[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

haha very good

 

[Frutos]

I quite like that, mind you I like Nickelback and the original as well.

 

[Easy 10]

If thats the one where the guy is spoofing Britney, Aguilera et-al (can't watch it at work) then yet, its brilliantly done and the guy actually does a more than passable impression of Nickelback as well.

I did post it on here WEEKS ago though.

It is indeed that one.

It is indeed that one.

Probably my favourite song of last year as well. Not particularly a Nickelback fan, but that song is awesome. The real lyrics are great as well:

I'm through with standin' in line
To clubs I'll never get in
It's like the bottom of the ninth
And I'm never gonna win
This life hasn't turned out
Quite the way I want it to be
(Tell me what you want)

I want a brand new house
On an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub big enough
For ten plus me
(Yeah, so tell what you need)

I'll need a.. a credit card that's got no limit
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
Gonna join the mile high club
At thirty-seven thousand feet
--(Been there done that)--

I want a new tuned bus full of old guitars
My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between Cher and
James Dean is fine for me
(So how you gonna do it?)

I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair and change my name

[CHORUS]
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses, driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blonde hair
And well...

Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels
Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes
Sign a couple autographs
So I can eat my meals for free
(I'll have the quesadilla, ha ha)

I'm gonna dress my ass
With the latest fashion
Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
Gonna date a centerfold that loves to
Blow my money for me
[Rockstar lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

(So how you gonna do it?)

I'm gonna trade this life
For fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair
And change my name

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars and
Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blonde hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary of
Today's who's who
They'll get you anything
with that evil smile
Everybody's got a
Drug dealer on speed dial, well
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar


I'm gonna sing those songs
That offend the censors
Gonna pop my pills
From a Pez dispenser


Get washed-up singers writing all my songs
Lip synch 'em every night so I don't get 'em wrong


Well we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blond hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary and
Today's who's who
They'll get you anything
with that evil smile
Everybody's got a
Drug dealer on speed dial,well

Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

Brilliant!
I look forward to one about The Eagles and Don Henley, with his shit whiney billionaire songs of faked emotional crap.
oops, sorry, yes - that was a good spoof

 

[Simster]

That is top, top drawer.

Good find Easy/Wozza.

 

[Frutos]

And here's the vido for the aforementioned song, see how many celebs you spot:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uK4niyFhERs

I've got: John Rich (country singer), Wayne Gretzky (ice hocky player), Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top), Kid Rock, Gene Simmons, Jason Mewes (Jay & Silent Bob), Chuck Liddell (UFC Fighter), Ted Nugent, New York's "Naked Cowboy" and the guys from the TV show "American Chopper"

I'm sure there are others in there who I recognise from somewhere/something, but don't know exactly who they are or why they're famous.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Ha, very good - missed that first time around

 

[bhaexpress]

I say they ripped of Joe Walsh's 'Life's Been Good'.

Just not so well done.

As for this parody, it is great, I think I prefer this the to original cos I really don't like the Bertie Nickleback bloke.

Sadly Mr Walsh has sold his soul for bird seed !
