4:27 "I thought this video was about writing. Move on, Mr. Betts" well, yes this is about writing, but this audio information is very helpful, so please, continue
Before I was lucky enough to come across your work I made a few parodies of my own for my class. My best was a parody of DMX Who We Be which became All About Greece. Thank you for all you do, I use your videos all the time.
Cadence is very important. Rhythm is important too. But you don't need anything but the original lyrics. And a pen and paper. No PC BS. Also a sadness hat helps too
This was great! I'm writing a parody song for work. Just a One-Shot thing. And this is going to be super helpful I really got stuck and that's how I found Mr. Betts.
Thanks Teacher Betts! I needed this Lesson so much because of my dreaded science teacher who wants us to make a science song! Thanks!!!!! -shalanie, a student who is suffering from cringe from her science song
I so needed this video. For the last couple of months, I've been trying to write a parody of Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana. I know that song like the back of my hand, and I've also studied Weird Al Yankovic's parody Smells Like Nirvana. However I've seriously been struggling with coming up with the lyrics. This video really helped me.
I was watching this video in order to try to get better at writing comedy parody songs when I remembered watching the french and indian war song you made in elementary school - what a coincidence!
This video is extremely helpful. My class of American Presidency students is about to begin a parody project using your videos and advice. Thank you for such great inspiration!
Question Would this be a good idea Save Your Tears by The Weekend Save Your Tears For Another Day My idea! Save Your Swords by me Save Your Swords For Another Fight Is that a good idea
This was helpful, thank you! It's now Nov 2021. I did what you said - I downloaded a karaoke song from YT, put it into audacity and altered it in a few ways. I got a copyright warning (I can't remember the exact wording, but I don't think it said "strike". It said I couldn't monetize that video - I only have a few subscribers, so not even an issue...). How do I avoid copyright strike? One person told me i won't get one if i play a pop song with my own instrument. True? Much thanks!
A question: Where do you find the intrumentals without lyrics? And can you upload them on RUclips and earn ad revenue without getting blocked or demonetized (maybe the algorithm thinks it's copyright infringement just by listening to the intro music...even though covers and parodies fall under fair use).
Great info, thanks for sharing! Could you please provide a follow up video that explains how to Legally use the music from a copyright protected song to create new lyrics for a parody? Thanks. Btw, can we copyright our parody lyrics?
If someone has to teach you how to write a parody song, then you just don't have it. Simple as that. With parody songs, you either have the talent or you don't. Not everyone is Weird Al and that's a good thing. Weird Al is simply amazing talent. If you think you're in the
We watch your videos in history class quite often. We also make fun of your videos in history class quite often. Although I personally think they're great, hence I watched all of them outside of class too.
