I’m somewhat older than the median DCUM age, so my answer skews older, but this is my all time favorite parody song ever:
|
| Anything Weird Al |
Lol. Agree’d 100%. Also “Squid Game.” https://youtube.com/watch?v=vWdHPMhy270&feature=share |
| Weird Al “The Saga Begins” |
|
As Pp’s have said Weird Al.
I also really like Randy Rainbow. Separately, while not strictly counting as parody (and I don’t think the Gilligan’s Island example counts as parody either), I’d suggest Spike Jones similarly adapted songs for humorous effect. Also of note: Ray Stevens - The Mississippi Squirrel Revival Jeannie C. Riley - Harper Valley PTA MTA - Kingston Trio Allan Sherman - Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah Johnny Cash - One Piece at a Time |

Tom Lehrer wrote original music for most of his songs, but here's a classic parody of his:

I love all Weird Al songs, but my favorite is "White and Nerdy"
I relate to way too many of the cultural touchpoints despite not being white. Nerdy must be it's own race.
I have major love for Donny Osmond totally getting into his role in the background. |
This is a video of them doing take #1 and you can see Osmond's full dance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vq6OncN6_Fo |
| It's a tie between White and Nerdy, and Amish Paradise. Weird Al is a national treasure. |
| Just Eat It |

Hilarious parody of O Fortuna from Misheard Lyrics:
|
| No Pigeons (rebuttal to TLC's No Scrubs). Hilarious. Mean, but hilarious. |
