Happy Holidays! We are taking a winter break but will be back in 2021, Philes! In the meantime, we are replaying our HTGSC episode and answering your tweets about “The Field Where I Died.”
CNR (Style Parody of the White Stripes)
Al takes from the internet culture at the time (2009) and does his version of a Chuck Norris joke combined with a Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny (by Lemon Demon) type internet video song. Charles Nelson Reilly was a biggerRead more…
Living With A Hernia (Parody of Living In America by James Brown)
Weird Al does and becomes James Brown in this parody that teaches kids the different kinds of hernias. And who didn’t want to know that as a kid. Off of the Polka Party album and it’s first single. Check outRead more…
I Think I’m A Clone Now (Parody of I Think I’m Alone Now by Tiffany or Tommy James and the Shondells)
The other Tommy James song parodied by Al. The original song was pushed off the #1 place by Mony Mony. Al creates a song that is good for both Stormtroopers and Tatiana Maslany. Check out our conversation over on facebook.com/groups/wereallyankovicsRead more…
Amish Paradise (A Parody of Gangster’s Paradise by Coolio and NV which heavily samples Pastime Paradise by Stevie Wonder)
The controversy song. Al took a rap classic and turns it into a song about the Amish. One of Al’s classics and it’s got a crazy story to go with it. Plus the video is epic and a parody allRead more…
One Of Those Days
One of the Al originals that has no real parody involved, not to mention no stories or anything else. A good song, that follows the insanity arc well, and where it seems like Al actually makes political statements. Plus youRead more…
Stop Draggin’ My Car Around (Parody of Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around by Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty)
From Al’s first album this song tells the story a lowly guy who’s just trying to make his life work with a crummy car. But he’s got a girl and goes to the disco. And his pants are groovy. SoRead more…
078 Home Field
This week, Annie and Jenn have a chat about the Season 4 episode “The Field Where I Died.” Is it anti-shipper? We have some thoughts.
Alimony (Parody of Mony Mony by Billy Idol or Tommy James and The Shondells)
Another song that feels a little bit out of place subjectwise for Al, this song takes Billy Idol’s classic unintelligible song from the 80s and tell the classic story of a man who owes his divorced wife money. Check outRead more…
Polka Party! (Polka from Polka Party)
Al loved the polka so much he named this album after it. But this is potentially the second worst selling album Al has. In fact the next album is the first longer jump of time Al had between albums andRead more…
First World Problems (Style Parody of the Pixies)
Like other style parodies Al did this one in the style of a group he likes listening to. Although the topic seems a little dated at time of release, the music style, as usual, is spot on. Al also hadRead more…
The Check’s In The Mail
One of the more unique original songs by Al because there is no obvious style or music he’s copying. Nathan Rabin described it as the “Al’s version of the adorably cloying, clamorous, dance-hall style ditties Paul McCartney wrote solely toRead more…
