    I like the Kayne Song that samples Ray Charles song”I got a woman” I don’t know why you won’t vote for him for president. I’m going to have this in my head all day now.

      LOL, you’ll spend the whole day thinking about something that was triggered by me, unable to concentrate on more important stuff. Somehow, I kind of like that!

    My parents, especially my dad, loved Ray Charles. I grew up listening to a lot of his music. I like him, too.
    No offense to Kanye but all I hear here is Ray. :)

    Two BYU students, Marcus Joseph and Korey Smith, wrote this parody of Adele's "Hello." They made the video, too. This guy (Parker Cressman) has some singing chops!

    This parody is one of the best parodies I've ever heard. And the video is funny and great to me, too.

    " Hello (Mormon Missionary Parody)"

  • Eddie Money's "Take Me Home Tonight" pays major homage to "Be My Baby" by the Ronettes.  Ronnie Spector even provided the chorus on Eddie's track.

    I never made a connection between these two songs. :)
    I like both, too.

    Everything by Weird Al Yankovic. Too many to list.

    I like Al, too. :)
    If you get a chance, and if you haven't already heard it, consider checking out the parody song video I posted in my answer.  Good stuff to me. :)
