I'm not sure if it was the mention of Men's Clothing in Squicky's thread, but I love this song and I downloaded it from iTunes. It's bizarrely soulfull - I love it.

The Police have a knock-off of that song.

I've always thought that was one of his underappreciated greats.

I personally am partial to Alternative Polka. When I first heard that song, I knew he was a genius.

I saw him in concert a few years ago, and it was awesome.

We have almost all of Weird Al's CDs. Don't know what that makes us. We like Amish Paradise.

and the kids ocassionally break out randomly into his version of "Gump" or "Everything You Know Is Wrong". So funny.

The American Pie spoof based on Episode I was so good that my daughter sang it for months, it was brilliant.

Yoda in place of Lolla is a classic Al tune that is undervalued as well except on Dr. Demento

I met him in a swamp down in dagobah,
Where it bubbles all the time like a giant carbinated soda.
S O D A soda.

I saw him in concert. It was beautiful.

Eaquae, BC is referring to "The Saga Begins" which iirc is on the Running With Scissors album.

My, my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vador someday later
Now he's just a small fry
He left his home, and kissed his momma goodbye,
Saying "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

There is also a Star Wars Cantina song frequently attributed to Weird Al that is NOT by him. This happens a lot with parodies.

The Cantina parody is by Richard Cheese, I believe.
