A Funny Site of the Day with Mike Durrett

Whoa! This site shakes, rattles and pummels popular recording artists of the day and past century throughout numerous no-holds-barred animated parodies going straight for the jugular, the heart, the crotch, and, on at least one occasion, Herve "Tattoo" Villechaize.

Exaggerating the distinctive style of cable television's long-running anthology series, "VH1: Behind the Music", these fast-moving mockumentaries certainly commit to a goal of anarchic, lung gasp comedy. Not satisfied to churn out simple pastiches of political incorrectness, the creative team shrieks with an exhilarating display of mean-spirited vulgarity, profanity, sacrilege and violence. Ironically, modern day music is regularly that, so comeuppance is served.

It's only rock-and-roll, but I laugh at it.

Seventy Shockwave Flash Webtoons are currently skewering a wide zoo of artists, from Insane Clown Posse to Celine Dion, Bon Jovi, LL Cool J, Guns N Roses, Melissa Etheridge, Van Halen, Ted Nugent, Sting, Sisqo, Hanson, Garth Brooks, Mariah Carey, Garbage, Eminem, Kid Rock, Phish, Christina Aguilera, Tupac, Smashing Pumpkins, Oasis, Nine Inch Nails, Backstreet Boys, Tom Jones, Puff Daddy, Jewel, Marilyn Manson, Limp Bizkit, Dr. Dre, Will Smith, N'Sync, Billy Joel and Britney Spears.

Saddled with slow download times, at 56K and Turbo speeds, there are hours, possibly days, of entertainment at Heavy.com to view. So far, I've gravitated to the oddities. Among the highlights:

  • William Shatner creepy croons, auditions to become Fonzie and Captain Stubing, and hard pitches "Bid-on-Useless-Overpriced-Crap-Dot-Org."

  • Christian glam hams, Stryper, battle blasphemy and create it, then crusade to smite evil foes Rip Taylor and TV's "Webster."

  • Barbra Streisand directs a nose job on the Sphinx.

  • The Glenn Miller Band trumpets a World War II film, "They Died With Their Mutes On."

  • And there's even a Blooper reel, featuring outtakes from "Behind the Music That Sucks Goes to Hawaii" and "Baby Behind the Music That Sucks."
