Do any of you like to listen to parodys' of songs, well here ya go. His anme is Wierd Al Yankovich, and he makes amazing parody's of songs. Like Micheal Jackson's "Beat it" is now Wierd Al's "Eat it".
I really have liked these songs and will listen to the songs whenever I here one.
Amish Paradise from the song Ganster Paridise is one of my Favorites^^. I also get Ebay stuck in my head during hockey.
"A used, pink bathrobe, a rare, mint snowglobe, a smurf, tv tray... What I bought on Ebay".
"My house, is filled with, this crap, shows up in bubble wrap, most every day, what I bought on Ebay".Nevermind that, my point is, Wierd AL ruleZ, witha capital Z.
You guys make me remember all my favorite songs.
Ebay
Like a Sergeon
Fat
Lasgana
The rye or the Kyser(or however you spell it)
Eat it
White and Nerdy
Trapped in the Drive-thru
I lost on Jeopardy
Addicted to Spuds
I love Rocky Road
Amish Paradise(I can recite the whole song)

I love Wierd Al!!! I like the song that remade thats called Lump but he remade it to Gump, from the movie Forest Gump(Which is an awesome movie). I also like White an Nerdy and Fat. But I do like some of the other ones that he made!

I'm a big Weird Al fan. His songs are just pure genius. My favorites are Eat it, Ebay, Ode to the Superhero (Spider Man themed parody of Piano Man), The Saga Begins, and White & Nerdy. I absolutely love them.

Of course. He does a great job at parodying great songs. Personally my favorite is Smells Like Nirvana.

It is amazing how it matches so well, musically and visually.

I respect him as an artist and I do laugh at some of his songs...but I do not own any of them.
I like original funny songs, like Kelly (Shoes, Let Me Borrow That Top, Txt Msg Brkup, No Booty Calls) more than parodies.

I think his songs are among the funniest there have ever been. White and Nerdy, Amish Paradise, and Ebay are hillarious, and I get a laugh every time I listen to them.

What is really funny about that song is the people who get all indignant over the song.

Weird Al is great. I think my favorites are "White and Nerdy" and "Ebay". "Pretty Fly" was the first song I heard from him years ago and I still enjoy it.

Since you guys showed me Smells like Nirvana, I decided to buy it on itunes. Ahh, what a great song. Yes, he is a very creative man, it seems like he doesn't struggle at all just to make a new song. Or that's is what I think.

i like wierd al my favorite is fat i like a lot other of his
I've been a fan of his for a very long time. He was really the first artist I would say I was a fan of growing up. "Yoda" is my favorite, and not just my favorite Weird Al song but one of my favorite songs in general as well.
One cool thing about listening to Weird Al is whenever you first hear the parody of a song before you hear the real version. Then you are confused when you hear the real song and easily screw up the lyrics in your head.

I loved this guy! I think I might start lisining to him again.
This is my favorite lyric in a song ever;
Dare to be stupid!
I can't hear you!
Dare to be stupid!
OK I can hear you now!

I had the privilege of seeing Weird Al live at the Illinois State Fair back in 2008. I'm a huge Al fan, and the concert was terrific! Everything he does is downright hilarious, and I just got his new album the other day. It's great!

He's a genius, has been for decades. Unfortunately these days there are a LOT of parodies on the web which are wrongly credited to Weird Al (none of which were listed in this thread :) ). Anyway, my contributions of actual Weird Al songs:
Another One Rides the Bus (Parody of Queen's Another One Bites the Dust): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmEEnWEaeRk
Livin' in the Fridge (Parody of Aerosmith's Livin' on the Edge): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPJ1Wuj5l44
Girls Just Wanna Have Lunch (Parody of Cyndi Lauper's Girls Just Wanna Have Fun): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Rti4YglT4E
And my fave of his which already has been mentioned in the thread, Fat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yT8fSD1XjzE
