Weird Al Super Bowl Halftime Show

If Weird Al played the halftime show, what setlist would you have him play?
Remember: You are going for the widest of all wide audiences. Many people watching either have not heard of or do not particularly care for Weird Al. Also, this would be BY FAR Al's biggest audience yet, both in the stadium and worldwide.
Also: Super Bowl halftime show performances are generally about ten minutes long and usually consist of a medley of the artist's biggest hits. There is no time for costume changes so this will have to be done the way Al usually does his medley in concert, just a string of hits with maybe 15 seconds between songs to put on a funny hat or jacket.
Here's my setlist:
Polka Face (shortened version but functions as a standalone song, not part of a medley)
Medley of:
White & Nerdy
TMZ
Party In The CIA
Canadian Idiot
Smells Like Nirvana
Amish Paradise
Eat It
He would be wearing a Hawaiian shirt getup for most of this except adding a guitar for SLN, beard for AP, and jacket for Eat It.
Again, keep in mind this is for a very, very mainstream audience. Doubtful there would be any obscure tracks or even originals at all. Looking forward to your thoughts.
