Best Wrecking Ball Parodies

I have never been one to follow pop culture, but some things are so ridiculously in your face it is impossible to stay away from them. One such annoyance seems to be Miley Cyrus. Whatever happened to the acceptable Hannah Montana? At least there was a market for her then. Now she is just being controversial for the sake of being controversial. First that ridiculous performance at the VMAs and now comes this sorry excuse of a song and music video, Wrecking Ball.

I get more joy watching my dog lick peanut butter off of his snout, than seeing her lick a sledgehammer. Most guys would get excited hearing about a pop star showing some skin in a music video, but not in this case. There have been some fantastic responses to the video. Here are 5 of my favourites from YouTube.

5 – Miley Cyrus – Wrecking Ball (Nicolas Cage Edition)

Well...it’s Nicolas Cage as Miley swinging on a Wrecking Ball....kind of. Not entirely sure if it better or worse than the original. Now I wonder what the reaction would have been like had they used Mel Gibson, hmm.

4 – Wrecking Ball remake NAILED IT

Not much to this one. He...well....nailed it.

3 – Greg James does Miley Cyrus’ Wrecking Ball........NAKED

BBC 1’s Greg James takes a swing at the video, naked....well...kinda, he does have a sock and a not so subtle “Subscribe Now” title covering his junk. Not too sure that you’ll feel the same after watching it, but hey it is does a great job at ripping on the original. The kiddies building blocks were a great touch.

2 – “Wrecking Ball” – Miley Cyrus (King The Kid COVER)

A mixture of a parody and cover by a band out of Oregon in the States called King the Kid. The video is funny. It is a remake of the original video with the three-man band putting own touch to it. The funny thing is that I actually enjoyed their rendition of the song. (Plus they lip sync the song better than Miley Cyrus....I mean how can you mess up Lip Syncing your own song)

1  –  Wrecking Ball Grand Valley State University Parody

The best parody by far. Short and...don’t exactly want to say sweet, but you get my point. It’s a seven second clip of a GVSU student swinging on a piece of art on the university’s campus. That video single headedly managed to have the piece taken down for “safety’ reasons. What a legend. 

Special mention

This vine was too good to pass up. It just sums everything up PERFECTLY.
