Monseiurs, Madames, Mademoiselles & Music Maestros,
(Today’s post is sponsored by the letter “M”)
As Friedrich Nietzsche once said, “Without music, life would be a mistake”. Well the launch of Homerpalooza has finally brought a musical event to our games and erased a potential ‘mistake’ as Nietzsche called it.
A big part of the Homerpalooza event are the Jam Sessions. But did you notice what songs your characters are jamming to on the Rock stage, Pop stage, and Hip Hop stage?
While the song that plays while you jam makes no difference, I’m sure some of you are curious to know what our characters are jamming to. Can you guess which song they are parodying?
I’ll start us off with the Rock Act, where The Stabfour “Let It Bleed” is a parody of The Beetles “Let It Be” (one of my favourite songs, if not THE favourite, by the Fab Four). Now it’s your turn.
NOTE: I’m sure some of you could figure out every parody. But to give more people a chance to comment, can you please try to limit your responses to one song from each Act.
