Best Parody Target

[TMBJon]

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

[Bruce the Duck]

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

[MandatoryFun]

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

[MandatoryFun]

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.. ?

[Skippy]

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!

[Big Spoon]

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.

[Bruce the Duck]

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)

[Big Spoon]

Yep, the melody is what I meant.

[JEDM]

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