Name a song that Weird Al Yankovic should have spoofed, but never did |
|
He can spoof it either by changing the lyrics, or playing it polka-style, or both.
I nominate Time by The Alan Parsons Project. Very moving and melancholy piece, but just wait until you multiply the BPM times two and throw in that wicked accordion...

1. Any Nickelback song, but that would have been redundant. |

3. I would have liked to see him do "Closer" by NIN... |
|
...but the Devo version of "Head Like A Hole" is way brilliant!

Weird Al performed a mini-version of Closer as part of a polka medley on the album Bad Hair Day. You got your wish! (Well, sorta.)

4. Led Zep's "Black Dog" polka style would so rule. |
|
"Highway to Hell" would've been pissah, too.

5. This is a tough question |
|
Weird Al's parodies work best when the song isn't great (so no one will be too pissed off) but also not too bad either (otherwise it's too hard to do a parody that isn't just a rehash of the song).
So, I would nominate a couple Queen songs, like We Are The Champions and Crazy Little Thing Called Love.

6. None - he's an overrated hack |
|
I hear his voice and just want to start ripping my eardrums out to make the sound stop.
Yeah, we get it Al. You can change words in other peoples' songs to puerile humor. Aren't you clever.

12. Slayer/Testament/Rage vs machine |
|
I don't think he got into metal enough. But any song that takes itself too seriously is a ripe target. Amish Paradise is a classic.

13. When I hear "Renegades of Funk" |
|
It sounds just like "Redneck Kings of Funk."

14. Hmmm. A polka version of RAINING BLOOD... |
|
Don't think Weird Al has ever done that, but I love the concept!
