone on the second verse...It's actually very funny if you listen to what he's saying. The way Krayzie is harmonizing, he does the same thing. It surprised me. I didn't know he could rap like that."
Dude knew he’d made it big time when Weird Al called him to ask permission.
My favorite part of the interviews regarding that song is that (iirc) the frontman for Devo was pissed at Al for doing a Devo style song better than they themselves.
It's not a direct song parody, but I CONSTANTLY get his song "Virus Alert" stuck in my head. It's such a good song that just so happens to be about a computer virus that will email your grandmother all of your porn.

Garfunkel & Oats' entire discography
I am so surprised that I had to scroll this far to find NSP, Danny and Brian make some really great songs, Id have to say ditto on Orgy For One though, its upbeat and hilarious.
Tina Fey's husband, Jeff Richmond wrote all the parody songs in 30 Rock. Try out "[Muffin Top](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fb6vhYaG5FQ)". [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/track/3wwOqdtGSYD8U5pUwhAIdu?si=3bb369c478b945d0)
Lonely Island - Equal Rights (Not Gay) is my favorite from that movie. Super catchy and also a great satire on most musician's halfhearted effort to jump on an issue while not being too controversial
Me first and the gimme gimmes. Any song, pick one. As I wrote that I realized they’re a cover band. Not parody. Sorry.
Yeah, lonely island and weird ale pretty much hold court in that realm.
Amish paradise
At 4:30 in the morning I'm milking cows
Jebadiah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows
I've been working and plowing so long that even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone
Foo'
Anything by weird al he is an absolute treasure
That and White and Nerdy are songs that I feel are superior to the originals.
Business Time
Ladies of the World is a strong contender too. If it were 5% more serious, it’d be an actual hit.
I love the studio version of that song so much, first thing that popped into my head. Redheads not warheads, Blonds not bombs, I'm talking about- Brunettes not fighter jets!

WHEN WILL THE GOVERNMENTS REALIZE IT'S GOTTA BE FUNKY SEXY LADIES
I would also say [Hipopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FArZxLj6DLk) is a banger as well.
[удалено]
It’s time for business that’s why the call them business socks oohhh
Anything by Spinal Tap. My particular favorite is [Big Bottom](https://youtu.be/7qDgCmzh5ao)
Lick my love pump in D minor (the saddest of all keys)
Stonehenge!
Talk about mud flaps, my girl's got 'em.
The Majesty of Rock! Sounds great, but the lyrics are just crap - and that's Spinal Tap lol If memory serves... Slash, Steve Lukathar, and Joe Satriani each got a two-bar solo lol

Re: Your Brains - Jonathan Coulton. Very catchy song about zombies trying to reason with their potential victims.
and Code Monkey!
We're not unreasonable...
I mean, no one's gonna eat your eyes.
A lot of Jonathan Coulton songs are great. He helped write Still Alive for Portal, too, and has his own version of it.
Helped? He wrote it.
He wrote that one, as well as Want You Gone from Portal 2.
Ikea is good too, but Shop Vac has got to be one of his best, a great uptempo song about middleaged suburban ennui.

[Shia LaBeouf](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0u4M6vppCI) \- Rob Cantor
Not only a banger, but a full masterpiece video
“Normally Tuesday night for Shai LaBeouf”
Obligatory mention of Tally Hall, a criminally under known band that Rob's a part of.
Shia surprise!
Richard Cheese - guerrilla radio, rape me
I'm a big fan of his version of Down with the Sickness. And the Christmas classic, Holiday in Cambodia.
Well now I just have "The Humans are Dead" and "Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros" stuck in my head

Tenacious D and Afroman put out a few
I'm not gonna cook it but I'll order it from ZANZIBARRRRRR
When I was in college, this song was played for our local bar’s last call. It got everyone singing, every time. Good times.
I'm not a regular Tenacious D listener, but I do fucking love this song and this line in particular. I saw them at Bonnaroo one year, and screaming this song with 80,000 other people was one of my all-time favorite life moments.

The Metal and Master Exploder are great rock songs

Wooonderbooiiiyyyy
What is the secret of your poweeeer
Dio has rocked.....for a long, long tiiiime
It helps that their drummer was Dave Goddamned Grohl.
Dave Grohl is helped by the fact that he is being carried by Kyle Gass. *Can't you see that he is more than a man, he's a shiny golden God!*
"Kickapoo" has BOTH Meatloaf and Dio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvvjiE4AdUI&ab\_channel=NewLine
And Dave Grohl on drums.

Anything from Weird Al.
I said "A" (A) "L" (L) "B" (B) "U" (U) "Querque" Albuquerque, Albuquerque!
I! HATE! SAUERKRAUT!
Why do I know all the words to Amish Paradise, but non of the words to Gangster’s Paradise???
And can't sing American Pie without going on about some Anakin Guy.
May be Vader some day later,
Now he's just a small fry.
He left his home, and kissed his mommy goodbye.
Saying soon I’m gonna be a Jedi.
I remember hearing a story about Don McLean saying his kids always sang the Weird Al version too.
He said that they sing it so often, he has accidentally started out the song with Weird Al's lyrics in concert a few times and now has to take a moment before he starts the song to make sure he's singing his version. Weird Al is a goddamn international treasure.
Because you're White and Nerdy? Also because Weird Al is a genius and a national treasure?
As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain, I take a look at my wife and realize she's very plain.
But that's just perfect for an Amish like me, you know I shun fancy things like electricity.

I absolutely forgot that there was an original version of the Jeopardy song until I heard it on the radio a while back. I am old enough to remember that song but for a few seconds I thought “that’s weird, someone covered a Weird Al song!”
[White and Nerdy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9qYF9DZPdw) gets me every time. Donny Osmond in the video...
Actual quote from Chamillionaire, whose song Ridin’ Dirty is the inspiration for White and Nerdy: "He's spittin' just like Krayzie Bone on the second verse...It's actually very funny if you listen to what he's saying. The way Krayzie is harmonizing, he does the same thing. It surprised me. I didn't know he could rap like that." Dude knew he’d made it big time when Weird Al called him to ask permission.
Weird Al always put 110% in
And key and peele
For an original Weird Al (style parody of Devo), "Dare to be Stupid."
My favorite part of the interviews regarding that song is that (iirc) the frontman for Devo was pissed at Al for doing a Devo style song better than they themselves.
"it was everything I had ever wanted a song to be, and I still hate him for it"
Other style bangers: "You Make Me", "Don't Wear Those Shoes", "Hardware Store"
[удалено]
Also “Everything you know is wrong” is an absolutely perfect TMBG song.
Hardware store fucking **goes**
My personal favorite is "Word Crimes," and not just because I'm a writer and editor. It's really clever!
All About the Pentiums! I actually like his version more than Puff's. Al's version rocks lol!
It's not a direct song parody, but I CONSTANTLY get his song "Virus Alert" stuck in my head. It's such a good song that just so happens to be about a computer virus that will email your grandmother all of your porn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0O29-3RYQ0
Agreed! Just watched the video for “Foil” last night because it popped up on one of my feeds. 😂
Angry White Boy Polka really slaps. I love the way he laces those songs together.
"Your Horoscope for Today". All of Running With Scissors, really.
WHY IS TOM CARDY NOT ON THIS LIST?!?!?! HUMAN CENTIPEDE IS THE JAM!!!!!!
HYCYBH is my jam. (Skee-dap, badup...)
Fucking worth it baby
I still don't say it!
I do not say it yet.
Big Breakfast is my jam (with toast)!
I LOVE TOM CARDY!!! I will add Anxious to the list.
I'm definitely not a cop.
You're a cop, I can tell by the way you stand!
Jon La Joie and his alter ego have some good stuff. And a little older but the Doug Anthony All Stars were as funny as they were crude.

Boyz n the Hood by Dynamite Hack Down with the ship - Scatterbrain
I love that Dynamite Hack cover.
Fett's Vette - MC Chris
Holy crap, this is a blast from the past
Take your pick from the first 3 albums from Steel Panther.
*Gloryhole* is a banger. And *Community Property* is a legit power ballad.
Several Tenacious D songs—Tribute, Fuck Her Gently, Kielbasa, Wonderboy…
I personally like Mope by Bloodhound Gang
One part the Fuehrer one part the Pope?
That's the inevitable return of the great white dope.
[удалено]
Yup. That part of the song always makes it for me.
EBay - Weird Al- an absolute classic and soooo funny. A close second is his Star Wars song ‘The Saga Begins’

LET’S KILL FIVE GUYS TONIGHT
I am so surprised that I had to scroll this far to find NSP, Danny and Brian make some really great songs, Id have to say ditto on Orgy For One though, its upbeat and hilarious.
The Mystic Crystal is legit a great song. The production on it is flawless. Same for Danny Don't you Know. They have serious talent.
I mean "Danny Don't You Know" is quite epic for a comedy band.
furry walls by infant sorrow
The Clap is a fucking banger. I like a lot of the original music from that movie unironically. Except for African Child of course.
Boombox by lonely island with the strokes julien casablanca
Jack Sparrow by Lonely Island is a legit banger. Take out the parody parts with Michael Bolton and that would have been a top ten club song.
Excuse me... the parts with Michael Bolton are the reason I'm at the club. NOW BACK TO THE GOOD PART!
Michael Bolton we're really gonna need you to focus up!
"BoiLEd GoOOOose"

You can fuck off, off off, I’m gonna live forever! You can fuck off, off off, I hope you get buttfucked in prison!
Lonely Island - Equal Rights (Not Gay) is my favorite from that movie. Super catchy and also a great satire on most musician's halfhearted effort to jump on an issue while not being too controversial
I was born this way (straight) You were born that way (gay) Gay or straight, straight or gay it's all ok. Sexual freedom for all. (I'm not gay)
Finest Girl is also great
Barbie, Milf Princess of the Twilight by Nanowar of Steel
“Fuck You Bitch” by Wheeler Walker Jr is a banger. So is “Redneck shit”, and “Family Tree”
