Linkin Park Parody

I actually like Linkin Park, believe it or not. Consider this like one of those Comedy Central celebrity roasts–it’s all in good fun…that is, until Jeffrey Ross makes Bea Arthur cry.

I wrote this song two years ago. I decided to make a video for it when I heard they were releasing a new CD. Then I found out there was very little rap on the new album which pretty much renders my song obsolete.

But, what the hell, I decided to do it anyway. And, no, I don’t think their CDs belong in the bargain bin although, being the cheapskate I am, I would very much like to find them there.

People keep asking about the lyrics and if they can have the mp3. So, you can download the mp3 here:

And here are the lyrics:

When I rap
I talk about the pain inside
The problems you went through back in junior high.
Computerized beats
We got ‘em from the start
Then Chester comes along and
“Sings this part”.
Then I rap some more
I say it all again like I did before.
Formulaic flow, one guy wears headphones
Here comes the same old chorus
You know the way it goes.

I just scream and shout
Don’t know what I’m so pissed off about
Our success is hard to figure out.

Now I’m rapping again
You thought that I was done
Just like rap/rock back in 2001.
We never sold out, we had nothing to sell
Is your CD on repeat?
“You can’t tell”
It’s all the same
We gotta DJ even we don’t know his name
You do what you can when your a TRL band
And 12 year old girls are your number 1 fans

Now I break it down
I’ll sing soft and not so loud
We are masters of overproduced sound

Time to yell again
Still pissed off my god it never ends
(I’m gonna rap a little here)
Our CDs belong in the bargain bin.

    dude calm down…its just a parody. Read the description of the video. Plus i love Linkin Park, but its still funny..so just chill.

    um, correction… watch the video for From The Inside… and notice the hat that Mike Shinoda “isn’t” wearing… possibly this guy is just wearing the hat to differentiate between the guys in the band?…. it’s a parody anyway, so lighten up. I’m guessing you’re not a Wierd Al fan either, lol

    This is hilarious. Only because it’s true. Minus that their music is trash because Linkin Park IS badass. But this really describes their music well.

    look, im a LP fan, this is a pretty funny parody, However… The problem is though, is the rapper sounds like Shinoda. But the guy doing melody’s doesnt sound a shit like Chester and can’t sing. Chester can sing, even though it’s a bit emo at times. The lyrical content of this parody is tops, but yeah. That’s the only thing that shits me… Horrible Horrible on the ears.

  11. mypoisonkiss123 on July 15th, 2008

  12. cousins89 on July 17th, 2008

  13. ColdHearted on July 17th, 2008

    very funny, im a LP fan but i think your wrong about their fans being 12 year old girls, they arent really a gay boy band lol… they get too emo sometimes, and lmao at the first verse “and chester sings this paaaaarttt” so true.

  14. evagarcia16 on July 18th, 2008
