There’s apparently a lot to be said about backs and comebacks.
Inspired by Justin Timberlake and his “SexyBack” phenomenon (see “Should Justin Timberlake Be Worried About A SexyBacklash?”), musicians and video-makers have flooded the Web with spoofs of the song, from “SweatyBack” to “ScratchMyBack.”
“I’m just hoping Justin watches them,” “HairyBack” creator Andy Signore said. “I can’t imagine he wouldn’t laugh at it. We’re definitely not trying to bust on him.”
Here’s the rundown on four parodies that had our eyes glued to YouTube:
.
.
.
“PaxilBack”
Creator: The Gray Kid (a.k.a. Steve Cooper), Daniel Stessen and their Los Angeles artist collective People Food
Résumé: Rapper/singer the Gray Kid recently released an album of original tunes called … 5,6,7,8 and is also known for his mash-up covers. “For the next one I’m re-recording Ludacris’ ['Southern Hospitality'] with the music of Interpol’s ‘Untitled,’ ” Cooper said. “It’s kind of like an exercise for me.”
Sample lyrics: “I’m brining Paxil back/ The platinum bottle with the childproof cap/ Just read the dosage and quadruple that/ Six whiskeys later I’ll be on my back.”
Inspiration: “Daniel and I suffer from the same ailments this year, feeling you’re really good at something and still having a stupid day job, feeling really capable and losing girlfriends,” Cooper explained. “So we were sitting there like, ‘How can we make this life, which is like you kind of want to be us but kind of not, and make that cool? And we had been joking about ‘SexyBack’ because it’s very absurd. You can’t bring sexy back. And we thought, ‘What could be more absurd to bring back?’ And [the antidepressant drug] Paxil came to mind, because it never went away either.”
Money shot: As Cooper sings “I’m OCD,” he scratches off a to-do list’s top item: “Make a to-do list.”
Fun fact: United Talent Agency signed People Food after seeing the video. “For a split second I was like, ‘Hmm, I hope people don’t get it wrong, because I’m real serious about my records,’ ” Cooper said. “I’m not like an ironic character. But this sh– is too tight, I’m not going to trip about that.”
