This topic came up a few times in the "Whatever You Like" thread, and I thought it would make an interesting topic all on its own. In general, the subjects of Al's parodies are completely unrelated to the original songs (e.g. "Eat It", "Yoda", etc.) However, sometimes he will satirize the original lyrics or artist such as in these songs:
(This Song's Just) Six Words Long
Achy Breaky Song
Confessions Part III
It's Still Billy Joel to Me
Smells Like Nirvana
Theme from Rocky XIII
Whatever You Like
Now, when I say that these are "true" parodies, I'm not trying to belittle Al's (or anyone else's) other work, but I can't think of a better term for them. Can you think of any others? Do you think that this type of parody is better or do you prefer more random lyrical themes?
