Ultimate Weird Al Mixtape Challenge

Post by TMBJon »

Alright I came up with this idea last night and was curious what everyone else would pick. The challenge is to create a playlist of Weird Al songs, with the following rules:

1. You must include exactly one parody and one original (or style parody) from each of Al's 12 albums.
2. You must include one polka.
3. You must include one unreleased song, either pre-debut album or concert only track.
4. You must include one of the Internet Leaks tracks.

No more, no less, for each of the above rules. By complete coincidence, this results in 27 tracks. That was actually unintentional. The mix is not meant to be The Essential Weird Al, just your personal favorites.
What would your tracklist look like?


Mine:
1. It's Still Billy Joel To Me
2. Stop Draggin My Car Around
3. I'll Be Mellow When I'm Dead
4. Eat It
5. Midnight Star
6. Polkas On 45
7. Yoda
8. Dare To Be Stupid
9. Living With A Hernia
10. Dog Eat Dog
11. This Song's Just (Six Words Long)
12. Melanie
13. Isle Thing
14. The Biggest Ball of Twine In Minnesota
15. Smells Like Nirvana
16. You Don't Love Me Anymore
17. Bedrock Anthem
18. Frank's 2000' TV
19. Amish Paradise
20. Everything You Know Is Wrong
21. It's All About The Pentiums
22. Albuquerque
23. Couch Potato
24. Hardware Store
25. White & Nerdy
26. I'll Sue Ya!
27. Skipper Dan


And you guys????????

3. You must include one unreleased song, either pre-debut album or concert only track.
4. You must include one of the Internet Leaks tracks.

11 Its All About The Pentiums
12 Couch Potato
13 White&Nerdy
14 CNR
15 The Alternative Polka
16 I'll be Mellow When I'm Dead
17 Buy Me A Condo
18 Dare To Be Stupid
19 Don't Wear Those Shoes
20 Stuck In A Closet With VannA White

Those songs, as well as Polkamon and You're Pitiful, would have to fit under the third category.

OR I will allow up to one substitution in the "category three" division for a "category one" song, so long as it replaces a parody or original from the chronologically-closest album.

I forgot about You're Pitiful...but surely, Polkamon is a polka?

Nobody Here But Us Frogs actually could be a better choice than Billy Joel, but The Check's In The Mail is one of the worst Weird Al songs of all time.
