This has to be a parody by Cheech & Chong.

Has there ever been a better parody of the Beach Boys as the second of these three tracks? ((Sorry, they were uploaded as a bunch by someone else; skip to 4:25 for the song I mean)."Barbarians - bah, bah, barbarians". Yes indeeed..
The thiird track is a nice parody too, this time of a shanty. The whole album is full of parodies, including a parody of avantgarde music..

How could I forget Pat Boone's Heavy Metal Favorites?! Especially when I own a copy of this! Big smile Headbanger
It's titled "No More Mr. Nice Guy / In A Metal Mood". 
Cover songs actually but quite fun to listen to. Featuring Slash nd Dweezil Zappa among others.

Unless I overlooked something in this thread, I don't recall Bohenian Polka being mentioned.

Could be considered a parody but I think it's a cover version.
 


Not so much a cover or a parody, more of a deconstruction.

 
Yah, I see what you mean. Kind of along the line of Plunderphonics perhaps.

I think The Tubes are very capable of doing parodies but they are much more satirical. They did a riotous Beatles cover on the Live album; "I Saw Her Standing There" to accompany the great punk satire "I Was A Punk Before You Where A Punk".

I know quite a number of parodies, but my vote of the best one goes to the track 'Monsters Of Schmock' by the Rodgau Monotones on their album Silberhochzeit, where they take the mick out of songs like Smoke on the Water and some AC/DC track I can't remember the name of now.

It's done in perfect lounge-jazz shoo-bee-doo slimy crooner-voice style. Absolutely nails it!

Seems to be a lot from the guy I haven't heard yet. "Dare To Be Stupid" is classic. Smile
 
Anything by Dread Zeppelin is Great too.
