"I ended up watching one of those auto-generated YouTube mixes, based off of a geeky parody song i happen to like. I got through a lot of songs, some i knew, some i didn't, some were awesome, some not so much. One parody intrigued me enough that i ended up following some links and reading some background to figure out how it came to be. Like most other people i suspect, i've heard bits and pieces of \"Somebody That I Used to Know\" a number of times, but i'd never seen any of the videos before. So in 2011 Gyote released the original video, which i thought was okay but nothing spectacular. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UVNT4wvIGY There were a number of covers of it, but one of the more famous ones was by \"Walk off the Earth\", who had a gimmick where all five members of the band were playing a single guitar at the same time. It's an amusing trick, but i'm still kinda meh about the song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9NF2edxy-M So then \"Key of Awesome\" made a parody of the video of the cover band, which i find hilarous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwPHy17Iu6E But anyways, as long as i'm at it, here are some of the other parodies that i thought were decent (though not quite as good as the ones i've gushed about in the past =) Star Wars Let it Flow parody: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSgJeVwjnpc Star Wars All About That Base parody: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV5WqRnFejI Leia the Disney Princess (which is half cute and half terrifying) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRMFH71fDIE And i'm pretty sure i've posted these ones before, but they came up on the list, and they're awesome :) SJ Tucker - Playing D&D: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA9wM81WgS0 Paul & Storm: Write Like the Wind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7lp3RhzfgI Library Bards - All About That Space https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TH-BlAUAy6I"
