From "Telephone" to "Thriller" to ... er, "Telephone" again, here are some of the most creative takes on popular videos.

It's amazing what people will do if you give them a Flipcam, a song, and a computer. Mostly, make terrible music video parodies. But here are 10 that don't suck.


Michael Jackson’s “Beat It”

The man who invented the music video, parodied by the man who invented the music video remake. Original here.


Lady Gaga’s “Telephone”

We support these troops! Original here.


Beyonce’s “Single Ladies”

Justin Timberlake and whichever Jonas brother you are – Imma let you finish, but Cubby's "Single Ladies" remake video is the best "Single Ladies" remake video of all time. Original here.


Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance”

Complete with blooper reel! Original here.


Michael Jackson's "Thriller"

Jailhouse pop. Original here.


Katy Perry’s “California Gurls”

"Nose jobs/Tummy tucks/These are the girls I like to ... hang out with." Original here. Runners-up: Cubby's version and California Gays.


Barenaked Ladies' "One Week"

"It's been ... 10 years since I liked this song." Original here.


Coolio’s "Gangsta’s Paradise"

Another Weird Al gem – "Been spendin' all my life/Livin' in an Amish paradise." Original here.


Ke$ha’s “Tik Tok”

Fe@turing brand new but equally ann0ying lyric$. Original here.
