Sing Talk

First, watch this video of the parody for Ke$ha's music video "Tik Tok"
Sing Talk (Tik Tok Parody)  


Ke$ha's first song "Tik Tok" took the country by storm and soon everyone was "brushing their teeth with a bottle of jack" while feeling like P Diddy. But when you listen to the artist live or just to her voice, some may start to wonder how much real talent this artist has. I love Ke$ha's music, dont get me wrong, her songs are very catchy but her voice just sounds unrealistic; like it has just been fixed to sound that way. This remix of her video supports my view on Ke$ha. This remix is halarious and works because the lyrics are changed and put into the same beat and the same scenes from the actual music video. This parody is so funny because the lyrics are extremely truthful and all the actors look very similar to the actors in the actual music video. The significance of such pieces are to get a serious point across by the use of humor. This may be a friendlier approach to criticizing famous artists such as Ke$ha. However, this video does serious works because it is talking about how Ke$ha is not a good recording artist. If you listen to the lyrics closely, most people will end up agreeing with exactly what the fake Ke$ha in the video is singing about. An example of this is comparing the two sets of lyrics from the actual song Tik Tok to the lyrics for Sing Talk. The first set of lyrics are for Tik Tok while the second set is for Sing Talk"

"Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, imma fight
'Till we see the sunlight"

"Sing talk gotta rock
Can't believe I pulled this off
So tight hip hop light
Its like rapping but not quite"

As you can see, Ke$ha is talking about partying, drinking and the life of a rockstar. Whereas, Sing Talk states that she can not sing but somehow managed to ger a producer and create a new type of music that is a mix of a few different types of music.
