‘Glee’ Cast Covers Rebecca Black’s ‘Friday’ – Video

Leave it to the cast of “Glee” to break social norms.

This Tuesday night will be no different.

In an episode titled “Prom Queen”, the cast of “Glee” will take on "Dancing Queen" from Abba, "Rolling in the Deep" from Adele, and "Isn't She Lovely" from Stevie Wonder.

But the big news is they will also be doing a revamped version of the now infamous Rebecca Black song “Friday”.

Black released her version of “Friday” last month and the world flat out laughed it into fame - not because it was good, but because it was bad. So very very bad.

It was so bad that Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert used it in a parody duet on Jimmy’s show after Colbert lost a bet.

And the website FunnyorDie did a “Behind the Music” parody that is one of the funniest pieces I’ve ever seen.

But the “Glee Cast” actually nailed the song with their revised up-tempo version. I can actually imagine driving down the road with the windows open singing along with the beat. Okay, not really.

Britney Spears has Fans in The U.S Marines and they can dance like her!



COURTESY OF YAHOO.COM

Usually the most impressive lip dub videos on the web feature fancy production values and epically choreographed camera work. But since the U.S. Marines stationed in Afghanistan don't have a ton to work with and they're a wee bit busy trying not to get blown up, their new clip set to Britney Spears' "Hold It Against Me" is mostly built on heart. And Spears, for one, is totally feeling it. "I am in LOVE with this," Britney tweeted last night with a YouTube link. "I always knew our soldiers were fierce! Thanks for everything you guys do."


While the soldiers' willingness to boogie in fatigues to the song's dubstep breakdown indicates true Spears fandom, their inability to spell her name correctly ("Music by Brittney Spears") suggests their copy of Femme Fatale may have been baking in the desert sun a little too long. Big ups to the guy at the 1:00 mark who starts to strip off his jumpsuit and threatens to krump, the hip-swishing duo at 1:15 who keep the energy up between verses, and all the awesome lady Marines who bring a little extra commitment to their parts. If we said we almost preferred this to the song's official video, would you...


Please do repost this story on Facebook, Twitter or other websites, we would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much!

Weird Al Yankovic Covers Lady Gaga With ‘Perform This Way’ Parody - Video

We all know Weird Al Yankovic.

You either love him or hate him.

Weird Al has proven you can be successful by covering some of the most influential songs of our times – in parody.

But now he has truly shown us just how weird, and boring he really is.

After a public dispute where Al accused Gaga’s camp of denying permission to parody her tune “Born this Way”, he has taken his talents to YouTube with a parody titled “Perform this way”.

We now understand that Al has received permission and the whole thing was a misunderstanding - or marketing ploy?

Anyway, we’ve heard a lot of Weird Al stuff in the past and have to say – Al, you phoned this one in.

Yea, it’s a parody of Lady Gaga “Born this Way” – but Yankovic is unable to bring any of the Gaga emotion and it just sounds flat. Not anything new, or close to the days of his Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” spoof.

Al plans the use the Gaga single on his new album due in June.

Watch/Listen to Weird Al Cover Lady Gaga “Born This Way”


Really? Do we really need another Weird Al Yankovic album? There is only so much Al that I can take.

Funny Or Die on the other hand knows how to produce parody. The video below is a movie trailer for the "Weird: The Al Yankovic Story"



Now that’s how you do good parody.

Mikey Bustos: Pinoy This Way [Lady Gaga Parody]


Fun, witty with a twist of Pinoy heart Parody version of Lady Gaga's Born this way

Coutesy of: MikeyBustosVideos


PINOY THIS WAY



Lyrics:

It doesn't matter if your Pinay or if you're P-I-N-O-Y.
Just point with your lips, pare
'cause we're pinoy this way, baby.
Use your eyes... If it was snake it bit you already!

My Momma scolded me when I was young, when I said I hated school. She said "You know the land where we come from, every class is always full." Because in Philippines education is never taken for granted, no it's not, along with food, work, and medication, we know they all come from God.

Back home, a land far away,
Where we work hard every day, 
It makes us grateful, baby
We're pinoy this way
Where you will need pamaypay
As temperature rises high
You have not lived 'till you live like a pinoy this way.

Nothing ever goes to waste,
Appreciate, don't throw away
Baby, we're pinoy this way!
Say my prayers everyday,
Bless to all the elderly,
We always say "po" cuz
We're pinoy this way.

Don't mean to brag, it's Philippines,
We're Ricivores, it's in our genes,
Model for Bench, I want to be
My mom said no, and palo'ed me

Our culture's full of diversity,
We're waving the red, white, yellow, and blue
Tagalog, Ibanag, Kapamgpangan
And Ilolano are my roots.
Whether you are in the provinces
or in the Capitol Manila, hey-hey
You'll find we're all the same deep down inside,
Pinoy tayo! and Mabuhey!
It's mabuhay

Think traffic here makes you curse?
Well, in Manila it's worse,
But we still show respect baby, we're pinoy this way 
I take jeepney cuz it's fast,
Calesa uses no gas,
I drive a tricycle, baby
I'm pinoy this way

Use a rope to tie the knot
Touch the Tarsiers better not
Baby, we're pinoy this way
Play pusoy to win the pot,
Sabong, kawawa naman,
So pick the right cock, baby
We're pinoy this way.

Pretty pinays, and strong pinoys
Have dancing feet, a pretty voice,
We're everywhere, the world is ours,
We have sarsi drink, NO not sars!
With many capabilities, lots like Imelda's shoe galleries,
Just stand up proud and say today,
Mabuhay! Yun - pinoy this way!

We have white rice on our plate, San miguel beer, balut egg, and chicharon bulaklak, cuz we're pinoy this way
We eat vinigar with fruit, use spoon and fork to eat food, we're saving some for baon, we're pinoy this way.

We take our sapatos off,
And put our chinellas on,
But watch the host say, "Waaaggg, put your shoes back on!"
Cuz we're pinoy this way
Whether we're black, white, or beige,
Yes we are orient-made,
We come in different looks and colours
We're pinoy this way

I can ride a calabaw,
Noone can beat Pacquiao,
Baby, we're pinoy this way
CR's at the megamall
Don't have toilet seat at all
Visit the skating rink,
Inside the mall you can skate. 

When she turns 16 we do,
Cotillion and a debut,
Oh, and again two years later
We're pinoy this way
From tinikling with bamboo
To videoke with you
Today we're celebrating,
Being a pinoy this way

Same DNA
We're Pinoy this way
Long spanish name
We're Pinoy this way

Charlie Sheen Uploads Parody Video of His Infamous 20/20 Interview

Charlie Sheen is at it again.

The “Torpedo of Truth” Messiah, Charlie Sheen, has graced us Earthlings with new words of proverbial tiger wisdom that only Trolls can deny are truth… or something like that…

Sheen took directors liberties with an original cut of his now infamous 20/20 interview on ABC last month. He spliced in repeated catch phrases, jokes, bizarre costume changes, and all around “you should have stopped after the first one”.

Oh yea, Sheen also sticks cigarettes up his nose and in his ears and blows smoke through his nose, and performs synchronized swimming with his bro-friends. Seriously, I’m not making that up - really.

The video first appeared during his live show in Detroit where it was not received well.

You be the judge:
