Which song will be the hit?

Al said that there is no "lead single" on MF, and he wants you to choose the hits. Which one do you think it will be?

I think he wants us to wait until we hear them first.

Probably "Handy," for being a parody of the still current #1 song, and for being a likely candidate for a big-budget video (which always helps in popularity), but it'd be nice to get another, less obvious hit from the album as well. Letting us choose the hits is a welcome experiment. Hopefully it'll pay off and a song other than the lead will get some recognition.

Like Bruce said, it's hard to decide without hearing the songs first. My feeling right now is that "Word Crimes" will be the funniest parody, potentially with the bonus of a video parody, so I went with that.

A whopping one vote out of 34 for the six originals combined. We still know what sells to the masses.

While it's not a "hot single" anymore, I think that "Word Crimes" is gonna be a big hit, because the original is so ridiculous, and a Weird Al parody is bound to be hilarious. If it is about grammar Nazis, I know tons of people are going to love it.

Until I hear them can't say for sure. I do love Pharrell's Happy a lot so there's a chance Weird Al's parody of it will be my favorite.

I think that Tacky (Happy) will be the first video released, and the one to catch everybody's attention. It will be the biggest video UNTIL Handy (Fancy) is the final video released on the 8th day, and will be the most popular. Pure speculation, of course.

Okay, now that I've heard the album, I'd definitely say "Word Crimes" and "Tacky" are most likely to be hits and are also the two best parodies on the album.

I agree and based on the cast for what is probably the "Tacky" video, I think Al does too. That's easily my favorite parody after one listen.
