Best Youtube parodies - the best music on Youtube

There are enough sites recommending the hottest pop songs to listen to, so I'm not going to compile another list. We're familiar with popular music, sang by pop stars with familiar names, who ride in limos and wear million dollar outfits. Yet somehow, advertisers still manage to convince us that these pop stars have something in common with the rest of us, who don't have millions in our bank accounts and flawless bodies to boot. And so I reckon it's about time we exposed ourselves to music by ordinary people, for ordinary people.

It's still the same popular tunes you're familiar with, but with alternative viewpoints and storylines. Be ready to hear weird and wacky derivatives of your favourite songs.

1. You belong with me (Taylor Swift)
Parody by VenetianPrincess

In You belong with me, the nerdy & unpopular girl undergoes a ugly duckling to swan transformation at her school dance, where she walks in wearing a beautiful white dress, causing her crush to finally realize how beautiful she was all along.

Well, in this parody, our heroine similarly gets a beauty makeover. Except with one twist - she's a zombie. And her crush is too busy running away and hiding in the boy's bathroom to notice her inner beauty. Luckily, her dentist obviously has ways of changing her razor sharp teeth to normal looking ones, and after that transformation, her crush finally smiles at her instead of running away.

But there is a final twist - you'll have to watch it to fnd out. I guess it shows that no matter how much we try to change ourselves with the help of dentists and plastic surgeons, we still can't change who we are.


2. Your Love Is My Drug - Ke$ha
    Parody by 3shadeProductions
Instead of singing about being addicted to love like a drug (as Ke$ha did), this parody ditches the simile and is about being addicted to drugs. Instead of "your love is my drug", we've got "your drugs are my love".

3. Baby - Justin Bieber
Parody by davedays ft. Tay Zonday
To declare, at a tender age of 13, that you will never ever ever be apart from the love of your life is a little... intense. Apparently davedays thinks so too, and he shows us just how hilarious it is to propose to the love of your life and even think about names for your future children... when you can't even get your drivers license because you ain't old enough.

4. 7 Things - Miley Cyrus
Parody by davedays
The original 7 things is your typical love song. The parody is not. This is another absolutely hilarious parody by davedays that you gotta watch.

5. Rude boy - Rihanna
Parody by CollegeHumour
Since half of Rude Boy is a mantra of "Come here rude boy, boy, can you get it up?", it's only natural that the Rude Boy might be a little nervous about all that is expected of him. And so here is the Rude Boy's response.

6. Telephone - Lady Gaga
 Parody by barelypolitical
Well, I guess stars do get special treatment in prison. How else would Lady Gaga have gotten all her bizzare costumes (including matching glittering bras and panties with all the other inmates)?

I'm not surprised that Beyonce (in the parody) had to be forced into filming the wacky music video for Telephone - where they poisoned everyone, including a cute dog.
