Line 14:
== Live Action TV ==
* When ''[[The Drew Carey Show]]'' was going to do an episode making fun of sci-fi conventions and the fans who go to them in costume, they wanted to have a couple of characters dress up as aliens from ''[[Babylon
* Chris Ballew, lead singer of the group The Presidents of the United States, showed up on ''[[Bill Nye the Science Guy]]'' to sing "Farm Food", which spoofed the POTUS song "Peaches".
* Anneka Rice of ''[[Challenge Anneka]]'' made a cameo appearance in the ''[[KYTV]]'' spoof ''Challenge Anna''.
Line 20:
== Music ==
* Happens with [["Weird Al" Yankovic]] a lot. For example, his music video for "Fat", a parody of [[Michael Jackson]]'s "Bad", uses the subway set for a parody from ''[[Moonwalker]]'' called "Badder", which Jackson granted Al permission to borrow. Also, "I Lost on [[Jeopardy!]]" ("Jeopardy" by the Greg Kihn Band) has Art Fleming and Don Pardo (the host and announcer from the original 1960s version) reprise their respective roles in the video for it, and even Greg Kihn himself appears in the end.
** [[Madonna]] wrote the first verse of his "Like a Surgeon" and sent it to him so he would do it.
** Madonna didn't just help Al parody her own stuff; she also appears in his video making fun of [[Lady Gaga]]'s "Born this Way", which of course is clearly inspired by Madonna's "Express Yourself".
Line 28:
* Country artist Cledus T. Judd, who does mostly parodies, has had country stars appear in his videos, such as [[Toby Keith]] in the parody of "How Do You Like Me Now?!", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5oYVsQTD-c How Do You Milk A Cow]".
** Even some of Judd's parodies feature the original artist in the recording, such as [[Brad Paisley]] on "More Beaver" (parody of "Me Neither"), [[George Jones]] on "I Was Country When Country Wasn't Pop" (parody of George Jones and [[Barbara Mandrell]]'s "I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool"), Toby Keith on "I Love NASCAR" (parody of "I Love This Bar") and Ronnie Dunn on "[[Garth Brooks|Garth]] Must Be Busy" ([[Brooks and Dunn]]'s "God Must Be Busy").
* ''[[Hello, Dolly!]]'' star Carol Channing appeared on ''[[Forbidden Broadway]] Vol. 3'' in a magnificent invocation of this trope.
Line 37:
== Western Animation ==
* ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'''s ''[[
* The ''[[Simpsons]]'' episode "The Day the Violence Died" contained a parody of "I'm Just a Bill" with Sheldon singing it, as well.
** In "E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt)", the B-52s parody their own "Love Shack" as "Glove Slap", while later episodes featured Jackson Browne and the Baha Men parodying their own respective work.
