cbacon 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2006 Smells Like Nirvana was probably his greatest parody/video. And yeah, the Japan line in Eat It always gets a laugh out of me too. I need to find copies of all the Al Music episodes he did on MTV and Much back in the day. Managed to find one when he was promoting Bad Hair Day when I was digging through old tapes about a year ago. Good times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C Dubya 04 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2006 If we're going by videos here, I'd go with Smells Like Nirvana or Amish Paradise. For just songs I really like "The Saga Continues" and the two above plus any Polka Your Eyes Out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2006 he did a song that's on the same album as the Nirvana goof where he does a medley of songs that were popular at that time and does it all in Polka...it's great!

Pentiums was his theme. So, that gets my nod. I'd forgotten how good Weird Al could be, actually. I pretty well overdid it when I owned Bad Hair Day, but upon hearing Alapalooza again after a few years, good stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Metal Maniac 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2006 "Smells Like Nirvana" is his most bang-on parody, I think. Because I'm a nerd, here are the lyrics. What is this song all about? Can't figure any lyrics out How do the words to it go? I wish you'd tell me I don't know Now I'm mumbling, and I'm screaming! And I don't know, what I'm singing Crank the volume, ears are bleeding I still don't know, what I'm signing We're so loud and incoherent Boy this outta bug your parents It's unintelligible I just can't get it through my skull It's hard to bargle nawdle zouss With all these marbles in my mouth Well we don't sound like Madonna Here we are now; we're Nirvana! Sing distictintly? We don't wanna Buy our album - we're Nirvana! A garage band from Seattle Well it sure beats raising cattle And I forgot the next verse Oh well, I guess it pays to rehearse The lyric sheets, so hard to find What are the words? Oh nevermind Well I'm yelling and we're playing And I don't know what I'm saying What's the message I'm conveying? Can you tell me what I'm saying? So if you've got some idea Didn't think so; well, I'll see ya! Good stuff. You know, off the top of my head, I can't even think of any other parodies he did that were making fun of the song itself, and not just using the song to make fun of something else.

The Metal Maniac 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2006 First time that I tried it Got a big sugar buzz Nothing gets me high as that sandwich cookie does But I love the filling most I rub it on my roast Mix it in with my coffee and spread it on my toast Dammit, that's gonna be stuck in my head all night. Shit, I just remembered one of my favourite Weird Al songs..."When I Was Your Age" There were seventy-three of us, living in a cardboard box All I got for Christmas was a lousy bag of rocks Ever night for dinner, we had a big ol' chunk of dirt If we were really good, we didn't get dessert Good times. Shit, what was that other one..."The Good Old Days" Do you remember good ol' Mr. Fender Who ran the corner grocery store? Well he'd stroll down the aisle with a big friendly smile And he'd say howdy when you walked in the door Always treated me nice, gave me kindly advice I don't know why I set fire to his place Oh, I'll never forget the day I bashed in his head You shoulda seen the look on his face Yes, I spent a sad amount of my life listening to Weird Al.

Gary Floyd 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2006 Now that I think about tit, "Whu Does This Always Happen To Me?" is great too was watching my TV one night when they broke in with a special report About some devistating earthquake in Peru There were thirty thousand crushed to death, even more were buried alive On the Richter scale it measured 8.2 And I said, "God, please answer me one question?" "Why'd they have to interrupt 'The Simpsons' just for this?" What a drag, 'cause I was taping it and everything And now I'll have to wait for the rerun to see the part of the show I missed Why does this always happen? Why does this always happen to me? Why does this always happen? (Why) Why does this always happen to me? Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba I was driving down the highway when all the traffic slowed to a crawl There was a twelve-car pile-up, everybody dead And I saw brains and guts and vital organs splattered everywhere As well as my friend Robert's disembodied head And I thought - Poor Rob, I just had lunch with him Hey, wait a minute, he still owes me money - what a jerk Well, there's five bucks that I'm never gonna see again Plus now, on top of everything else, it looks like I'm gonna be late to work Why does this always happen? Why does this always happen to me? Why does this always happen? (Why) Why does this always happen to me? Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba Ba ba ba ba, ba ba Oh, the other day, my boss said we were running low on toner And he told me I should buy another case Well, I told him I was busy, but he still just kept on asking So, I turned around and stabbed him in the face (right in the face) Oh, and wouldn't you know it, my knife got stuck I guess that's probably bound to happen now and then But I'm afraid I may have bent the tip a little And I know that blade will never ever be quite as sharp again (quite as sharp again) Oh, tell me Why does this always happen?

The Amazing Rando 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2006 Oof... I own way too much Weird Al stuff... I will go favorites by the albums I own... In 3-D: Nature Trail To Hell (In 3-D) or The Theme From Rocky XIII Off The Deep End: Airline Amy or Trigger Happy Alapalooza: Jurassic Park or Frank's 2000" TV Bad Hair Day: Amish Paradise, Everything You Know Is Wrong, I Remember Larry, or The Night Santa Went Crazy Running With Scissors: The Saga Begins, Your Horoscope For Today, or Albuquerque I also own "Al In A Box" which is his 4 disc box set. It has alot of stuff I don't have from his other albums, including "Headline News". Overall I think I own 100 or so total songs, and I had Poodle Hat downloaded but lost it in a hard drive crash. I can listen to most of the albums all the way through and sing along (even though it's been YEARS since I've actually done that) but apparently Bad Hair Day is my favorite.

Conspiracy_Victim 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2006 Yeah I've got his last....4 CDs and the "Al In a Box" set. A lot of Al. I actually like his own creations more than his parodies. Christmas at Ground Zero and Spend One More Minute especially. However, I will give special note to The Saga Begins, since it's based on my favorite song ever. As for videos, I'll go with All About the Pentiums. Drew Carrey = winner. Good work on the lyrics lovecraft, but don't forget the Ben Folds piano solo before the 3rd verse.
