Da Vinci's Notebook: Title of the Song
[purchase]
Lest we forget that so-called artists themselves are too-often complicit in treating the business of music as little more than a vehicle for fame and profit, here's recently-defunct a capella group Da Vinci's Notebook with an original (and highly meta) 1999 poke at the boy band cash cow formula.
Especially hilarious in concert, where it is much more obvious that the vocalization is part of the parody, rather than merely a limitation of their own performance. Kind of sad, though, when you consider that the song was really performed by four middle-aged guys who were never going to hit the big time as a novelty act singing humorous a capella tunes on the folk circuit.
