No Pigeons (rebuttal to TLC's No Scrubs). Hilarious. Mean, but hilarious.

It's a tie between White and Nerdy, and Amish Paradise. Weird Al is a national treasure.

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.

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
