There is one that you left out that I think counts.
"It's All About the Pentiums"
The second verse in Al's version parodies Missy Elliot's verse in the original.

Lil Kim, but who's counting?
You have quickly thought up such matchless phrase?

That was Lil Kim? My mistake - I've always thought it was Missy Elliot. Anyway, still another female parody, at least in part.

Yeah, that's true. It technically was a female artist that he parodied.

Re: "Weird Al's" Female Parodies
About what percentage of songs in each polka medley were female artists?
It doesn't matter if I do things for a reason, or on a W-H-I-M... Just stand back and enjoy the show, cuz baby, I perform this way!

Re: "Weird Al's" Female Parodies & Polkafied Songs
Nice list, and btw Lady Antebellum definitely counts. The question should be who sings the vocals.
I couldn't tell a dirt clod from a plate of caviar.

For the purposes of "Polka Your Eyes Out", I'd say "I Touch Myself" by The Divinyls counts, since I'm almost positive Christina Amphlett is female.

Was she the one singing that? It's so hard to find that kind of information on Wikipedia.
How old was that last signature? I mean, really?

So "Alpocalypse" is super-heavy on female artists. That's awesome.
