Example of Parody

When we discussed parodies in class the other day, immediately Weird Al came to mind. If you don't already know who he is, he's a guy who bases all his music off of other songs that have been written, and just changes the lyrics in a very humorous way. One of my favorite parodies that he does is off of the song "American Pie," but he changes the title to "The Saga Begins" following after the theme of Star Wars. You kind of have to know the Star Wars background to get all the clever and comical references, but even if not he still puts on a good show. :)


What are some of your favorite parodies (i.e. music, books, articles, movies, SNL skits...)?
