This Song’s Just Six Words Long (Parody of Got My Mind Set On You made famous by George Harrison or James Ray)
Another of Al’s parodies of cover songs, this one originally written by Rudy Clark and performed by James Ray in 1962, Al is clearly meaning to spoof George Harrison’s version from 1987. Al wrote himself into a weird corner here,Read more…
Theme from Rocky XIII (Parody of Eye of the Tiger by Survivor)
Survivor keyboardist Jim Peterik signed off on the song after hearing that Michael Jackson had let Al do Eat It. I still say Jackson’s humor was the key to Al’s career (as we know it). Fun song, if not forRead more…

Don’t Wear Those Shoes

All About The Pentiums (Parody of All About The Benjamins (Rock Remix) by Sean Puff Daddy Combs)
