Pop Terrorism

Passing Stones - **** Me Up - watch more funny videos

I first stumbled across Santeri Ojala's unique brand of pop terrorism last year from a link on the brilliant Peter Serafinowicz's home page. His Youtube clips of Iconic guitar players soloing, overdubbed with his own ludicrous Les Dawsonesque twiddling have become legendary. They have been viewed by millions of unsuspecting browsers looking for clips of their favourite players, and many more who already get the joke. This new video of The Rolling Stones' 'Start Me Up', however, takes the mockery and comedy to a new level. Ojala's soundtrack, sounding something like Klaus Nomi singing surreal and mildly obscene lyrics with a hybrid band consisting of Focus and Can members, is set to the classic video. Subtitles and a disparaging audience laughter track are added to heighten the mirth, and a mini-masterpiece is made.
Is it morally reprehensible to take an artist's original work and modify it in this fashion? after all many of Ojala's videos don't only parody the artist but, i assume, break copyright or intellectual property laws by changing the original version. Many of his videos are tagged as the original clip. Are there other examples out there where this form of 'terrorism' has occurred? Right or wrong, this is one funny video.
