My favorite already posted shopping parody is genius Joel Kopischke’s “Shopping Mall of Broken Dreams.”
Can Christmas shopping be super cool? Check out Benny Grunch and the Bunch nasally laying out the blues with the relaxed acceptance of professionals. “I Bought Presents” includes a bottle, baby.
Black Friday has been subsumed into the digital world and we can barely remember the frenzied line-standing anymore. Like who remembers Rebecca Black’s only hit from 2011? Ally Hills takes us back with “Black Friday.” Shopping as warfare.
“Shop Around” means something different to The Mistletones than it does to The Miracles. Go go go!
Dan and son team Meet the Bullens trick up Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’s hit to reach “Christmas Thrift Shop.” Goodwill to men.
The analogy of troubled waters is “Like a Snowman with Arthritis.” No snowmen are considered, only literary figures. Suffer along with Joe Soko’s folk lament (and his bird’s huge afro).
It probably didn’t happen. You just imagine it. You were drunk. “Man V. Snowman” is the country ballad of Marc Schaefgen snowball fighting an imaginary enemy. He loses.
Time to get down and get frosty. Plastic Snow imagines a whole band fronted by “Rock ‘n’ Rolling Snowman.” Rock, yes… but pretty pedestrian.
Alt rock worries Ratboy Jr. who can’t get rid of their “Never Melting Snowman.” Is there juicing? (Be advised of funny voices [incl. Bob Dylan bit].)
“Me & The Snowman” may be another imaginary friend (with John Wilkes Boothe), but this pop jingle from Logan Whitehurst & The Junior Science Club rocks the family folk ’70s demographic.
Unfortunate humor from Rankin/Bass. Their 1979 ‘Jack Frost’ stop motion Xmas special didn’t recapture lightning in a bottle (again)–even with the intro song from Buddy Hackett.
“I’m Your Baby (You’re a Snowman)” by Sequelcast parodies ‘Call Me Maybe’ and all other taste in the world by making the execrable Michael Keaton ‘Jack Frost’ horror/family/comedy into a musical. You’ll never be ready for this non-professional entry, so here goes
Shark Uppercut has an even better tale of the man into snow with “Alan Alda the Snowman.” This electronic soft pop even refers to itself as a novelty song. Love that meta!
Not every snowman is cause for celebration. “A Snowman Stole My Wife” gives Little Red Ambulance brief joy, then cold reality sets in. Funny country pop.
Angry from your shunning, TV’s Kyle gives you a faceful of “Snowman” with pop music malaise. Thanks for the mortality check, FuMP!
Uhh, one more Frosty parody. Or so.
Macchendra has gone to the trouble to play “Frosty the Snowman” backwards and attempted to transcribe the backmasked lyrics. Don’t do drugs!
Anti-frosty comes from the sad singing of Robert (‘Dr. Bob’) Blake who claims “Our Snowman wasn’t Frosty.” These kids had unrealistic body expectations from TV.
Chillaz’s “Clint Frostwood” pokes at their own ‘Clint Eastwood’ song. Hip hop happiness.
Asian Glow muscles up a Taylor Swift parody of ‘Trouble Trouble Trouble’ probably entitled: “Frosty Frosty Frosty.” Yes, funny.
Can we get cool for the kids? Snowman songs i can get behind.
Phranc wonders about the flexibility of the frosty one, i mean does the “Hanukkah Snowman” dress the part? Folk figure it out. Oh ho ho.
Frosty’s brother comes to us from South of the border. Lana Rae sings “Henry the Snowman” for the left out siblings.
Pop fun from Rosenshontz chanting out “Snowman” jazzy fun until you have to join in, or run.
Hip hop for the baby “Snowman” is as surprising as you’d think. RhapCD is in it for the young.
Uptempo jazz for the wee, “Mister Snowman” from Kathy Belmont and Michelle Amato grooves.
A highly fashionable song for the preschool rabble would be “Once There was a Snowman” as presented by Lori Ann Stewart. Very short, saccharine, and pithy. I mean, what’s the deal with the embedded lesson of All Things Die? Can’t kids just watch a Disney movie to learn that?
InsideOut A cappella has hit gold with their take off–a history of music odyssey entitled “Once There Were Some Snowmen.” A few years later they even added a isn’t-that-enough? sequel (i like it more) “In the Sun They Melted (Snowmen II).” This is for the kids, but it makes me happier than they.
Although from Adele’s 2015 album 25, the single was released in 2016… peaked at number five in the UK, number eight in the US and number 10 in Canada… the video received a nomination for Best Visual Effects at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards.
The girl sings so lovely everyone wants to imitate it. Can they make jokes in her range?
Aubrey Howell and friends add spirit to the humor with “Can’t It Wait ’til December?”
Britney Spears’s second single from her ninth studio album featured brass, marimba, “syncopated synths”, percussion and a horn section… an ode to fornication and making sex tapes… appeared on the national charts in countries including Canada, Spain, Scotland and the United States, where it debuted and peaked at number 86 on the Billboard Hot 100… topped the Dance Club Songs chart after several weeks.
Derrick Barry (w/Nebraska Thunderfuck and Adam Ramzi) stars in Adrian Anchondo’s slavish tribute “Christmas Party.” It’s about office party shenanigans with sexy backup dancers in the elevator hall.
Rachel Platten’s hit peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100… number one of the Adult Contemporary and Adult Pop Songs airplay charts… topped the charts in the United Kingdom… peaked within the top ten of the singles charts in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the Republic of Ireland and the top twenty of the charts in Slovakia… sold two million copies in the United States… double platinum.
The ode to vulnerability gets the Rudolph runaround with “Flight Song” by Katherine Durickas for Local Business Comedy.
The Bruno Mars/Mark Ronson song became a worldwide phenomenon with its major impact on pop culture… according to Billboard, it remains the biggest hit of the 2010s… spent 14 consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, seven non-consecutive weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart, and topped the charts in several other countries including Australia, Canada, France, Ireland and New Zealand… second best-selling single of 2015… one of the best-selling of all-time… won two Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year… 2.6 billion views YouTube making it the fifth most viewed YouTube video of all time. If Bruno Mars didn’t do so famous for the Mark Ronson wouldn’t be so many mockers mucking.
NOTE: Some of the home grown attempts are fun for family, but incomprehensible. Let’s skim off some creme…
(Don’t judge: watch the Byl Family with “‘Uptown Funk’ Holiday Parody” and you tell me you want to see twelve worse versions.)
Chris Carmona takes a very long coupl’a minutes of skit to get after his greedy spoiled targets with “North Pole Funk!” C’mon, let’s GO!
Long Island’s WBLI funnymen go a bit faster if not any funnier with another “North Pole Funk.” Nice alcoholic outro, tho.
Is it the song that inspires insipidity? High Society feels the spirit with “Uptown Funk–Christmas Daddies Version” for a telethon, but i can’t charitably share the fun. It’s like a musical exercise. B+
Amelia Carella of Paromedy mumbles up “I’m St. Nick” to remind you what a badass the gifted be. Hot Damn! Believe!
Dan Taylor brings the parody with Playa Santer in “Santa Funk.” Uh hunh. I’m deckin’ i’m trekkin’ i’m wreckin’. Uh hunh.
