World of Weird Al Yankovic

Ok, first of all, I don't like Limp Bizkit at all. I was recently forced to listen to an entire album on the way back from vacation and that is how I came up with this parody. I wanted to take a song that is incredibly lame to begin with and make it about something so stupid that not a lot of people (ok, no one) has made a song about. I remembered that MadTV did a parody of this song called "Posin'" and they included a little bit of the hokey pokey in there, but it wasn't the whole song, so I did it. Secondly, Jon last time I checked I am fairly current with topics in song parodies, (as you know with my year in review parodies and my "La Bamba" parody...which you seem to not be a fan of), so I wanted to write about a topic a little older than two weeks ago.

Hey fair enough man. Keep up the parodies. I enjoy reading them. But hopefully you don't mind constructive criticism if/when appropriate.

No, you guys are right, Limp Bizkit should never be compared with the Doors, heck I don't even know the song. I was just saying that although in general the parody genre' (if there even is such an animal, lol) relies on current relevancy, sometimes it's okay to do an older song. For example on my album, most of the parodies are pretty recent, but I included a parody of that great cheesy hit Livin' La Vida Loca called Old People Retire in Boca, and the response has been tremendous. It's a fine line to tread and we all make mistakes, but I am a stickler for quality over quantity.

A hit that will be remembered for generations to come. For this same reason I thought it was fine when Al parodied "American Pie," "I Want It That Way," "Piano Man," etc.

Exactly.

Original Song

Born as a fatty, I was raised with hell
A husky child, made the classmates yell
“He’s so forlorn, man he can’t even run”
My town never stopped poking their fun

My new pants size is a zero
I finally made it as a dieting hero

21 calorie chowdown
Eat half a grape, but can’t wash it down
I’ve finally lost my massive thunder thighs
Now a seven inch perfect size waistline

I was eating poisonous food
Empty sugars that made me feel no good
Eating portions, oh so very small
Walk down the street, have no shadow at all

My new pants size is a zero
I finally made it as a dieting hero

21 calorie chowdown
Cucumber juice then I must lie down
I weigh less than the scale that I stand on
I also gain half a pound when I yawn

Thanks to this diet, I don’t like to eat
Only consume things like bread crumbs and seeds
Twenty one calories each time I dine
When I go crazy, I might have twenty nine

Friends say I’m boring
And I’m no fun
They sit and just roll their eyes

I’m the one laughing
They eat what they want
And stuck with cottage cheese thighs

We are a nation
I would call deep fried
I laugh as their bellies grow

I stand behind lamp posts
And watch all my friends
“Where did that skinny guy go?”

I swallowed my pride
And a pound I did gain
When there’s a strong wind I just float
No chicken fingers
Never touched my teeth
Cause they are wider than my throat

Eat one lemon wedge
And then I’m set for days
And flour just widens my frame
I sit in my living room
Spending my time
Thinking ‘bout the good old days

Someone help me
Need Wendy’s right away
This size just is not for me
I can’t waste more time...

“Oh eat, you skinny boy, eat
There’s no need to sleep
Stuff your face till dawn

Oh eat, you skinny boy, eat
Until you can’t see
your feet or your palms”

Original Song

I was shocked! Eyes were locked
To this magazine
My once time, childhood idols
Getting desperate, as it seems

He lives north with snowflakes
Now in financial pain
Looks like those milk and cookies
Just ain’t enough these days

So I buy and I look through this brand new magazine
And there's that ol’ Kris Kringle on the pages in-between

He once was cold
A million copies just been sold
Open it up, lo and behold!
Santa is the centerfold
While some may scold
A million bucks and he was sold
Santa is the centerfold

Call it gross, call it grotesque
Have a subscription? You damn right yes!
Guess who puts it on display
this issue for July?

Just one second, here’s a clue
This person gave up his flying shoes
He would LOVE for you to see
His picture that’s inside

Gave up his bow and arrows
True love ain’t paying much
You’ll see him this Valentines Day
Are all these clues enough?

What I was told-
Two million copies just been sold
Open it up, lo and behold!
Cupid is the centerfold
While some may scold
A million bucks and he was sold
Cupid is the centerfold

Now some may not understand
Others want to give helping hands
Just ain’t the same since days foregone
Don’t make much when their clothes are on

Next month’s star needs a thrill
She used to take incisors
She’s losing money for each tooth
Turns out, she ain’t so private

The pictures in there made me flip
Made me pray my teeth were chipped
Oh yeah, now don’t deny it
Oh yeah, ya know you’re gonna buy it!

What I was told-
Ten million copies have been sold
Open it up, lo and behold!
Tooth Fairy’s the centerfold
While some may scold
A million bucks and she was sold
Tooth Fairy is the centerfold

This is my first anti-Ohio State parody...GO BLUE!!!

Original Song

Dear Mr. Tressel, I am a wolverine
Past few years, were not grand
But you were beat more times in case you forgot
Stay out of the big house

Dear Mr. Tressel, I am the MAC conference
First few weeks, a huge pain
We're getting walloped while you just pad your stats
And you cruise to four and 0

Dear Mr. Tressel, this is the SEC
The guys who stopped your dreams
Gators and Tigers beat you for the title
So you'll stay at number two

Dear Mr. Tressel, this is your missing sleeves
Sweater vests in demand
We think they're dumb, would you please just take us back?
Arms are cold, it's us you need

Dear Mr. Tressel, this is the fourth quarter
Oh so calm at this time
Your Tressel-ball, it's boring and won't excite
All your fans, just throw a pass!

Dear Mr. Tressel, this is the great Big House
The Horseshoe- a lame site
You've got your scarlet, blue looks best in the sun
Grey looks bland on anyone

Dear Mr. Tressel, again the wolverines
No response from first verse
We're still better, so get lost Mr. Big Shot

Tell me, why must we fight?
Why can't we get it right?
Michigan wins this time
Tressel just leave tonight

You have beat us this time
And the last eight or nine
But you should run in fright
Michigan's here to fight!

If I Only Had a Dame -("If I Only Had a Brain" Parody)

I could sit and talk for hours
Impress her with some flowers
Go kissin' in the rain

She'd be the perfect catch and
I'd stop sitting on my ass but
If I only had a dame

She would have that extra sizzle
Be sweeter than a Skittle
Her voice would cause no pain

[Girls voice in his head]
"See your face and you're beamin',
but I'm sayin' that you're dreamin'
I will never be your dame"

Oh I,
will tell you why
I'm not one to ignore
I don't watch Jay Leno or that Jersey Shore
I never stink, and rarely snore

I would prove I'm not just nothin'
I promise I'm not bluffin'
Don't think I'm acting vain

I would dance and be merry
Life would not be ordinary
If I only had a dame

-----------------------

If I Only Had a Car- ("If I Only Had a Heart" Parody)

I should not be forced to settle
Stuck here without a pedal
I'm not the campus star

Just because I'd be zoomin'
With my stereo a-boomin'
If I only had a car

I'd no longer need a rental
Go pedal to the metal
I would go near and far

I'd be driving really fast and
Laugh at cars that I'd be passin'
If I only had a car

Picture me -down on the street
The places I could go
"Wherefore art thou Camero?
With leather seats? That's sweet!"

I would drive ocean to ocean
Give all my devotion
And never would we part

I'd never miss a dinner
or need rides from little sister
If I only had a car

------------------------------------

If I Had Money to Earn - ("If I Only Had the Nerve")

Man I hate being so stingy
My clothes are getting dingy
For nice things, I do yearn

I'd be feeling mighty "baller"
If I had some extra dollars
If I had money to earn

I'm afraid I just have Lincolns
No pictures of Ben Franklin
Those are bills I deserve

I would be a happy mister
I would be rich like a wizard
I would no longer be miffed but-
If I only had a car and cash to earn

Then I'm sure to get a dame-
"No way!
Go home!
You nerd!"

Hey guys, sorry for posting 5 times in a row...but no comments means I just keep posting. So here are my two newest parodies...one finished yesterday, the other finished 10 minutes ago.


Original Song

Hey hey hey

It's sad to say
This Halloween did not go my way
Of all the houses we went to
There was only one where we were denied

In the moon beams
I'm eating chocolate, while I hear some goblins scream
Then I got so excited
Giant candy bowl I sighted
But I was denied

Hey there mister
Hand over your Snickers
From your candy bowl, don't ya know
It's Halloween, so let 'em go
Hey there mister
I don't wanna bicker, so just give them here tonight

Hey hey hey

Rang twelve times
On your front porch and I know you can see me
You have a nice collection
Let me make my selection
From your supply

So my request
Is for you to get up and feed my costumed self
I am telling you
If you don't, I'll tell my momma
And I know you wouldn't wanna mess with her

Hey there mister
Don't bogart your Twizzlers
In your candy bowl, don't ya know
It's Halloween, so let 'em go
Hey there mister
I am getting pissed so just give 'em to me tonight

Man you are really dumb
One night a year is all the fun I need
Need Reece's, they're my drug
You're the only house where I got snubbed
You see- you're the only one here on this street
Who's front light's on and has candy
I don't care if you had to leave to pee

Hey there mister
I got toilet paper
On your patio, now ya know
Eggs are hard to clean off your home
Warned you mister-
Now you will be pissed for all the things I did tonight
Next time mister
Next year, you will listen and get me treats for that night
Hey hey hey (alright!?)
Hey hey hey (alright!?)

Original Song

I'm really hungry, here by a fire
Not sure what food will cure my desire
Do do do-do do do-do do do-do do do-do do do
I'm tired to chicken, red meat and swine
Want something filling that won't take much time
Do do do-do do do-do do do-do do do-do do do

So I look around
Know what I want, it's not raccoon
Hear for that sound, want one that howls
Man, I'm hungry for some wolf
Roast for some time, maybe add lime
Maybe make a nice wolf fondue
Wait till it's prime, add lemon and thyme
Man, I'm hungry for some wolf

Stalked in the forest, man they can hide
I think they know I want a gray wolf stir-fry
Do do do-do do do-do do do-do do do-do do do
Try an omelet, but with only egg whites
It's better than squirrel and opossum combined
Do do do-do do do-do do do-do do do-do do do

My ear to the ground
Don't need a hound, know what to do
Who needs a cow or a cat that meows
When you're hungry for some wolf?
Tied up with twine, it's barbecue time
Maybe add cheese, wolf cordon bleu
Mouth is alive, it's feeding time
Cause I'm hungry for some wolf

Hungry for some wolf
Hungry for some wolf
Hungry for some wolf

Now I'll announce, I'll sell by the pound
From our kitchen direct to you
Dollars or pounds, we're the best around
Three Little Pigs name brand wolf
Now just in time, sounds like a crime
Thanksgiving, we'll take care of you
And we've combined with partner in crime
Little Red Riding Hood Wolf
