Simple topic. You must choose a favorite song in each album from WAY/In 3-D all the way to PH/SOL.

For reference to remember what songs came where: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weird_Al_Y ... iscography

I'll start! I put an asterisk next to each one where it was no contest and no other song even came close to being considered.

"Weird Al" Yankovic: Happy Birthday *
In 3-D: Midnight Star *
Dare to be Stupid: This is the Life
Polka Party: Dog Eat Dog
Even Worse: (This Song's Just) Six Words Long
UHF: Fun Zone, and if that doesn't count, then TBBOTIM
Off the Deep End: When I Was Your Age
Alapalooza: Jurassic Park
Bad Hair Day: Everything You Know is Wrong *
Running With Scissors: Your Horoscope for Today
Poodle Hat: Hardware Store *
Straight Outta Lynwood: Virus Alert *

Wow... I just noticed I'm heavily biased towards his originals rather than the parodies... :blink:

EDIT: you know what? I'll list my LEAST favorites from each album as well.

"Weird Al" Yankovic: Ricky
In 3-D: Mr. Popeil
Dare to be Stupid: Girls Just Wanna Have Lunch
Polka Party: Toothless People
Even Worse: Lasagna
UHF: Isle Thing
Off the Deep End: Taco Grande
Alapalooza: Achy Breaky Song
Bad Hair Day: Phony Calls
Running With Scissors: Truck Drivin' Song
Poodle Hat: Genius in France
Straight Outta Lynwood: Do I Creep You Out

EDIT 2: and mods, you better move me because I had two windows open, one in General and one in Music and Record... and I clicked "new topic" in the wrong once. ooooops.

A perfect 50/50 split between originals and parodies, though for every parody I said was my favorite there's an original close behind and vice versa. I was going to use asterisks like Funbox did, but I had trouble deciding on every one!
Wishing you a Twisted Christmas and a Twisted New Year!
