- Easy Mode: Weird Al tracks are allowed.
- Hard Mode: No Weird Al.
Maybe a stretch as it’s not parodying a song but parodies Star Wars kinda sorta? Seagulls! (Stop it Now)
Lonely Island has a few (Jack Sparrow) comes to mind but again not a direct parody of a specific song.
Richard Cheese does straight up covers but they are so stylistically different that it’s basically a parody. Chop Suey
Then there’s the classic comedy music duos: Garfunkel & Oates (Loophole), Flight of the Conchords (Business Time)
Bo Burnham’s whole Inside special is fantastic too.
Looks like I’m mostly listing comedy music and not necessarily parodies, but oh well.
Bo Burnham’s Kanye Rant
Easy Mode: Amish Paradise
Hard Mode: Shia LaBeouf
A random tiny soundcloud account that did a parody of All Star that’s about the magical girls anime genre…now I want to find it again.
I had a friend who sung I Can’t Feel my Face when I’m with you, as I can’t feel my face when I Go POOP and that is all I will ever hear now.
I had a cousin who would sing to her kid to the tune of the CanCan song:
I’ve got something in my nappy, making me unhappy, tralalala la lalalalalala (repeat)
I cant hear American Pie without it turning into Weird Al’s The Saga Begins
Don McLean almost sing Weird Al’s lyrics too during live performances…
Love is A Battlefield literal video is hilarious to me.
Lmfao! So many good quotes
- We only walk forwards in this house!
- Guy with a pedo moustache pulls me into a slow dance
- So let’s gang up on this guy and make him watch us dance
If you like that, here’s the Total Eclipse of the Heart literal video, which I also find hilarious.
Nanobot by A Capella Science. The whole channel is pretty good, but this song just shines above the pack. Shivers every time:
Hey it’s pat finnerty big up my dude
A weird mix of the Electric Slide and The Hustle
Its been getting stuck in my head once a month or so for the past 20 years.
Its not even very funny.
Firm believer that Molecular Shape of You > Shape of You

Easy Mode:
Definitely 2 of my favorite Weird Al songs that I don’t really hear people ever talk about:
Don’t Download This Song, and Virus Alert.
Hard Mode:
I don’t listen to non-Weird Al parody songs anymore and haven’t since late middle school to early highschool, so I got none in my head anymore.
I found it (in the mid-2000s as a preteen) before I consciously learned about the original Bohemian Rhapsody, so every time I now hear the latter, my mind immediately goes “what happen, what happen, somebody set up us the bomb, somebody set up us the bomb”.
