"Weird Al Yankovic"

Heard "Gump" today. Never really paid much attention to Weird Al in the past, but this was genius.

I think went on to watch the MJ "I'm fat" parody. Also genius.

So, those of you that like him, what are his top 10 songs- either for comical value or because they actually sound good?

He did Hot in Herre at the MTV awards or something didn't he. As well as a rip of Enrique's "Hero".

Good stuff.

Trash day is good, his parody of Hot in herre by Nelly.

(and Living in the fridge is ace aswell)

Yoda is absolutely genius, as is Smells Like Nirvana. Ahaha.

Gump is still funny, for the pure randomness of the song.

the gansters paradise rip off song, that was brilliant

Eat It and Smells like Nirvana are quality. The lyrics are actually good and I think they have music videos. Well, I know they do :)

The Complicated song is awesome, whoever wrote it.
