From my posts, you might begin to think that I have an unhealthy obsession with Star Wars and what George Lucas has done. That's not the case, but tonight, Reddit led me to yet another Star Wars focused video that I found quite funny, and I think you should watch it, if you know and like Star Wars.
Harkening back to Weird Al, I've always been a fan of parodies. Before Episode I, when Weird Al did the Saga Begins, I couldn't get enough of it. I'll occasionally put on Weird Al just because I find his music fun. Even when I'm not familiar with the original song, I still enjoy what he does. It's the same with this video. I am not that familiar with the original song, Somebody That I Used to Know. I have a passing familiarity with the tune, but I don't think I had ever heard the whole song. I forced myself to sit through the video to have a better grasp of the parody I was about to see.
The parody video has good production quality and nice vocals too. I'm not actually sure what makes a successful parody; I think only Weird Al has that information. That being said, the gentlemen behind this video may have gotten a peek at Al's notes.
Tonight's entry is short and sweet because I just don't have much to say. The video is entertaining but not laugh out loud funny. The production values are very good, and I knew what they were singing about, so I felt included. There isn't much more that I need for a parody video, I guess.
