Let's talk about the musicvideos where the artists make fun of other artists, not in a hurtful way but in a fun way.

Paul McCartney - "Coming up"
Among the People to be parodied are Hank Marvin (the guitarist with the glasses and the red strat), Ginger Baker (the drummer), Sparks' keyboard player Ron Mael.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Dani California"
The Peppers parody Elvis, the Beatles, Cream and Jimi Hendrix, George Clinton and Parlament funkadelic, David Bowie and T-rex, the sex pistols, The misfits, Motley Crue, Nirvana (Anthony Kiedis was a personal friend of Kurt Cobain)

Blink 182 - "All the small things"
They parody the music videos by Backstreet boys' "I want it my way", Christina Aguilera's "Genie in a Bottle" and "What a girl wants"

Alien Ant farm - "Smooth criminal"
They parody everything Michael Jackson stood for, his rhinestone glove, his dance move, the lighting street tiles, the monkey....

Can't find a clip but i remember laughing hysterically when Joe Cocker was on SNL. About the second verse ( can't remember the song either) Belushi walked on wearing the same outfit and did a spot on imitation of Joe Cocker. Hilarious!!!!!
