Robert Accettura's Fun With Wordage » parody http://robert.accettura.com Robert Accettura's Personal Blog on Web Development and Tech Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:43:47 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Hey Ya! http://robert.accettura.com/blog/2011/09/05/hey-ya/ http://robert.accettura.com/blog/2011/09/05/hey-ya/#comments Mon, 05 Sep 2011 04:47:37 +0000 Robert http://robert.accettura.com/?p=6217 Continue reading →]]> The Blanks - Hey Ya!

The Blanks are best known as “Ted’s Band” on the TV show Scrubs. They are in fact a real life a cappella group. The above adaptation of Hey Ya! (originally by Outkast) was partially used in an episode at one point. It reminds me of this Mat Weddle of Obadiah Parker cover.

Related is The Blanks doing a cover of Superman (the Scrubs theme song).

I might like musical parodies a bit.

The funny folks at Reddit decided to translate and discover the evolutionary meanings behind the song. Screenshot for posterity is below with a link to a larger sized image. The original thread can be found here.

I’m going to start by saying NSFW. You will want headphones if listening to this video at work or in the presence of easily offended. It’s extremely well done. It’s based on this song, which is obviously also NSFW.

If it’s not already obvious, I have a love for musical parodies and oddly creative covers. I’ve got a few more in queue for this blog.

I’ve mentioned a few cool videos from Jim Henson shows. The Muppets covering Bohemian Rhapsody is especially awesome. Enjoy.

Also noteworthy is it’s one of the first 1080p videos on YouTube that I’ve seen. Looks like it’s done via MP4 (not sure Flash supports anything else at that quality).
