The Fringemunks present "Brown Betty" music video - parody medley of all songs featured in episode

The Fringemunks recap all episodes of FOX sci-fi TV series "Fringe" with song parodies. In 2010, they (and creator/producer David Wu) were faced with the challenge of recapping the musical episode, "Brown Betty," which contained performances of several songs.

So how did they do it? A parody medley! ... consisting of The Rolling Stones' "Brown Sugar" and the songs featured in the show. Clocking in at 9 minutes, 11 seconds, it is the longest Fringemunks song to date.  Now, almost two years later, the Fringemunks have released a new music video for the song:


Parody lyrics, all instruments & production by David Wu
Story by Jeff Pinkner, Joel Wyman & Akiva Goldsman

Parodied songs:
  • "Brown Sugar" [The Rolling Stones] - music composed by Mick Jagger & Keith Richards
  • "Roundabout" [Yes] - music composed by Jon Anderson & Steve Howe
  • "Head over Heels" [Tears for Fears] - music composed by Roland Orzabal & Curt Smith
