[Guaranteed Laughs] A Collection of Parody Songs That Hype Up Any Karaoke! (1–10)
Bling-Bang-Bang-BornCreepy Nuts
From the image of period dramas, you might get the impression that samurai and warriors use distinctive turns of phrase.
This is a parody of Creepy Nuts’ signature song “Bling-Bang-Bang-Born,” rewritten in language like that of samurai and warriors.
Even though the meaning being sung is almost unchanged from the original, just the shift in wording makes it feel completely different, doesn’t it? The changes to the parts originally sung in English are especially striking, with phrases like “sore-sore” and “dokkoi-sho” packing real punch into the lyrics.
Yes, with pleasure.Kent on this side
This is a parody of Kent-san’s “Hai Yorokonde,” themed around the life of Hiroshi Nohara, the father from the popular anime Crayon Shin-chan.
Set to a light, upbeat melody, it sings about the struggles of a salaryman—like having a long mortgage still to pay and being stuck working overtime because the job just won’t end.
A key point is that it doesn’t only dwell on hardship; it also conveys his love for his family, which in turn communicates the dependable image of a father working hard for them.
It even comes across as a kind of anthem cheering on salarymen everywhere who are doing their best for their families.
Christmas songback number
Christmas Song, a winter classic released by back number in 2015, has gained strong support especially among young people for its highly relatable lyrics.
It excels at projecting emotions in love and painting vivid scenes, making it easy to empathize as soon as you listen.
While parody versions of Christmas Song naturally work well when they match the Christmas theme, it’s also recommended to give them a twist with bittersweet or sad punchlines, which suits the mood of the original.
Shut up.Ado
Ado, who made headlines with her major-label debut while still a high school student.
Her 2020 release “Usseewa” is a hugely popular song that has surpassed 100 million views on YouTube! Many listeners relate to the lyrics, which directly express both rebellion against long-standing social rules and genuine emotions.
The key to making a parody version of this song is, without a doubt, that the chorus can be replaced with all kinds of words.
Don’t just sing about dissatisfaction with society—belt out your own emotional outburst, and you’ve got a perfect parody!
astronomical observationBUMP OF CHICKEN
This is a parody of BUMP OF CHICKEN’s “Tentai Kansoku,” themed around the history of failing to lose weight and staying overweight, and a lifestyle of being unable to stop binge eating and drinking.
It even starts with a scene where the person unconsciously opens the refrigerator at 2 a.
m.
, clearly conveying that they probably won’t be able to slim down.
While it depicts the pain of not being able to lose weight, it basically shows the person always eating, and the gap between the refreshing sound and these lyrics is pretty funny.
Along with the struggle of gaining weight, the joy of eating is also strongly emphasized, and that slightly positive touch leaves a memorable impression.
Goodbye ElegyMasaki Suda
The original song is Masaki Suda’s third single, “Sayonara Elegy,” released in February 2018.
It was the theme song for the NTV drama series “Todome no Kiss,” starring Kento Yamazaki, and while the original track—like the drama’s content—is quite intense, here it’s been turned into a comedic parody with an exam theme.
Precisely because the original lyrics are so intense, the contrasting parody lyrics really stand out.
Still, I think many people who have gone through entrance exams will find plenty in this parody version that rings true and is easy to relate to.
The lyrics are very comedic, but I feel it gets a better reception if you sing it in a very serious tone!
SaudadePorno Graffitti
It’s the fourth single by Porno Graffitti, released in 2000.
It’s also one of their signature songs that always sends fans into a frenzy at live shows.
With an emphasis on femininity, the track features a fast melody line, making it a bit challenging to sing.
Try to articulate each word of the lyrics clearly.
Of course, there are no rules for parody versions, but since the song was created from a female perspective, why not reflect that intent and develop a story with a woman as the protagonist?
