The Pizza Underground

The Pizza Underground was an American alternative band formed in 2013, known for parodying The Velvet Underground’s music while humorously rewriting their lyrics about pizza. The band, comprising former members of The Velvet Underground and other musicians, aimed to blend indie rock with comedic, food-themed reinterpretations of classic songs like “Sweet Jane” and “I'm Waiting for the Man.” Their approach was playful and satirical, appealing to fans of both indie music and humor. Despite gaining some attention, the band was short-lived, disbanding by 2014, and is primarily remembered for its quirky concept and lighthearted tribute to Lou Reed-era rock.
