Musically, all of Weird Al's stuff.
For movies, if you mean 'twisted' as being far and away from the original concept rather than perverse, Young Frankenstein has to be up there.
Also Flesh Gordon. :biggrin:

I like Chris Morris' musical parodies. They tend to be exceptionally well observed and executed. :smile:

There are loads of other parodies I've seen but can't remember so they can't have been that good.

Hurkyl,

Remember to read the book before writing the book report! (My video petered out shortly after the pirates, etc., arrived in space.)

Definitely, and everything else from Mel Brooks.
