About

Parody. Cruise. Music. Travel. Cooking. Shenanigans. Repeat. Salutations! We are Dee & Jay of the House ParoDeeJay, first of our names, makers of songs, cruisers of ships, the sometimes-sunburnt, creators of nonsense, vloggers of randomness, and parents of kitties. We started our YouTube journey in 2013 as a way to release homemade, no-budget parody and cover songs, and eventually added videos on cooking, challenges, gaming, travel & more. Basically, our channel is a big ol' mixed bag of things that we enjoy, and we hope you'll join us for some crazy adventures!! :D
