This is the second literal video I’ve mentioned here. I still think it’s an interesting concept. This one is particularly amusing since it’s The Monkees, and their video is indeed full of things to make fun of 40 years later. Enjoy!

SpongeBob Got Back
Yes, this is the third Baby Got Back post on this blog. Why? Because I find these parodies of the most bizarre song ever made to be quite amusing. Enjoy. This one is a part of a Burger King promotion (featuring The Burger King himself) and SpongeBob. This is a new level of bizarre.
Here’s a literal version of The Beatles Penny Lane. When I say “literal”, I mean it literally. Quite amusing. There’s a few more good ones I might link here in upcoming days.
Here’s a very well done rendition of “Baby Got Back” performed Gilbert & Sullivan style.
Previously I’ve mentioned Jonathan Coulton’s acoustic version.

David Pogue Medley
As promised, here’s a medley David Pogue did at the TED Conference regarding online music. Enjoy.
Here’s a little gem. New York Times tech columnist David Pogue. There’s two songs nested in this video you’ll likely want to check out. Use the links below to go right to the songs and skip the talk:
- Imagine – Pogue does a little parody of John Lennon’s “Imagine”.
- My Way – Pogue does a little parody of Paul Anka’s “My Way” (known by most for being performed by Frank Sinatra). For the record Paul Anka is still dead to me after his Nirvana cover.
There’s also the music video for the “My Way” parody “I want an iPhone“.
For those who don’t know, in a previous live David Pogue spent some time on Broadway on the music side of things.
Nice way to start off MacWorld week right? I’ve got another for later in the week.

Baby Got Back
Many people have done covers of Baby got Back. Jonathan Coulton wins though for simply being the most amusing interpretation. Considering the competition, which includes Weird Al, that’s saying a lot.
For anyone who doesn’t remember the original, I recommend checking it out.
