(I don't know why it keeps double spacing everything but I'm just going to go with it at this point.)


I guess the best part of this parody is how diverse it is from Madonna's actual song "Like a Virgin."


Weird Al commonly takes a popular song and maintains the melody but changes the meaning, such as in his song "Amish Paradise" which is a parody of "Gangsta's Paradise."

The picture following it's of an Amish

"speed wagon" In a line of race cars. In order to understand the humor Someone would have to know that Amish shun electronics and anything high-tech. The idea of a horse drawn wagon competing against race cars isn't very realistic but that's what makes it funny,

Lastly is Robin Hood Men in Tights. A movie with mole moving, sex driven and completely silly humor to it. In the scene the men display how important it really is that all men do wear tights, and how masculine they really are.

  1. Weird Al is the master of parody! Is he still making videos. The one I remember that was so hilarious was his parody of Michael Jackson's Beat It song. Weird Al's was Eat It and he did such a funny parody of Michael Jackson's dance moves.
