Best Parody Target

Post by TMBJon »

Forgetting about the now well-known Weird Al parodies, which of these five original songs do you actually like the most?

In 1983, these were all "modern" songs, but they're all classics now. The one I like the most is "Another One Bites the Dust".

Another batch of solid choices, I don't think there's a bad one in the bunch.

Gotta go with Queen, though. Definitely.
You have quickly thought up such matchless phrase?

My rankings (best to worst):
1) "Another One Bites The Dust"
2) "I Love Rock N Roll"
3) "My Sharona" (2 & 3 are somewhat interchangeable, depending on my mood)
4) "Mickey"
5) "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around"

I like Queen as much as the next guy, but I went with Joan Jett.

I love 'I Love Rocky Road'. It's just so fun to head bang to.
