I know he also has original stuff, but this question is for parodies only.


Here’s an extensive listing of them for your perusal, in alphabetical order

Before looking at the list, Like a Surgeon and Eat It came immediately to mind.

Do style parodies count? Because here’s a Doors style parody which features Ray Manzarek on keys:

Here’s a White Stripes style parody about Charles Nelson Reilly:

And this is a style parody of Smile-era Beach Boys. It’s not embeddable for some reason: https://youtu.be/tqDBB0no6dQ

I think Amish Paradise is his best video. Florence Henderson appears in it.

Eat It is his first video I remember watching.

One correction: “Eat It” isn’t a parody of “Beat It”; “Beat It” is a parody of “Eat It,” which is an Al Yankovic original. I learned this undeniable fact from the biopic Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, which is 100% accurate and true.

In this clip from the film, “Weird Al” Yankovic is played by Daniel Radcliffe, and Tony Scotti is played by unknown.

And that was 100% unequivocally the worst thing Michael Jackson was ever accused of.

I just watched the new Michael Jackson biopic, and can confirm. The guy was squeaky clean.

In addition to those two, others for me include "Fat," "Another One Rides the Bus," and "Living with a Hernia."

I had the pleasure of talking with Weird Al when he was an in-studio guest on a now defunct music video channel called Hit Video USA. He was extremely nice and cordial with everyone that called in. I was the first one to speak with him and asked a question he gets very often and that was did he accept parody ideas from other people? He said that although he gets suggestions often he doesn't accept them due to legal reasons and didn't elaborate any further.

Besides the Piano Man parody (really helps if you’re a Spider-Man fan)

he went after Billy in an unreleased “It’s Still Rock and Roll To Me” parody that he eventually rejected as too mean, although Billy was apparently okay with it

I honestly think most of his parodies are great, even the unreleased ones.

Someone pointed that one out to me a few weeks ago. I really liked it even though I’ve never heard the original song.
