Parody of "The Good Life" (Weezer)
The instrumental is made by myself, and this song is used as my outros.
The artwork is made by myself, it's an homage to Kambara yoru no yuki (Pinkerton's cover).

>Original cover/parody made in response to being demonetized >Claimed and demonetized FUNKe your poor soul (edit follows) This has been getting a huge amount of attention since red shirt man made a video on copyright law. I like red shirt man, and the video is good, but I gotta clear some stuff up for the sake of my notification box. The copyright claim placed on this video was not made by Weezer or by someone with the rights to their music. You can find Funke mentioning this on the main channels community tab. I didn't follow the fallout but other comments seem to pin it on some smalltime Brazilian company that thrives off this. I am happy to see the claim has since been removed. There was the irony of a video about demonotization getting demonotized. Now there is a second layer, the irony of people getting miffed about incorrect critique of copyright law, when the critique was in fact about incorrect use of copyright law all along. (and yeah I know weezer should still have the right to dunk on this in some interpretations, but they haven't, cause we all just tryna be cool here and the cover slaps) Have a nice night everyone, thanks for coming to my ted talk.

My favourite part about this is that he doesn't call it a parody. It's a cover. A parody is defined as "an imitation of the style of a particular writer, artist, or genre with deliberate exaggeration for comic effect." Comedic effect. This isn't for comedic effect. This is real.

A parody, by definition, is an imitation that exaggerates the original for comedic effect, yes, but in musical terms a parody is just an imitation and doesn't particularly have to exaggerate for comedic effect. I still think this song is so f-ing good and beautiful and deserves all the acclaim it can get, but it's not a cover cuz he made his own lyrics. The only time this would count as a cover is when Funke uses the original chorus at the end to give a homage to the original.

I feel like I should say something. You can't make a song for only the money, or some other profit. It is always is done with passion. I feel like you can hear Justyn's voice and emotion resonate with this particular song in the entire mixtape. Mainly near the end where it turns in to a cover for the original song. He sounds as if he is going through something. I can also see the original song cover near the end as a thank you to everyone who stuck with him this long to remember that outro. Keep up the work, Justyn. Don't care if you post it here, on your main channel, or on a new channel made specifically for music. Just keep doing it. It's good. -A Long Time Viewer. Since 30k.

don't tell anyone but my greatest secret is this is my favorite song

[@cartown406]

im telling

[@conor_obrien]

I remember watching your videos when I was younger (probably only a year or two, iirc), and I realize that I’ve changed so much from who I was then. I saw this in my YT recommended and so I was like “heck I’m sick anyhow, why not”. and about two thirds of the way in, i was overwhelmed with nostalgia. it’s crazy but it took me back to a different time. I remember listening to your outro back then, not knowing who it was who sang it. I remember humming the tune and trying to remember the words, but I never could get the words perfect. to hear those words again in perfect clarity, after knowing more about music and life, it really quite moved me. and for that, I cannot thank you enough, funke. :D

[@nightknight-7768]

I genuinely think this has more spirit than the original. It’s great, man.

Funke, i want you to know that this and your cover of El Scorcho from forever ago are what got me into my weezer phase. Since then, i listen to a lot more and i wanna credit that to you. Pinkerton is still to this day one of my alltime favorite albums and if it werent for these parodies i would've never heard of it. Thank you
