World of Weird Al Yankovic

Forgetting about the now well-known Weird Al parodies, which of these five original songs do you actually like the most?

You may find this surprising, but I actually love the song "Misery". It's hands-down the best song parodied on this album. "Lump" would be second, but a distant second. I just wish Al had done something more creative with the "Misery" concept.

In order:

Misery
Lump
Gangsta's Paradise
Phony Calls
Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kilmeade

I vote Amish Paradice because its the best video and the best song from the album.

well egg on my face i screwed up and read the question wrong. i vote Misery because of it's commentary on the grunge music industry.

So I'm the only one so far to like U2 song.. ?

If it had been a better U2 song, this one might have been close, but "Lump" is the clear winner for me. PUSA! PUSA! PUSA!

Despite not liking Syndicated Inc. much (but definitely not hating as much as Jeremy does), Misery is definitely my favorite. I really like the medley. If Al had only written better lyrics for his parody, the song would be much higher on my list.

Big Spoon wrote:I really like the medley.

But..."The Alternative Polka" wasn't one of the options... This is only about the parodies.

Oh, did you mean "melody?" #wordcrimes (someone needs to create a Word Crimes emoticon)

Yep, the melody is what I meant.

Misery... with Lump as a very close second.
