 Now it is time to dance with who brought you.   Sure Weird Al is a genius of many facets but only one that he is synonymous with, parodies. Hell no one else even comes close. I remember when I would mumble along with songs, making up different words, people would look at me and say “Who are you? Weird Al” And I would just think “I wish”

here now is:

 The Top Ten Best Weird Al Parodies All Time:

10) My Bologna

It would almost seem wrong to have a list of best Al parodies and not include the one that started it all. Recorded in the bathroom of his college dorm. My Bologna is the song that launched weird Al's Career and got him his first record deal.

 9) Money for Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies

In this song set his target on Dire Straits, the guitar player from the band demanded to play guitar on it so Al said “Okay if you have too!”

 8) I lost on Jeopardy

This one is a classic fueled by a great music video.  And some funny gags.

7) Fat

This is one of 2 MJ parodies that made the list. The video for this song was probably his biggest. At the time everyone I knew kept saying “Ding Dong man Ding Dong”

 6)Word Crimes

A new one but a great song. This song original was controversial for being a little to aggressive Al turns this aggression back where it belongs on people like me who don't grammar well as should could they.

5) Jurassic Park

Another great song followed with an amazing video. MTV and AL go together like spit on NARCS!

 4) Amish Paradise

Al Flexes his muscles. Coolio whined about this but he is probably just bitter that his career lasted less than 5 years and Al's video is the best thing that happened to it. I think this was the song that showcased Al's true talent. Making a shitty song you have stuck in your head OK because you don't have to sing something by Coolio

3) smells like nirvana

This song blasted into grunge and made Al's comeback complete as the theme the video also helped launch this song further. MARBLE MOUTH!

2) White and nerdy

The thing about Al rapping is he is better at it then most rappers. This song came out hard and was Al's biggest song to date. It was also released the while the original song was still on the market giving it eve more punch then normal.

1) Eat It

You can't talk Al parodies and not give credit where it is. Eat It transformed Al into a household name seemingly overnight. The video was an MTV staple and lead to MTV asking Al to do ALTV

Well there you have it the ten best parodies from the man who is parodies. We hope Al's last comedy album is as successful as all of his were. We eagerly look forward to his future digital releases or whatever he decides to do. We here at BrokeBlog hope you enjoyed these 7 days of Al as much as we enjoyed bringing them too you. We now return you to your regularly scheduled blog.
