Chapter 8 – Pastiche, Parody and Remake Blog



For the life of me, I looked all over the computer and could not find an uplink to these songs, so please forgive me for not being able for you guys to hear them, but as far as remakes in music goes I think the Heavy Metal Band, Krokus did a few kick ass remakes on their alblum, Headhunters. They did American Woman by the Guess Who, Schools Out by Alice Cooper, and Smoking in the Boys Room by a band that I know, but cant think of their name right now. Lenny Kravitz and Motley Crue both did remakes of a couple of these songs as well, but in my opinion do not come close in comparison to what Krokus did with them.


When it comes to Parody, Saturday Night Lve on NBC T.V. have some of the more funny Parody acts out there in T.V. Land. Eddie Murphy always comes to my mind when thinking of parody/comedy. His skits and take about the little rascels in the 1982 season were funny, funny, funny. If you didn’t have a clue to who the little rascels were, you would be completely lost when he talks like buckweat and says some his quotes. If you do know the little rascels well, then you would get the jist of what hes saying and most people will agree that his skits are very funny.

One day I am going to go visit Los Vegas. Not only to play the slots, but to go see all of Pastiche in their architecture around town. Every time I see something about Vegas, wether in a magizine, a newspaper or T.V. it is usually an image of a far away land. This draws me in to go see Los Vegas.
