Favorite Weird Al Yankovic Parodies

[(Anonymous)]

Weird Al received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today, and I've fallen down a rabbit hole of his videos. What's everyone's favorite parody he's done?

Re: Favorite Weird Al Yankovic Parodies

[(Anonymous)]

Aw, congrats to Weird Al!

I'll always love "Amish Paradise" :). I think that's the first parody of his I can recall hearing. And "White and Nerdy" is awesome as well. Donny Osmond dancing around in the video is hysterical.

Oh God, I have to pick one? Um... Jurassic Park (MacArthur Park), or Christmas at Ground Zero.

Re: Favorite Weird Al Yankovic Parodies

White and Nerdy, The Saga Begins, and Like a Surgeon.

one of four: white n nerdy, dare to be stupid, smells like nirvana or you're pitiful

the more al i listen to the more i realise most of his stuff isn't actually parodies, just nicking the music to sing about something else over (e.g. couch potato, which isn't a parody of lose yourself so much as just a borrowing - although one could argue that putting lyrics about subjects as banal as tv or food in the place of lyrics that might once have been meaningful is itself a parodic act)

Re: Favorite Weird Al Yankovic Parodies

Smells Like Nirvana is great!

Re: Favorite Weird Al Yankovic Parodies

[kaijinscendre]

White and Nerdy for the references and cameos. https://youtu.be/N9qYF9DZPdw

Amish Paradise because I like the original songs beat. https://youtu.be/lOfZLb33uCg

The Saga Begins is my least favorite because I knew a guy who would ALWAYS sing its lyrics when American Pie came on.

Re: Favorite Weird Al Yankovic Parodies

Oi, so hard to pick just one. Amish Paradise, probably, though I also love White and Nerdy, The Saga Begins, All About the Pentiums, Bedrock Anthem… So many!

Re: Favorite Weird Al Yankovic Parodies

[nightscale]

Smells like Nirvana, Ebay, Amish Paradise, White and Nerdy.

Re: Favorite Weird Al Yankovic Parodies

[greghousesgf]

mostly not a fan of his but I do like White and Nerdy and Everything You Know Is Wrong (which isn't even a parody of any other song)

Re: Favorite Weird Al Yankovic Parodies

[(Anonymous)]

One More Minute, Amish Paradise, Eat It, Another One Rides The Bus, Happy Birthday To You, Yoda

Re: Favorite Weird Al Yankovic Parodies

[rosehiptea]

Oh man Another One Rides The Bus. Brings me back to my misspent youth listening to Dr. Demento. (I'm old.)

I like Dare to be Stupid.

Re: Favorite Weird Al Yankovic Parodies

[(Anonymous)]

Sa

I listened to Dr. Demento too, howdy, fellow Olde!

Re: Favorite Weird Al Yankovic Parodies

[(Anonymous)]

All the ones he did for The Simpsons. My favorite, even if it wasn't full length, was "Brain Freeze".

Re: Favorite Weird Al Yankovic Parodies

[(Anonymous)]

Really? I'm so happy for him!

Parodies: White and nerdy, the Saga Begins, Smells Like Nirvana, Jurassic Park, Ode to a Superhero, Whatever You Like

Original: The Night Santa Went Crazy, Genius in France, Don't Download this Song, You Don't Love Me Anymore

Re: Favorite Weird Al Yankovic Parodies

[(Anonymous)]

The video for Don't Download This Song is epic.
All of those prisoners in stripes dancing with the sharks...
...I may need to watch it again soon.

"Amish Paradise," because you can't beat a hook by Stevie Wonder.

"Tacky," "Like a Surgeon," "Smells like Nirvana."
