..."Poodle Hat", great stuff...

I want to share bits and pieces of a few, for discussion and laughter by all!

Couch Potato
Parody of "Lose Yourself" by Eminem

Look * If you had * One shot * To sit on your lazy butt * And watch all the TV you ever wanted * Until your brain turned to mush * Would you go for it? * Or just let is slip? * Yo * Remote is ready * Eyes wide, palms are sweaty <snip>

My butt is aching * As I watch NASCAR Racing * That show about undertaking * Larry King * To 24 to Law & Order * The Weather Channel's boring like 60 Minutes' ancient reporters Next up on E~ True hollywood Story * The rise and decline of 12 actors names Corey.....

A Complicated Song
Parody of "Complicated" by Avril Lavigne
(this song has a few different parts, but here is the chorus for one of them)
Tell me * How was I supposed to know we were both related? * Believe me, if I knew she was my cousin we never would have dated * What to do now? Should I go ahead and propose * And get hitched and have kids with eleven toes 8 And move to ALabama where that kind of thing is tolerated? * No no no

Ode To A Superhero
Parody of "Piano Man" by Billy Joel

Sling us a web * you're the Spider-Man * Sling us a web tonight * `Cause
we're all in the mood for a here now * And there's evil-doers to fight

Ebay
Parody of "I Want It That Way" by the Backstreet Boys

Tell me why (I need another pet rock) * Tell me why (I got that Alf alarm clock) * Tell me why (I bid on Shatner's old toupee) * THey had it on eBay

there's more, but those are some parts of the songs that stuck out most... really funny stuff...

Eminem is a fucking bastard too. A radio show, John Garibian's Open House party, played the Couch Potato song, he said that Eminem's lawyers wouldn't let Weird Al finish shooting the video. Bleh

Not htat I'm encouraging illegal music downloading or anything heree, but you guys should get "Angry White Boy Polka"... its a bunch of songs sung really fast with polka music in the background... I personally loves the part where weird al sings "Get down with the Sickness (Disturbed)"... "Oh ah ah ah ah!"

Ya, it's a very personal song for Eminem. Noone can stop you from a parody, but he decided to stop Al from doing the video...

Oh, and out of the music you all are "sampling", I recommend the following:
Couch Potato (parody= Lose Yourself)
Angry White Boy Polka (funny as hell to hear)
A Complicated Song (funny parody of Complicated)
Ode to a Superhero (parody= Piano Man)
Bob (song sung in Bob Dylan's style, the lyrics make absolutely NO SENSE!)
Ebay (parody of I Want It That Way)
Genius In France

Fucking dumb Madonna and Michael Jackson never complained about the parodies he did of their songs.

(Like a surgeon) :lol:

ACtually Montcalm, Madonna ASKED Weird Al to do that, according to Behind the Music :D

Oh, and 2 more songs:

Trash Day = I hate Nelly, but this is a FUNNY AS HELL parody of "Hot in here"
Why Does This Always Happen To Me = also pretty good

What's ironic about that is that Coolio's "Gangsta Paradise" was actually a remake of a Stevie Wonder song.

It was okay, but not great. Of course, this is by Weird Al's standards.

That wasn't him... Everyone seems to think that all kinds of things are Weird Al, when they aren't. It's an honest mistake, he does some of the funniest shit musically, but not all of it.

Eminem needs to develop a sense of humor. He takes himself entirely too seriously, and while a lot of his stuff is actually good, he's incapable of just sitting back and laughing at himself. Yeah, he had a shit life. Yeah, his ex-wife is a bitch. Yeah, his mom is a bitch. We got the message. But he's a platinum artist now who never has to worry about money ever again thanks to ridiculous copyright extensions. Time to write about something else.

That's because both Madonna and Michael Jackson were fans of Als. Jackson loved the parodies made of his songs and told Al to basically keep them coming. Also, Weird Al's song "Smells Like Nirvana" completely made Curt Kobain's day, appearantly, and he commented that now that Weird Al paroded them, they knew they had made it.

Of course, not everyone is so cool.

Ah, Weird Al... the only artist I can truthfully claim to have owned ALL their albums. (Mostly on cassette tape, but they count!)

Yeah, me and my bro have had a bunch of his shit. Even Worse, the whole name, the cover was the parody to the Bad album. LoL. Alapalooza. Bad Hair Day, running with scissors, damn he's got two Star Wars songs. LoL. Yes, Eminem needs to shut the fuck up. I never liked him to begin with. Some of his songs are good, but only a few and that's of the released ones. Hell, he buchtered Dream On to make a fucking single that just sucks ass. Fuck you Slim. It's the only thing I don't like about Dr. Dre, and that's this low life shit faced ghetto wannabe. It's so funny when I see people like him. Yeah, he might have grown up in a ghetto, yeah he might have run thug, but hell, he looks so fake, and that he's trying to hard to be black. He just reeks of Vanilla Iceage.

Weird Al's shit though is fucking hillarious. The night Santa went crazy is about the damndest thing you'll hear musically. It's on the Bad Hair Day album.

Uhm...I don't know if your serious, or just kidding. Hmm. Just in case here's a 'Fuck You'. If not, hey, that's pretty funny. Ni!
