oooo.

[Slade]

'White and Nerdy' is only the tip of the ice-berg. Check out 'Fat' (spoof of 'Bad'), 'Amish Paradise' (spoof of 'Ganster's Paradise'), 'Like A Surgeon' (spoof of 'Like A Virgin) and 'Smells like Nirvana' (spoof of 'Smells like Teen Spirit'). He's got crap loads of albums with a crap load of parodies :D

[Mitch]

Albuquerque is his best song by far. Epic.

[The Unknown Guru]

I love White and Nerdy. Amish Paradise is pretty good, too.

[Zeromus_X]

Amish Paradise=<3.

[Venom]

Amish Paradise=<3.

I think that by far is Weird Al's best song.

I listen to Weird Al all the time.

[ff7+ff10 gurl 100]

I think 'Fat' was hilarious. One of his best. Along with 'Amish Paradise'. <3 :bigsmile:

[Laddy]

My sister would kill Weird Al if she found out he spoofed Nirvana.

[look_out_below]

I love his songs Gump, the nirvana spoof and White and Nerdy.
Heres a link to the Gump Music Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BE95PgfeY9w)

[Ryushikaze]

Amish Paradise=<3.

I think that by far is Weird Al's best song.

I listen to Weird Al all the time.

"To any amish who were offended by my music video, I'd like to say WHAT ARE YOU DOING WATCHING TELEVISION? YOU'RE AMISH FOR FREAK'S SAKE!"

AlTV kicked ass.

[Jason]

You missed one and it's
'What If God Smoked Cannabis' By some lady and Al. Orginal song 'What if God was one of us'

[Elite Lord Sigma]

You missed one and it's
'What If God Smoked Cannabis' By some lady and Al. Orginal song 'What if God was one of us'Actually, Al had nothing to do with it at all. Many songs are mistakenly attributed to him due to their status as parodies of other songs. A good rule of thumb is that if it's vulgar or contains cursing, it's probably isn't one of his songs.

[Ryushikaze]

An easier rule of thumb is just looking at his list.

BTW, ELS, I get the feeling you missed one, but I'm not sure which.

[Elite Lord Sigma]

What about 'Oops I farted again' (Oops I did it again), The Ebay song (I want it that way)?The former song is also not his song, either. For some reason, a lot of the misattributed songs were actually done by a guy named Bob Rivers.

[Eminem's_No.1_Fan]

Who?

Weird Al Yankovich, he does hillarious covers of loadza songs, and I mean H-I-L-L-A-R-I-O-U-S.

[Flying Mullet]

He was referring to Brian Carper.

[Dr Unne]

Close this thread.

[Samuraid]

Weird Al's music is great. :D

[Spammerman]

What about the devil went down to jamaica?
Who wrote pretty fly for a jedi? My music says that him too.
