Re: FIRST Song Parody Contest Playlist and moving foward

I saw stuff like "FRC Rhapsody" and the other one, "We're gonna build a robot", which are the two that I consider actual parodies that are good, (I don't think "First can change the world" is actually parodying anything) to be good not because they advertised FIRST to the rest of the world, but it was a product of love for FIRST and all of the things that it had built up as their own inside jokes, people watch them and laugh at all the inside jokes and get sucked in by the references that are going by so fast that you con't even pick them up by the time they've past, but then the majority of parodies are A.) SLOW, allowing you to think Oh god, so much cringe. B.) not really using references, the songs ended up about being about FIRST in general, and usually in a way that doesn't let people say things like WATER GAME, and TOTES MA GOATS. C.) somehow, these people who (some of which) are going for an award that is based upon a video, don't know how to edit a video or manage audio.

If my team wasn't already making a parody, I would've tossed in my own video, it would probably be a parody of REMs "It's the end of the world as we know it" but instead we get a top cringe "Uptown Girl" parody, RIP.
