A buddy of mine showed me this hilarious clip from the film, Running Out of Luck, yesterday as we were sitting at brunch. It’s basically a clip of Mick Jagger walking into a hardware shop in Brazil, where nobody recognises him, and then tries to get the owners to let him use their phone.
You can kind of guess how that goes:
Can I just point out that the woman in that clip is very distracting. Not her face, obviously, but I found myself constantly looking… well, lower down.
Anyway, one has to admit that if you know anything about Mick Jagger, that was probably a pretty accurate depiction of how the man moves.
Which of course leads us logically to one of the more amusing parodies of that silly Maroon 5 song about him:

Good one, that maroon 5 spoof – and the Leia stand in was nicely distracting. Better than the "Tonight I'm Frakking You" one I'd seen in the past
I love parody, done well. Weird Al is a musical fucking genius. He not only can play in almost any genre, but write original music in a band's style that, as Devo put it, "sounds more like us than we do."
Dare to be Stupid, "Germs", and others are brilliant. And while I hate Miley Cyrus, his spoof "Party in the CIA" is worth a few laughs.
Under geeky parodies, many don't work, but one that I actually find more entertaining than the orignal is the "Like a G6" spoof "Roll a D6"
