"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?

Anyone know the name of the film he was in about him running his own tv program? It was great and hav'nt seen it for years.

amish paradise. Smells like nirvana is quality. American Jedi and what if god smoked cannabis are all good.

best weird al tune, by far = cats in the kettle

"I Like Big Butts
... This song is by an individual named "Sir Mix-A-Lot"."

What. A. Moron.

Some stupid people put his name against them when they added them to their MP3 collections. Most of them are by the 'Bob Rivers Group' another parody band that tends to do dirtier parodies that just aren't as good.

So how come they're credited to him? Did he write, them, produce them or what?

Though some of those aren't his (Beer song, Backstreet Boy etc), they are just put against his name on download sites.

Woah, welcome to the early 90s!

I reccomend that you listen to Ugly Girl, Like A Surgeon, Genius In France, Yoda, The Beer Song, A Complicated Song, Smells Like Nirvana (A masterstroke), eBay and Which Backstreet Boy is Gay. When it comes to parodies and ridiculousness, Weird Al is your man.

Best song is his original 'you don't love me anymore' You may have heard it as the Iron Brew song in the old adverts.

Then, possibly, the fan favorite Yoda (a parody of Lola), The Saga Begins (A Star Wars parody of American Pie) and Armish Paradise and all his Polka songs, one on each album.
