My guess is, the latter. :D
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

I wish he'd do more songs like this. But I like random/bizaare humor.

well it's not exactly a 'top 5' for me, but it's bizarre and morbid, so i like it. in my opinion, in the 'top 7' on that first album.

Bizarre and morbid is always fun. But I've got a twisted sense of humore. But yeah, some people I know would agree with you.

When I first heard MFITIL a couple of years ago, I did not like it. But now since I have the song, it has grown on me. It's simple and sweet. It's not extraordinary but it's bearable and pleasant.

For some inexplicable reason, I just ADORE this song! I guess I find it catchy and the lung sounds are funny. I like the bizarreness of it!
