Can I pick them all please?

I simply can't pick.  I love all of his works.

I have been a fan of Al, even before he got a record contract.  I own every one of his CDs, and am eagerly awaiting Sept 27, when his newest CD hits the street.

Some of his best work was on his first album, and that is missing here.  Stop Driving My Car Around, Mr. Frump In The Iron Lung, Gotta Boogie, and Such A Groovy Guy are nowhere to be found on the list.  And of course "Nature Trail To Hell (In 3-D)".

Living With A Hernia is one of my favorites.

It's hard to pick.  Renegade Retro probably has all those tracks.

I chose "Theme From Rocky XIII", "Eat It", "I Want A New Duck" "This Song Is Just Six Words Long" and "Isle Thing".

Being a BIG Game Show fan, I had to go for "I Lost on Jeopardy".  The part where Don Pardo tells Al what he didn't win was great ;D

Eat It"
"Like A Surgeon"
"Beverly Hillbillies"

"Fat"

In the 90s, Weird Al used to come to Canada and take over MuchMusic (Our version of MTV) and call it Weird Al TV.  There was one bit he did that killed me.  He comes on the screen wearing black glasses and a sweatshirt with the hood up.  Then they put up a split screen with the sketch of the Una-bomber, and the likeness was uncanny.  The next thing you know, the cops come into the MuchMusic Studio and haul Al away ;D

He did ALTV on MTV here in the U.S. in the 80's as well.

You left out my all time fav.
Y.o.d.a. off of Lola.

i met him in a swamp down in dagoba, where it bubbles all the time like giant carbonated soda... s... o... d....a soda.
I saw a little Rep sitting there on a log. i asked him a name and in a rusty voice he said Yoda. y...o....d....a yoda.

The song was sung with great emotion, you'd swear it was a folk song. if I ever go on Jay Leno, I'd sing this song.

;D






I would have listed that one if "Lola" was actually an 80's song.  This poll is specifically for 80's songs that Weird Al parodied  ;)

Yeah, sorry about that :-[

Those are my five overall favorite Weird Al songs. Guess I should've been paying more attention :-\\

hey!!! What about "I Lost on Jeopardy"

All of these above. But I think one of my all time favorites has to be "I Lost on Jeopardy". Two other of his songs that weren't parodies that I really like are "Gonna Buy me a Condo" and "One More Minute".

Another one rides the bus.  My first 45 was of Eat It.  The B side was Slime Creatures from Outer Space. :)

Another One Rides the Bus
I Love Rocky Road
I Lost on Jeopardy
Ricky
Brady Bunch

Say, give it up, give it up, television's taking its toll
That's enought, that's enough, gimme the remote controll
I been nice, I been good, please don't do this to me
Turn it off, turn it off, I don't want to have to see

The Brady Bunch
Not The Brady Bunch...

My sentiments exactly!  The Brady Bunch is one of a few TV shows I can't bear to watch for more than about sixty seconds!
::)
