A (Good) Lorde (Kansas City) "Royals" Parody

Lorde's been getting a lot of attention lately.

The singer has been parodied in the current season of South Park (she's Randy Marsh apparently) and her single "Royals" has become popular in Kansas City with the Royals making the World Series for the first time since 1985. Lorde actually said that Royal great, George Brett, was an inspiration for the song, when she saw him in National Geographic.

Either way, it can lead to a lot of bad parodies on YouTube (Iggy Azella's "Fancy" is a great example). Simply put, very cringe-worthy.

This one is actually good, and it was done back in the winter.

The parody, done by John Leslie Long, is well-written, well-produced and doesn't have any cringe moments.

Nice work, Mr. Long.
 

UPDATE: This is kind of disturbing, but it makes a good point. Most of can't name three Royals players. An honorable mention for "Box Score" host Brock Everett, the post-show that Dan Patrick's Dannettes do on Direct TV's Audience Network.
