We got peacock to see the Olympics. They have no replays of the breaking. Everything else, but for some reason, no breaking. I'm so pissed. We need to open the olympic coverage to all networks. Fuck this monopoly bullshit. NBC phoned it in because they don't have to be good.
I only want to win the lottery to do two things. 1) Pay The Simpsons writers (and old writers) to make this a real musical. 2) Pay Andrew Dice Clay to read How the Grinch Stole Christmas on Christmas Eve.
Oh man, my cousin came down from Chicago when I was young and left this tape for me. The whole group of us went hard on it, and lost our minds when Simpsons did it.
It wasnt until many years after the Simpsons did it, that I finally heard the song that I believe they were parodying on the radio. That is, unless the song I heard was also a parody of a song in a play.
I genuinely love stories like this. It's charming af thinking of a parody of something existing in someone's head before the thing that's being parodied.
Not parodies but this happens to me with Taylor Swift songs too often. I hear an alt rock cover and love it. Then later I hear a Taylor Swift version and think it's odd she covered a small rock band. Then I realize I'm backwards and I secretly love Taylor Swift songs and my world view needs to reset. I'm a dude in my 30s. Not the target demographic.
I'd be *real* careful there sport. I'm taking this in (hopefully) the spirit it's intended (silly dancing)...but using a monkey to illustrate it....shesh
It was an exhibition sport, the host gets to pick five sports that normally aren't in the Olympics to showcase them. In 2026, the US picked baseball, cricket, flag football, lacrosse, and squash
The B-boy was actually good and I thought he should have at least won the first round. Should just get that out there, because J Attack has been completely ignored.

I remember being so young I thought this was original, hearing Amadeus for the first time was wild.
MrStealUrMeme
I also remember it when I was young, but knew it sounded simular to a real song, but took years to figure out when the real song was called.
ByteeBandit
This happened to me recently at the young age of 33. Had a cacophony of friends relentlessly searching the original to MAKE me hear it

For all the other jams of that time, that one is still top

I'm actually quite surprised that no one has tried to make this a reality yet. I guarantee it would fill every seat in the theater.

Not a parody. Still awesome. In the style of the great musical numbers of past.

It is riffing on the plot of The Music Man. I think it counts as a parody.

Missed a golden opportunity to photoshop it to say "Zaius 2024."

It was an actual Olympic event. And most of the performers did really well as I understand it. Australia just flopped.
