Satire and Irony in Music

Satire and Irony are used very often in music to indirectly make fun of or criticize someone or something. The following songs and videos exemplify how satire and irony is used in music.

The video is the music video to Eminem's- We Made You. It has satire and irony within the song and video. There is a lot of satire that can be overlooked if the listener listens to the song and not the lyrics. It seems like hes giving the people mentioned in his song respect, while he is actually making fun of them, and what they do for attention. Eminem uses this to make his song funny, yet true at the same time. The video directly shows the satire in the song because Eminem wanted people to understand why he made the song which is obvious if the listener didn't hear it in the lyrics. media type="youtube" key="7CiuakGOouU" height="315" width="500" [Talking] Guess who?

This song is satirical, because it makes fun of how Chamillionaire thinks that he is the top dog, and "runs" eveyrthing. Weird Al has made many parodies like this one to express his humor in music. media type="youtube" key="7jumXhcTXUY" height="285" width="340"
