His parody of "Complicated" is called "A Complicated Song".

A Stylized parody is an original song that plays in the style of a certain band(like "Germs", which is styled after Nine Inch Nails), although I guess his polka medleys are almost like style parodies.

Mr. Popeil is in the B-52's style, but it's obvious that Weird Al is the one that's singing. They needed to do their homework.

I know.  And the funny thing was, it was my tape that was playing at the time!  My buddy listened for a few seconds, and said "Hey, that must be a new B-52's song!"  Granted, this was in 1990, and their "Cosmic Thing" CD had just been released (which I also owned).

I tried to tell him it was Weird Al, and he said no way, it is the B-52's.  I even told him it was my tape so I should know who it was.  He finally said "I know it's the B-52's, I bet ya $20 it's the B-52's."

I finally took his bet, then took the tape out of my radio and handed it to him.  I would have let it go at that, but he made the bet in front of 3 other people, and they razzed him about it.  He paid me, because the last thing you want to be known as in the military is somebody who welches on bets.

That would be bad. I'm not a betting guy myself(and others have tried to get me to bet).
