Charlie and Steve tackle Weird Al’s parody of R.E.M.’s Stand called Spam. Steve’s a big fan, of the food. Let’s see how he feels about the song.Don’t forget to check us out on twitter @wendelyankovich.
043 Money For Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies* (Parody of Dire Straits)
The lawyers are all over this song. Weird Al’s Dire Straits parody from UHF is a fun video and an interesting combination of the original song and the theme song.
042 Christmas At Ground Zero
Merry Christmas everyone! A fun uplifting Christmas message from your old pal, “Weird Al” Yankovic. Now with a special message to Ronald Reagan. Enjoy!
041 You Make Me
Oingo Boingo is never the same after listening to this Weird Al style parody. A great musical parody that is lessened by the not always obvious lyrics. Of course, maybe that’s the point.
039 I Want A New Duck (Parody of I Want A New Drug by Huey Lewis and the News)
Our first special guest! Khysti from the GR80s podcast joins us this week for a couple of songs from Dare To Be Stupid. First up, the Huey Lewis and the News song, “I want a new drug” recast with ducks.IfRead more…
038 Good Enough For Now
Weird Al takes on Country music with his original song about settling for your second choice. Or at least the best thing you can get.
037 Such A Groovy Guy
From Weird Al’s first album, this song is a personal tribute to an old girlfriend’s ex boyfriend.
036 Pretty Fly For A Rabbi (Parody of Pretty Fly for a White Guy by Offspring)
Weird Al covers the Offspring in this fun take on the Jewish faith. And as a bonus Steve and Charlie review “Laundry Day” a special concert only version of “Come Out And Play”.
035 Party In The CIA (Parody of Party In The USA by Miley Cyrus)
Miley Cyrus (and her dad) have nothing on Weird Al. His parody cover of a song originally intended for Jessie J is fun and peppy. What else did we think about it?
034 Inactive (Parody of Radioactive by Imagine Dragons)
Charlie and Steve discuss Weird Al’s Inactive, a parody of Imagine Dragons’ Radioactive. And I mean, have you seen the video for Radioactive? What the heck?
033 Handy (Parody of Fancy by Iggy Azalea and Charli XCX)
Iggy Azalea and Charli XCX song about being fancy is transformed into a commercial of a local handy man on Weird Al’s Mandatory Fun album.
032 Perform This Way (Parody of Born This Way by Lady Gaga)
Weird Al is Lady Gaga. Almost perfect!
