Needing a break from writing tasks today...
Okay, I have to confess that the title "Game of Thrones" isn't very interesting - it didn't get me paying attention. Then, I found the graphic comic books of the first book - and was quickly addicted!
I've read the first four books, and stopped when I realized that the TV series was rapidly outstripping George R.R. Martin's ability to write them! I've only watched the first season thus far - I don't have HBO nor the resources to be buying everything. I will be catching up via the library really soon though...
But that hasn't stopped me loving all the parodies that have erupted from this amazing series!
(Note: GoT isn't family-friendly - as such, some of these selections aren't particularly family-safe either.)
Game of Thrones Parody - I'm the ONE - from Heidi Mae
Beautiful vocals, fun video which encapsulates what Game of Thrones is all about - everyone who says they are the only one qualified to sit on the Iron Throne...
John Snow - Wildings ft. Ygritte from The Electric Pancakes
Beautifully vocalized, beautifully filmed. It's very much worth a watch. A parody based on the style of Flo Rida.
Hello, Game of Thrones Parody from Perfectly Serious
First of all, I love the mug: "Please do not annoy the writer. He may put you in a book and kill you." (I need this!)
The video is an excellent mimic of the original Hello video, but pulling in Game of Thrones more like a well-done mashup.
A Character I Used to Know from Not Literally
Fun video, well done and vocalized. Not too many spoilers on this one if you've at least got through season 1.
I have enjoyed most of what Not Literally did - and am saddened that they don't seem to be making videos anymore.
Today's WTF selection!
Well, not quite WTF, but it's always good to have another view from the author's perspective...
George R.R. Martin's Blank Page - from Nerdist
Fun video, not necessarily the best vocals, but well within character. It echoes the mug I mentioned earlier...
Today's Grand Finale!
Game of Thrones Medley - from The Warp Zone
This medley will come back in other forays as I explore other parodies made from each of the four constituent parts of this one. The vocals are excellent, the video wonderful - I will come back to this one regularly, I already know!
That's it for today! I hope you had as much fun as I did!
As usual, I'm simply sharing YouTube videos on a theme, all rights remain with the original.

sharing other peoples video is spamming.
Flagged for spam
@steemflagrewards
No. 1 - Spamming is a different thing than what you've declared.
No. 2 - This is a music discovery thing - comparing/contrasting different pieces of work and sharing so that other people can also discover it - bonus - the originals get extra views!
No. 3 - at no time did I declare the videos to be my original work - in fact, I include the artists' names in the heading and a disclaimer at the bottom reminding people that I do not claim any of the rights.
No. 4 - my work of this nature has been approved many times by manual curators at @esteemapp and @illuminati-inc with the support of @curie
No. 5 - your retaliation does not excuse your offenses. I put actual work into my posts rather than posting a single image belonging to someone else hoping to gain/profit from it.
Next time pick on someone of an equal or lower IQ (if you can find anyone.)
I have given you upvote for your work in comment.
I appreciate your gesture.
I would love to be able to upvote your work in the future - but first it has to be your work... or well-sourced with fair-use rights, but most importantly, you should add value.
When you do this, the steemflagrewards community will stop going after you and probably start upvoting you instead.
thanks
