A moment for the mimetic. Can a parody survive scrutiny by dropping the F-bomb into serious song? Let’s find out.
Big deal songwriter (Katy Perry collaborator) Bonnie McKee does just this with “Have Yourself a Merry Fucking Christmas.” See if you can slip this into shared ipod rotation at work during the holidays.
Upbeat (near metal) parody “I %!S#ing Hate This Winter Wonderland” lip serves the original with some punk posturing.
More comically, John Ploskina kvetches “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Fuck This.” Less family whiney, more apocalypso, Justin Libigs of Relatively Haunted does this twist wicked.
“Who the Fuck is Emanuelle?” by Circus Pig! only reinterprets a classic hymn with industrial raspy rock. But, you gotta admit… that’s novel.
