Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen) - Baz Luhrmann

Everything you need to know can pretty much be found in this song. It covers everything from skincare, body care/aging, kindness to the elderly, familial relations, politics, love, money, self-worth, friendship, where to live, and of course WEAR SUNSCREEN.

A.M.Radio - Everclear

A great driving around song from Everclear. Makes me laugh to think about AM Radio being the best music selection and talk of 8-track tape.

In the vein of last Wednesday's post of a Sesame Street Parody, I just had to share this one. It is a great, kid-friendly version of LMFAO's "Sexy and I Know It".

American Woman - Lenny Kravitz

I am a big Lenny Kravitz fan but until recently I wasn't aware that "American Woman" was a cover. It was originally performed by Guess Who. You can check out Guess Who's original song here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkqfpkTTy2w  You can judge which one is better.

Baby Got Back - Sir-Mix-A-Lot

This song has branded in the minds of people across the world thanks to Ross and Rachel on FRIENDS. The scenes from the show where it is the only song that can get their daughter to go to sleep are hilarious. Check out the original video.

Time to Pretend - MGMT

MGMT is known for their trippy and unusual videos and this one isn't an exception. While they are genrally categorized as an alternative band, I would label them more in the realm of psychedelic rock.  

Most people recognize this song from the soundtrack for 21 - the movie about the MIT students who take Vegas in a card counting scheme.

Every Car You Chase - Snow Patrol v. The Police 

Mashed up from Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars" and The Police's "Every Breath You Take", Party Ben's "Every Car You Chase" is not only a great mashup of the music and lyrics from both songs but this is also a great mashup of the videos for both songs.

Share It Maybe - Sesame Street

Having grown up with Sesame Street, I love it when they cover current songs. This one is particularly cute and funny with great lyrics. They did a good job of matching the rhythm of the lyrics with the rhythm of Call Me, Maybe?'s original lyrics. You can check out the original song here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWNaR-rxAic The lyrics for Share It Maybe are: 

Me got a wish on me mind It is a chocolate chip kind Me look at you and me tell You may have snickerdoodle

Me trade me soul for a bite Me spell it out black and white Me look at you and me see You like an elf in a tree

You, cookie-showing And me hunger growing Let’s get skim milk flowing We’ll start this snack going baby

Hey, me just met you And this is crazy But you got cookie So share it maybe

It’s hard to look at Your snack baby But you got cookie So share it maybe

Hey, me just met you And this is crazy But you got cookie So share it maybe

Cuppy-cake with frosting It don’t phase me But you got cookie So share it maybe

You took you time with the bite Me trying to stay polite Me start to really freak out Please someone call the girl scout

Me no grumble or grouse It’s taking toll on me house Me going off me rocker Please give me Betty Crocker

You, cookie-showing And me hunger growing Let’s get skim milk flowing We’ll start this snack going baby

Hey, me just met you And this is crazy But you got cookie So share it maybe

It’s hard to look at Your snack baby But you got cookie So share it maybe

Hey, me just met you And this is crazy But you got cookie So share it maybe

Pie and ice cream It don’t phase me But you got cookie So share it maybe

Before you came into me life Me missed you so bad Me missed you so bad Me missed you so, so bad

Before you came into me life Me missed you so bad And you should know that Me missed you so, so bad

It’s hard to look at your snack, baby But you got cookie, so share it maybe

Hey, me just met you And this is crazy But you got cookie So share it maybe

Chocolate pudding It no phase me But you got cookie So share it maybe

I Just Had Sex (feat. Akon) - The Lonely Island

NSFW - This is a great spoof a-la-SNL. The song itself makes you laugh with it's naughty lyrics and crude humor. The video is funny and illustrates the absurdity of the lyrics well.
