‘This Is a Trent Reznor Song’ Singer Makes Perfect NIN Spoof Video
It takes a certain talent to spoof a band’s style without coming off as corny or idiotic. It takes a master to build on that spoof with the perfect accompanying video.
Earlier this year, comedian Freddy Scott released the Nine Inch Nails parody track, “This Is a Trent Reznor Song,” encapsulating frontman Trent Reznor’s penchant for odd percussion, eerie pianos and shifting vocal dynamics ranging from hushed to screaming. Now, he goes one step further, releasing a music video lampooning Reznor’s mid-Nineties Lynchian-meets-Victorian visual style.
Perfect indeed with not only the music and lyrics but also the dances moves, the gripping microphone and head shakes.
you probably didn't know, but in a period when i wasn't communicating with you very much, i was hanging out with a buddy who like the NIN. i was getting high, etc, and we watched a NIN concert video.
this parody was so spot on. i wouldn't have been able to tell the difference.
