I don't know if I would call teenpop singer Jordan Pruitt's kinda-cute, sanitized-for-the-kids take on Nickelback's "Rockstar" a parody, like she does—although I did awkwardly chuckle at the line where she says she can't fit into any of the clothes she's given gratis because she actually eats—but I figured it was worth a post, if only because a) I have a feeling that we're going to see a lot more of these where this came from (my money's on Big & Rich being next) and b) I really think it's ironic that the "rock star" ideal has such a hold on people during a time when the music industry is pretty much in the crapper, Lyor Cohen helicopter excursions aside. Is this what they call "keeping the lie alive"?

I think there's so much ironic self-awareness in the Nickelback version and in "Party Like A Rock Star," that it's more like flipping a stereotype. Those songs are more like Dave Chappelle routines than anything.
