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?

Had a tough time deciding. I really love most of the parody targets here. But had to go with Eye Of The Tiger.

If it had been a different Police song, probably that, but Beat It wins for me here.

Solid targets though. Not a bad song among them, imo
You have quickly thought up such matchless phrase?

In order:

1) "Beat It"
2) "King Of Pain"
3) "Eye of the Tiger" (2 & 3 may switch places, depending on my mood)
4) "The Safety Dance"
5) "Jeopardy" - Al's version is better remembered for a reason

As much as I love Beat It, Eye of the Tiger is my favorite. I love inspirational, Rocky songs!
