Kim Jong-Un Song- Parody by Rucka Rucka Ali- Parody Video of the day

Here's an extremely un-PC parody on Kim Jong-un: Rucka Rucka Ali poking fun of the dictator with a parody of FGL ft Nelly "Cruise."

Definitely not for the faint of heart or easily offended, it can get pretty offensive.

I posted his parody of Carly Rae Jepson's wildly popular "Call Me Maybe" where he pokes fun of Barack Obama during his 2012 campaign, along with a little information on this Detroit singer who lampoons just about everyone.

This was from 2013.

Kim Jong-un Gangnam Style- Parody video of the day

Just watched a video from a North Korean Youtube propaganda channel that I subscribe to. Always entertaining, on so many levels- from the overwrought narrators to the pro-DPRK versus anti-DPRK comments- and I noticed a slew of Kim Jong-un parodies. So, for your entertainment, I will start posting some.

I'll start with this Gangnam Style parody. The original by a South Korean pop star, became a global hit after the video went viral, several years back.

Trump's Obama You're Fired Parody RNC Video Released

Breitbart has posted the full-length, never-aired Donald Trump  'Obama You're fired' parody video he produced for the Mitt Romney campaign that was to air on the first night of the Republican National Convention last August in Tampa. That never happened due to reasons which differ depending on the source. According to Stuart Stevens, Romney's political adviser, since the convention had to be shortened due to weather delays they decided to cut the video.  Trump and his cohorts beg to differ.  They claim that Romney and his aides felt it was too controversial.

"The reason they didn't put it on is because they thought it was too controversial. Controversy. It might not be politically correct," Trump said.

Stevens added that it wasn't used as a campaign ad because it was too long. The usual format for a TV commercial is either 30 or 60 seconds.

The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle.

The video cost $100,000 to produce.

Gotye Parody- "Obama That I Used To Know"- By Disillusioned 2008 Supporters

It looks like it's time for all the political parodies of popular songs, including one based on Belgium/Australian singer Gotye's  incredibly catchy tune "Somebody That I Used To Know"- which I now cannot get out of my head.
Watch  the original (featuring Kimbra) first, and then the following clever video by JustNew Productions.  JustNew Productions (Justin Monticello and Ryan Newbrough) skewer Obama for not following up on his 2008 campaign promises. Will they vote for Romney?  Doubtful, since he's poked fun at, as well. Will they vote for Obama again?  Probably. As you can see by the lyrics (below), the disillusionment has more to do with Obama not going far enough, including getting out of Guantanamo. I contacted them by email, and will update if I hear back.
It's written by Ryan and Justin, directed by Justin and performed by Gabi Conti and Justin (with vocals by Matthew Bohrer)




LYRICS

Now and then I think of that election day, November
When you won I felt so happy I could die
Chugged a fifth, paraded in the street
And I thanked God that Palin wasn't Veep
It felt like change and it's a hope I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of message
Like this is change we can believe in, yes we can
But college ended, had to pay my rent
At least you're the first gay president
But the change I got was that I moved in with my mother

Because you won and then you cut me off
Now your speeches never soar as high as unemployment
You took Obamacare so far
But you left me like a dog strapped on Romney's car
Even the shirt that was on my back
Is owned by China or being arbitraged by Goldman Sachs
Just send in a Predator Drone
'Cause now you're not Obama that I used to know

Now you're not Obama that I used to know
Now I need Obama that I used to know

Sometimes I think that Peace Prize winners shouldn't have a kill list
But you dumped Bin Laden in the sea so maybe it's all good
Said you'd rouse my economy
Your big package didn't stimulate me
Still my American Idol, though
When you sang, "I'm so in love with you"...Obama that I used to know

But you won and then you cut me off
Made out like you'd close Guantanamo and we got nothing
Relocation shouldn't be that hard
Just strap the prisoners in on top of Romney's car
No, I don't need you to legalize
Just keep the feds away from folks like you when you were younger
There's nothing that you didn't toke
But now that's just Obama that I used to know

Obama
That I used to know
Obama
That I used to know
Obama
That I used to know

In 2012 I need Obama that I used to know

"My Name's Obama" - "Call Me Maybe" Parody by Rucka Rucka Ali

There's really not much information out there about Detroit pop/hiphop parody rapper/singer Rucka Rucka Ali, who has somehow found fame and popularity on YouTube with his racy, often seemingly racist versions of popular songs.
Urban Dictionary says of Rucka:

Free Speech taken to its literal extreme. His songs, most of which are parodies on pop and hip-hop music, can very easily be labeled as simply racist. However, if given a chance, the listener learns that his songs are deeply critical of world events, governments, and prejudices. Also, they're goddam hilarious.

A short list of things Ali has parodied include: white people, black people, Asians, Mexicans, Russians, Canadians, the French, Germans, Haitians, Jews, Christians, Muslims, celebrities, the 80's, emos, Crips, Bloods, senior citizens, homeless people, rich people, gays, gay-haters, rednecks, hippies, police, Obama, Obama haters, Obama supporters, crack-smokers, and Youtube.

Has recently had trouble with Youtube blocking his accounts and deleting his videos, but his fans re-upload the videos just as fast as they get taken off.

This is his latest on Obama, sung to the tune of the very popular Carly Rae Jepson song "Call Me Maybe".

If you are easily offended, do not watch. Some of the lyrics are pretty dang funny, but some of the video is quite offensive. You have been warned.  If you do watch, remember this is a parody, Rucka lampoons everyone, and view in light of Urban Dictionary's description above.
