Original Songs vs Weird Al Parodies

Do Trapped In The Closet VS Trapped In The Drive Thru

but smells like nirvana was loved by curt cobain

You guys talk too much during the songs. Sigh

also Key and Peele were in the White and Nerdy music video

Was it Weird Al who did a parody of Michael Jackson's "Beat It" and Al did "Eat It"?

Weird Al is a Genius in my humble opinion.

My English prof made us listen to Word crimes lol.

My middle school days totally greenday

no no no no no. Ricky was always better than mickey i literally care about nothing else you didnt even bother watching his video. his video is so much more iconic.

Where's party In the CIA

You are missing the entire point…

Al rules!!! Been listening to him since the early 1980’s. He also writes original songs and every album has to include a polka mix.

Fun fact. Al is a multi Grammy winner and his career has outlasted every artist that he has parodied.

The song is "Ridin Dirty". Weird Al's "White and Nerdy" outsold the original...

Oh man. As a deaf/hearing impaired person, I'm so sad you didn't click the box for YT captions. Would have been an asset

"That's not how you pronounce it, though." That is, in fact, how it's pronounced.

No Amish Paradise?
No It's All About the Pentiums?
Blah.🥴

Best Weird Al Parodies:

1) The Saga Begins
2) Amish Paradise
3) Eat It
4) I Lost On Jeopardy

Honestly I would donate all my money from a song if weird Al parody’s a song I make

you are both sooooooooooo wrong. Word Crimes is the best parody ever.............. just say'n

Tress McNeill is the voice of Lucy in "Ricky".

I don't really care on what Roomie said, Weird Al will ALWAYS be a icon for stuff like this, Period XD

My teacher in elementary actually played word crimes in class 😭😭

You forgot the most iconic : "EAT IT" ! ; and also "like a surgeon"; "lasagna" and "amish paradise"; let's say this will be for part 2...

Think they kinda lost the point of these parody songs -- they aren't supposed to sound perfect or professional. ><

2 guys who have no idea who or what Weird Al is about... Bleh

I actually think watching the "original" didn't do you guys any service. You should've had to "guess" the song that inspired the parody.

Someone lost their head
Hehe funny

you missed the best one!!! "Fat" a Michael Jackson's parody of "Bad"...

I bought on ebay? Aluminum Foil? Im fat!? Where are the best ones!?!?

Actually, kurt cobain himself used to say a lot of his lyrics were basically gibberish.

Why in smells like ten sprite the main singer looks like shaggy.

Ugh, grammar is THE SONG!

These guys are too young and uninformed about this music and its meanings. They miss so many references and could have chosen better songs.

Had to dislike the video because you guys clearly have no taste. You've failed miserably to cover some of his best work and failed to acknowledge the skill that's gone into his existing work. The only thing I like about the original Blurred Lines was the topless version. Yes, it exists. As for Weird Al, he's such a genius when it comes to lyrics. Check out The Saga Begins, Amish Paradise, Like a Surgeon, I'm Fat and more. Even Word Crimes is extremely well written. When I first heard that I was amazed at it.

Producers fell below the standards

I have the curse of knowing that the background music is blurred lines (which also came out in 2013)

1: You guys didn't include amish paradise?! Dude!
2: He could make a new parody of my Sharona... About that annoying thing that happened the last 3 years... You know...
3: Fun fact: Smells like nirvana was filmed on the same location! With much of the same cast! Fat was also filmed in the same location just before they tore it down again!

Joan Jett version of I Love Rock 'n' Roll is a cover. The original is from The Arrows.

This kinda shows they are kinda biased towards more modern music. I'm an '04 baby and i still think that Weird Al is a treasure. Also is it just me or does he sound like milo murphy from phineas and ferb

You two guys are way too young to appreciate Weird Al's talent. He is a master of his craft and is Brilliant live entertainment
