We talked about his shows:
We talked about him:
hell we even delved into unhearable fan
art:
We touched on his original songs:
We went crazy with Polka:
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.
