In light of the recent spate of parodies spurred by Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines and the Mumford and Sons' brilliant parody of itself with Hopeless Wanderer, Enstars picked some of the best -- from the comical to the outright weird and the subversive to the bitterly vengeful -- song parodies/takedowns by celebrities and musicians in the past.

1. Stephen Colbert parodying Rebecca Black's Friday (Featuring the Roots, Jimmy Fallon, and Taylor Hicks)

Looking dapper in a tuxedo, a rather stern-faced Stephen Colbert gave this melancholic rendition on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon about the weekly trials of being a teenager. "Got to be fresh/got to go downstairs/got to have my bowl/got to have me cereal," he crooned. Leading up to the refrain, he sang about the redeeming weekend -- "Friday, Friday/Getting out on Friday/Everybody's Looking forward to the weekend" -- where Colbert relents a skip in his step. The Roots bring some swagger on board, while Jimmy Fallon and Taylor Hicks (American Idol) help get the party started.

2. Alanis Morissette parodying the Black Eyed Peas' My Humps

Fergie did what came naturally to her with My Humps, flaunting her assets and turning the groovy on. Adorning a whole lot of bling, Morissette traded the dance-pop for a sentimental ballad to which she could grind in slo-mo. Watch her take down of Fergie's rompalicious hit:

3. James Franco parodying Justin Bieber's Boyfriend (featuring Franco's girlfriend Ashley Benson)

With no interest in investing on producing the parody, Franco just recorded this video at home with his girlfriend Benson. Franco wears Bieber's signature cap and a blond wig. The video got all kinds of reactions from it being weird to Bieber actually being offended by it. Franco did eventually apologize to Bieber.

Around the release of Spring Breakers, Franco also parodied a song (Love You like a Love Song) by his co-star in the film and Bieber's ex Selena Gomez.

4. John Mayer parodying Nelly Furtado and Timbaland's Say it Right

Mayer has always been known for nailing impressions of other musicians, but he really took it up a notch by parodying Furtado's Say it Right, with his re-worded spin about bad plumbing, presenting Chocolate Rain:

5. Sporty Thievz's take down of TLC's No Scrubs

In the Nineties, the R&B girl band TLC had some issues with certain kind of men, so they wrote a song about it. The Sporty Thievz didn't quite appreciate TLC's terse rejection of these kind of men on No Scrubs ("I don't want no scrub/A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me"). So the New York-based hip-hop group decided to actually record a brand new song, designed purely as a comeback, they crafted -- almost word for word -- equally if not more of a sexist rebuttal with No Pigeons: "I don't want no pigeons/Them be them girls who gets no dubs from me." It was quite the battle of the sexes:

6. Amanda Palmer and Margaret Cho parody Katy Perry's I Kissed a Girl

Katy Perry's breakout single was quite the rage when it came out. Amanda Palmer and her friend, comedienne and fellow gay rights activist, Margaret Cho, seem to have been deeply offended by what they perceived as a frivolous dalliance on Perry's part, which undermined the seriousness of gay issues. Their dismissiveness channelled a lot of aggression in this live gothified parody of the song that Palmer pulled off on stage at one of her performances.

7. The Mumford and Sons parodying themselves on Hopeless Wanderer with a little help from some very special friends -- Jason Bateman, Will Forte, Ed Helms and Jason Sudeikis.

This one definitely takes the cake. Mumford and Sons enlisted a bunch of comedy geniuses -- Jason Bateman, Will Forte, Ed Helms and Jason Sudeikis -- to work this parody of themselves on Hopeless Wanderer. Get a dose of the schmaltziest bunch of country hillbillies:
