Teenage tragedy themes would continue to chart through the 1970s. In 1979, the Boomtown Rats' "I Don't Like Mondays",[20] inspired by the Grover Cleveland school shooting in San Diego earlier that year,[21] reached No. 1 in the U.K., and No. 4 in Canada.[22]The Smiths' 1987 song "Girlfriend in a Coma" also took inspiration from teenage tragedy songs. Some songs merely updated the sound of the previous era, such as "Racing Car" by Dutch group Air Bubble (1976), while others used the melodic and stylistic tropes of teen tragedy in tougher, grittier settings, as in the Ramones' "You're Gonna Kill That Girl" (1977) and "7-11" (1981), and the Misfits' "Saturday Night" (1999). "Teen Idle" by Marina and the Diamonds (2012), evoking an archetype of disenfranchised youth, is a thematic heir to the original teen tragedy oeuvre.[23]
Parodies
Notable parodies of teenage tragedy songs over the decades have included:
"Let's Think About Living" (1960), with Bob Luman mocking then-current musical trends, and trying to steer listeners away from the fascination with teenage death songs and gunfighter ballads.
"Valerie", a 1961 doo-wop styled teen tragedy spoof by the Mark III, a young folk trio.[24]
"All I Have Left is Johnny's Hubcap" on the 1962 parody album, Mad “Twists” Rock ’n’ Roll, produced in association with Mad magazine.
トム・チャピンとマイケル・マークは、チャピンの1994年のアルバム『So Nice To Come Home』のために、「バトルビーストとバービー」というティーンエイジャーの悲劇の歌のパロディを書いた。60年代のガールズグループの悲劇のバラードのパロディ風に書かれたこの曲は、「偶然出会って恋に落ちた」2つのプラスチックのおもちゃが登場するが、バトルビーストは学校のプロムで「ケン」に撃たれてしまう。
