Favorite Weird Al Songs/Albums

Motto: "You only live thrice."
Weapon: Buffalo Missile
Since Weird Al is sort of a part of the Transformer's universe, I was wondering if anyone has a favorite song or album of his. My favorite album is Polka Party, and song is "Trigger Happy" from Off the Deep End. I'm not even a gun person, but the song just cracks me up every time—how about you?

Well, a few of my favs are The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota, You Don't Love Me Anymore, and The Night Santa Went Crazy. Weasel Stomping Day on Robot Chicken was good for a laugh too.

And all hail the glory that was UHF.

Like I could narrow it down to one. There's just waaaaay too many classics to single out a favourite.

Wow! I guess I'm not the Weird Al fan I thought I was! I haven't heard of some of those, but I also haven't had a chance to purchase the last two of his albums. I also somehow missed out on Alapalooza. But other than that I know all the albums pretty good. And UHF—well, I'm one of those guys who went to Batman instead, but a good friend did introduce me to it finally in high school.

I haven't really cared for much past Running With Scissors. My music tastes varied too much from what he was basing the parodies off of. Anything before that though is just classic in my opion.

Very true! I guess I enjoy his original songs where he copies a style the most.

I kind of ran into that as a kid listening to his music in the 80s. I never listened to top 40 radio (or any radio for that matter living out in a rural community). So I didn't understand a lot of his parodies. Songs like Addicted to Spuds, I Think I'm a Clone Now, and Alimony where just songs to me. Running with Scissors was the only album I knew every parody of. But yeah, I'm not a fan of a lot of new stuff today, so I guess that's why I haven't bought his last two albums.

Amish Paradise definitely is one of my favorites.

Eat It's music video always cracks me up, too. Do I Creep You Out?, one of his newer ones is pretty cool. I like a lot of his music, always have.

Eat It with the video is just awesome. I also liked Amish Paradise.
The Biggest Ball of Twine in MN song inspired me to
go check it out. Just be prepared to get lost 20 times while trying to find the town of Darwin, and don't forget to eat at the Twine Ball Inn.

There isn't a Weird Al song that sucks.

All his polka friggin' rocks. Amish Paradise = Awesome, Stuck at the Drivethrough = Annoyingly Awesome, White N' Nerdy = Awesome, All about the Pentiums = Awesome

All his stuff rocks.
