What are your kids' favourite songs?

Ok, so many of us here are grownups, I presume a certain number of us also have kids, and that a portion of those kids are also insane Al freaks like their parents.
So what do YOUR kids like?
My son just turned 5. We've been listening to Al together since before he was 2, when we would watch videos on Launchcast until he went down for his nap. For a period of a few months he would NOT settle down for nap unless cuddled on my lap, watching Weird Al. His favourite at the time, Eat It.
Then RWS came out... and a bit later we got the TWS DVD... his AL-world opened up even more. He started singing along with The Saga Begins -- reciting a frightening amount on his own from memory!
But his all-time favourite... especially after I was actually given an accordion last year and taught myself a couple recognizable licks, is without a doubt *Yoda*. He has me sing it to him nearly every night at bedtime. And whenever I get the accordion out, he wants to hear it.
He's been on a trip with his Dad for a bit over a week now, and has not yet heard Poodle Hat! He gets back on Wednesday, and we'll have a lot of listening to do. AND we have tickets to see Al live June 29.
