Katy Brand - Rihanna - Bad Spella
Back in 2012, Katy Brand delivered a humorous take on Rihanna's hit songs with her comical sketch titled "Bad Spella," which has resurfaced amid the nostalgia of musical parodies. In this piece, Brand effectively captures the essence of Rihanna's music while satirizing it with clever puns and misinterpreted lyrics, making it both entertaining and relatable for fans of both artists.
While the video doesn't provide a transcript, viewers can expect to enjoy a blend of catchy tunes and visual gags, typical of Brand's comedic style. The skit is infused with playful energy, often showcasing her knack for transforming mainstream hits into memorable comedic moments.

For those who appreciate music and comedy, this video is a delightful throwback. What are your favorite music parodies from that era? Share your thoughts and let’s explore more comedic treasures from the past!

This clip features Katy Brand's memorable Rihanna parody from her ITV2 comedy show, spoofing the iconic music video for Umbrella with a track titled Bad Spella. Dressed in the signature black leather outfit against dramatic studio backlighting, she perfectly mimics Rihanna's poses and sultry camera stares while delivering a absurd rewrite where every line is forced to rhyme with -ella. As the track progresses, the visual gags come thick and fast: around 0:51 she holds up a pint of Stella, followed closely by a copy of Bella magazine, pointing at her own patella on a wooden stool at 0:59, chatting up a Paul Weller impersonator, flipping through a Nigella Lawson cookbook, and holding a floating model of a propeller.
It is a fantastic snapshot of late-2000s British TV comedy that hits the nail on the head. Katy Brand nailed the vocal stylings and music video mannerisms of the era so well that the sheer ridiculousness of the rhyming dictionary lyrics lands every single joke.
