6 Super-Fun Bookish Parody Songs

Cassandra Neace Apr 6, 2015

We enjoy a good parody around these parts, and a bookish parody really revs our engines. I shared my favorite (short form) Harry Potter parodies, and we’ve rounded up some of the best librarian-led song parodies in the past. Here are a few more super-fun parodies that have popped up on my radar recently.

Here’s a classic from Paul & Storm – Write Like the Wind – and here’s George’s reaction to it when they performed at w00TStock 5.0.

Red Wedding

And here’s Gandalf vs. Dumbledore. And Poe vs. Stephen King.
