Sometimes it takes a little time for proper parodies to make it out into the mainstream.
Today, Web Watch presents some of the more creative takes on GOTYE’s SOMEBODY THAT I USED TO KNOW music video. Enjoy.

By now you’ve probably heard about that NPR intern who claims to have over 11,000 songs in her music library, but only paid for 15 CDs in her life.
Remember CRACKER? What a great opportunity for someone in the music industry to write an open letter to that intern, right?
That’s exactly what DAVID LOWERY did.
Web Watch has mentioned Matt Harding before – he’s the guy who struck upon the absolutely perfect “job”, if you want to call it that, of traveling around the world and dancing.
And not just good dancing.
We’re talking really bad dancing.
And he’s been able to turn this hobby into a paying career of travel, music, Internet viral videos, and just bringing a little bit of joy and happiness to everyone he meets.
It’s a world-trotting flash mob.
Over the past few years, Web Watch has covered all sorts of information about what makes a pop song a hit.
We’ve talked about how you ONLY NEED FOUR CHORDS TO WRITE THE PERFECT POP SONG, how the KEY OF A SONG CAN PREDICT ITS POPULARITY, that MOST POP SONGS ARE ABOUT SEX, and even what the PERFECT SONG LENGTH should be for a hit song.
But now we have some science to thank for proving that everything Web Watch has told you in the past is absolutely true. See? It pays to read Web Watch and be on the cutting edge of everything!

Rub some bacon on it!

(is it a real number? Maybe… maybe not. YOU be the judge!)
Everybody knows how to make a standard marriage proposal.
It takes a special someone to make one that is awesome. We dare you to not want to try doing something like this yourself at your next opportunity.
Web Watch has been lucky enough to have seen pretty much every major artist we’ve ever wanted to see play in concert.
Kenny Rogers? Check.
U2? Check.
Neil Diamond? Check.
Village People? You betcha.
And for the most part, we had tickets or passes for every show. Now, we’ll admit that there may have been one or two where we did end up having to finagle our way into a venue or two, but we swear that we had a legitimate right to be there to justify our sneakiness.
Just because we didn’t have a ticket at the time doesn’t mean that we didn’t know where we could get one.
So the other day, Web Watch was having some drinks with friends when the topic of party music came up.
Of course, we all broke out singing Red Solo Cup
Which only prompted us to sing the song louder and at every available opportunity.
And that’s when the conversation shifted from FUN PARTY SONGS to WORST SONGS FOR STRIPPERS TO DANCE TO.
The overall winner?
