I adore spoofs. While most try to achieve a new ‘harmlessly humorous’ plane, some target a specific person or group. But whatever the motive, it takes some real creative muscle flexing to get it up.

I have put together just a sampling of videos that caught my attention.

Nickelback - Rock-star

This song embodies every youth’s dream. This favorite band of mine put what I dreamt of in college, while listening to Dream Theatre.

If Rock-stars have such a cool life, then what about pop-stars? Check the video to find out.

James Blunt - You are beautiful

This master-piece helped me through quite a few love-at-first-sight scenarios. The lyrics are brilliant and the song sticks to a heart-melting pace.

But listening to this spoof cleared my mind of any future plans of the falling-head-over-heels concept. Beauty can be skin deep at times.

Heroes:

I did not miss a single episode of season 1, when it was aired in India last year. Hours of such idiot-box patronage left a few questions unanswered. The video is an embodiment of all my doubts.

There you have it folks. A few of the videos which set my humor bone on fire and got me searching for more! Spoofs are all about creativity and spontaneity.

I hail thee, O creative immortals out there…
