Funny parody song. Hilarious popular parody songs (1–10)
On the Day of Departure

This is a parody of the classic graduation song “Tabidachi no Hi ni,” reworked with relatable themes for big eaters.
The singer’s strong vocals make the humor come through even more.
The final crescendo is a highlight in the original, and you can really feel that momentum in the parody, too.
It’s a standout parody that depicts firm resolve and someone following their own path.
People who eat a lot or have put on a little weight will relate.
However, those who feel self-conscious about their body shape might want to skip it.
broad daylight

This is a rendition of King Gnu’s classic “Hakujitsu,” sung as a school lunchtime song that students enjoy.
The contrast between the song’s melancholic world and the earnest way the kids belt out lyrics that seem trivial at first glance is sure to make you smile.
The lyrics evoke memories of elementary and middle school days, giving the song a nostalgic feel.
It blends humor, nostalgia, and a cry from the soul.
By the way, the author used to join the daily dessert rock-paper-scissors game and often ended up with lots of cabbage cores slipped in by the girls.
paprika

This is a parody of “Paprika,” which has now become one of Japan’s signature songs, sung with classic elementary school “relatable moments.” Listening to it gives you a sense of nostalgia and fun.
I was startled because I’ve done almost everything they sing about.
If you have an elementary school child, it might be good to listen to it to understand how your child feels.
For elementary school kids, it’s so relatable that it could be fun to listen to as a family.
RPG

This is a parody of SEKAI NO OWARI’s classic song “RPG,” with lyrics about typical elementary school experiences.
If anything, it’s more of the “popular, having-a-blast” type of elementary school clichés.
There are many that apply to the upper grades, so it will be especially nostalgic for many people.
Listening to it makes you quietly long to go back to those days—it’s bittersweet.
It’s the perfect song for soaking in nostalgia.
Parody Song Mega MedleyTatsuo Kamon

When it comes to parody songs in Japan today, Tatsuo Kamon is without a doubt the first singer who comes to mind.
He is the person who made pop-song parodies massively mainstream.
The effort he put into obtaining permission for every release is also remarkable.
Genesis of Aquarion

This is a parody song that shines the spotlight on Baikinman.
Set to the melody of the iconic anime theme “Sousei no Aquarion,” the lyrics view Anpanman from Baikinman’s perspective.
While introducing Anpanman’s weaknesses and the behind-the-scenes of the bakery, the song conveys a strong determination to never give up.
It’s the classic style of a parody: saying admirable things, yet ending in chaos.
Otona BlueAtarashii Gakkou no Leaders

Set to the melody of Atarashii Gakko! (The Leaders)’ “Otona Blue,” this song features members of the Manzai Association’s board singing from the perspective of seasoned veterans.
It gives the impression of a viewpoint unique to those who frequently interact with the big names, and it sharply conveys what kind of presence these veterans are.
By detailing things like not being rattled when a joke falls flat, repeating the same routine over and over, and lecturing younger performers at great length, the lyrics clearly communicate just how troublesome their behavior can feel.
While it might look like a rebellion against the old guard, the song also acknowledges their humor in places, making it clear that this is a good-natured, affectionate parody.
