In the past year, a number of parody music videos have been produced by the juggling community. Here’s a look at some of our favorites:
Taylor Glenn, The Omnipotent Juggler, strikes again, this time with her spin on Travie McCoy’s 2010 breakout hit “Billionaire”. This clever pop parody, titled “I wanna be a juggler”, includes shoutouts to everyone from Doug Sayers to Michael Karas.
It was only a matter of time before someone created a Lady Gaga juggling music video. Chris Chiappini presents “Just Juggle”, a parody of Gaga’s “Just Dance”. The song references a number of New York City jugglers, and features a little bit of site swap humor to boot. After all, who doesn’t love a good site swap joke?
Finally, to prove that we’re not totally slaves to pop music, Mark and Dre present their take on Talking Heads’ “Psycho Killer”. The video, titled “Psycho Juggler”, features a number of karamozovian tricks, as well as creative use of percussive juggling.
