In our days of parodies and remixes, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that sometimes the parody is more loved than the original.  Here are some parody songs that CaptainSparklez did better than the original artists – and some that he didn’t, according to Youtubers.

CaptainSparklez, whose real name is Jordan Maron, released TNT (a parody of Taio Cruz’s Dynamite) on February 26, 2011.  It was the first Minecraft song posted on his YouTube channel, CaptainSparklez.

At the end of the music video, he shares the song’s credit with Igor Gordienko (TryHardNinja to many Youtubers) for vocals and Christopher Lee (Doc Exx on YouTube) for his part in audio mixing and production.  As for the rest, such as assembling, animating and editing visuals, as well as, recreating the Dynamite instrumental using Minecraft note blocks and writing lyrics (with some input from TryHardNinja) were done by CaptainSparklez himself.

Since was uploaded on February 2011, reaction from the population was nothing short of explosive.  (Pun totally intended!)  Past four years, many Youtube viewers have added comments ((196,476 of them, to be exact) to the video to express wide range of their love, support and other various reactions.  Among, literally thousands and thousands of comments, here are some that have caught my eyes for one reason or the other.

There were many nostalgic comments about how good Minecraft used to be – or not, in some cases:

Angry nostalgia

“Anyone remember the good days before eight years old took over Minecraft? And when Notch ACTUALLY made useful updates? Or the time when Sky actually cared? Or when Vanoss was at 1Mil And Sky was at 3Mil? Anyone remember when Tf2 wasn’t invaded by f***tards. I hope all of you do cuz ANY popular games now a days is gonna dunf***… So have a happy day! CUZ Eight-year-olds are going to f*** any other “cool games” left…” (holo51man1, 3 months ago)

Realistic nostalgia

“Remember the good days before eight year old’s took over Minecraft? Remember when cobblestone had more contrast and Grass looked more bright neon. And when the land actually looked good. When the mountains would go so high that the trees would reach the limit and cut in half. Remember when PaulSaursJr. built that hot tub or did minecraft dad? Well i remember because I don’t know about you guys but i found out a way to play the old update on xbox. Just simply delete the update in the system storage. I wish people would still make old version servers. If you don’t know what i mean by “old”, then you don’t need to read this.” (SillyWaffleFace, 1 month ago)

Less on nostalgia and more on anger

“F*** MINECRAFT 1.8 F*** MINECRAFT 1.7 BETA IS 10 TIMES BETTER!!!  LIKE IF YOU FEEL THE SAME! (PrankcallKing NL, 5 months ago)

Anti-nostalgia

“Quit it with all the “remember when…” comments! If you like the older versions of Minecraft, just play the older versions, for God’s sake! About 80% of the comments I’ve seen so far are people just hating on how far Minecraft’s come! Everyone’s complaining about how Minecraft is slowly dying away; maybe that’s because nobody’s supporting change! On another note, I DO think Mojang should add an enchantment for bows that decreases the draw time. Maybe at level 3 (or whatever the maximum level) we can come close to that machine gun-like firing speed that everybody loves!” (TheGigaBrain,  3 weeks ago)

Then, there were some with the hushed tone of true conspiracy theorists.

Conspiracy

“2:12 Horse in background. :0 …There were no horses back then. o_o” (Ktrbrady, 3 months ago)

“Did anybody else notice the horse at about 2:12? It’s the same exact model as the ones in 1.6… SPARKLEZ PREDICTED IT” (Sophie Serino, 1 month ago)

“if this video is in 2011 how come there is a horse seen in the time 2:12 ….. WTF” (Hunter_Kieran, 3 hours ago)

“Everybody’s talking about the horse in the background but nobody gives a damn about the birds.” (Ano Nymous, 1 hour ago)

The odd one…

Then, there is the one that has an answer for all questions.  Well, except about birds.  We won’t tell Ano Nymous…)

“1:30 : Fox

2:10 : Horse

2:26 : Cat

3:03 : Crow

Mo’ Creatures CONFIRMED” (salman shahzad, 1 month ago)

There is one that was pretty heavy on conspiracy theory but very light on facts.

“how does this have 90 million views if there are only -7 million people in the world! captainsparklez quit hacking! you hacker” (Boobon, 1 month ago)

According to PoluationInstititue.org, there are over 7 billion, not 7 million people in the world.

And, other honorable mentions…

Very ambiguous one

“who kills a pig with a shovel?” (Ian Tennant, 2 weeks ago)

I am not sure if this Youtube viewer’s outrage is on ‘kill’ or ‘shovel’

Either pointless or Zen, you tell me

“He said swig instead of sip” (shoncidemon, 1 month ago)

This one seems bit lost

“this song is like dynamite byt diffreat” (Lana V, 2 months ago)

Two replies for above statement were

“NO SHIT…. I WONDER WHAT F***ING PARADY THIS IS…..” (TheFriendlyHoloMan, 2 months ago)

“god you ar a 3 year old” (amanda haines, 2 weeks ago)

The one that I am pretty sure is all gibberish

“Kdjshhshwuek Hgwhwhhjwldm.rhgskrjjf R Jsjskgskssysjdhvgcycjj” (Leonardodaniel Roman, 1 month ago)

 

And of course, a damn fancy one

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

DAMN THIS COMMENT IS FANCY! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

(Agnieszka Rapala, 3 weeks ago)

 

TNT, since its release, has been viewed 93,656,997 times, shared 42,509 times and liked 769,000 times. (Cumulative through March 9, 2015)  Compare it to Taio Cruz’s Dynamite music video that has been viewed 32,199,181 times and liked 127,000 times, I would need to quote CaptainSparklez and say, “This is gnarbuckle, bro!”
