"Suck me off if you want to, you can suck me from behind" is probably the newest popular one I hear a lot.
why's it always sex? clearly there isn't anything interesting to talk about.

You can’t even use 5 seconds of a song’s instrumentals without getting DMCA’d to hell on YouTube.
All the stuff roasting Thick of it

The video of White and Nerdy with Donnie Osmond dancing is peak music video production. The song is funny too
My mexican ass still has this song almost memorized from top to bottom.
I miss Weird Al.
I'm not too knowledgeable about him, but he's still alive, isn't he? Like is he less popular nowadays?
He's just not producing anything new.
I stand corrected?
Idk about new music but he’s on tour, he’s playing in my city this fall
Oh :(
Last parody I remember is thick of it 🥀🥀
There aren't many songs directly ripping on another, but there are plenty of intentionally bad songs. Look at Yuno Miles.
Weird Al has stated it's because music tastes are so fractured. Everyone's in their own little bubble, which is good that people have found what they like, but it makes it hard to make a parody when everyone's listening to different songs.
Rascal by RMR you're welcome
"I'm good and I'm feeling alright"
That and "anxiety"
There are more AI tools music companies use to stop people from releasing them

Weird Al needs to come back
Either "Why Did I Say Okie Dokey" by Stupendium, which used the beats of "Just the Two of Us" or a parody of Judas called "Douchebag" where they were singing about a guy a girl should avoid.
Or.... Maybe "Tacky" by Weird Al, it's hard to tell if that came before or after Douchebag.
It has been actual years since a song took over and got super popular. I was just thinking about that the other day. I've never been a music person, most of my playlist is from Guitar Heroes 1-3, but the really popular stuff found it's way to me on the radio or commercials or the store radio or whatever.
Now it is all just the same stuff that caught fire like 10 years ago.

Weird Al is on record saying that a lot of this is due to the reduced number of songs that one can count on basically everyone knowing.
Weird Al states that one of the main reasons he doesn’t parody that often anymore is that there isn’t really a centralized metric for what songs are really popular. “Everyone is listening to their own little niche of songs.”
I’m paraphrasing but I get it, we listen to what we want when we want and it’s not like the MTV days where what was hits was front and center.
I’m sure he has other reasons but that’s just one I know of from an interview.
I don’t even know what’s considered popular myself and I don’t care, I know where to find music I like.
"It's Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday."
Someone must’ve missed polkamania.

We Must Summon Weird Al Yankovik
Weird Al had a great take on this. In the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, the majority of music was discovered through TV and radio. There was a clear top 100, and everyone recognized those songs. So making a parody that resonated with a lot of people was "easy" because there was a collective recognition of the songs, whether you liked the songs or not.
Now, almost all music is discovered through spotify and the like. Everyone only listens to their own niche. You could make a parody but the majority of people will have no idea which song it is referencing.
I think the last good parody I came across was this 8 years ago...
This feels more like a terrible Facebook meme. Like really? You’re complaining about “them damn kids and their wrap music”
When Jeopardy has questions about current music it makes me cringe so hard. They're questions about music that will most likely be forgotten in a decade. Only music with a lasting cultural impact is worthy of a Jeopardy question. And fuck the questions that are obvious ads.
(I watch Jeopardy with my dad sometimes)
Half the reason is copyright laws being exploited.
