‘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.

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.

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.

Rebecca Black, ‘Behind The Music’ Parody on Funny Or Die – Hilarious!

Poor Rebecca Black.

The website Funny or Die did a great parody of the infamous VH1 “Behind the Music” called “Betwixed The Music” and this week’s target – “Friday” singer Rebecca Black.

In this classic comedic parody, the video showcases her “Rise to fame” and then her tragic downfall and untimely death from the dark side of success.

One girl, with one song, about one day…. The road was not easy. After hours of struggle, she finally hit the big time.

Leave it to FunnyOrDie to pick up on this terrible 15 minutes of fame. There is even a cameo from Van Halen front man Sammy Hager.

Black tells in her own words about what happened when the dark side of fame came knocking on her door.

The parties where she was offered the hard stuff - Pixy Stix, Tootsie Rolls, late night parties, and the one time Jay Leno offered her a Werther’s Original.

Oh the shame, the agony, the pity, and the tragedy that was Rebecca Black. We only wish this whole mess was just an April fool’s joke.
