A parody is defined as a literary or musical work in which the style of the author or work is closely imitated for comic effect or in ridicule. The concept dates back to Ancient Greek literature, as Hegemon of Thasos was credited with being the first guy to change the words of poems to make them funny.

Chris is a big fan of music; he listens to tracks from many genres and decades, though mostly pop and rock from the 1980s through the 2010s. At first glance, his eclectic taste in music is not too unconventional. It's the ways he's presented his taste over the years that are pretty unconventional – most people understand that a Guitar Hero controller is not a real instrument, but Chris isn't most people.

Chris is also infamous for overestimating his singing ability and music recording methods, despite having trouble remembering the lyrics, melodies, the pitch, and even the instruments used in his favorite songs. Nevertheless, Chris has dabbled in music production, with over sixty covers, parodies, and "original" songs. He loves music so much, he is turned on by the very concept of it.
