Windows 95 Sucks (parody of “Start Me Up” by Rolling Stones)
Jedi Knight (parody of “American Pie”)
Amish Paradise (parody of Coolio’s “Gangster’s Paradise”)
Yoda (parody of “Lola”)
Your Horoscope For Today
Constipated (parody of Avril Lavigne’s “Complicated”)
Truck Drivin’ Song
Grapefruit Diet
Rice Rice Baby (parody of Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby”)

RRB usually makes me hungry. Amish Paradise almost always makes me laugh, as does YHFT. I’m a Windows hater so I find W95S very funny (except for the inappropriate part at the end).

Lot’s of good ones.

Harvey the Wonder Hamster,

Lasagna,

The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota,

Stop Dragging my Car Around,

The Saga Begins (which is the title by which I learned the song you call Jedi Knight. I don’t have a recording of it, but memorized it from an audio clip once linked to the MacAddict website, and that’s what they called it),

The themes from UHF and Spyhard,

But I would have to say any of the polkas are my favorites.

I know Jedi Knight as “The Saga Begins”, too…I just couldn’t remember the name. UHF is hilarious. Thanks for all the suggestions for good Weird Al songs! 🙂

Amish Paradise and Like a Surgeon. I also like the one that is a parody of Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit.

I’m adding “Spam” to my list. For some reason it’s been in my head a lot lately. Maybe it’s the melody - it makes me dance!

Weird Al is the greatest! I have been a fan since the beginning.

My favorites:
  1. Eat It
  2. I Lost On Jeopardy
  3. Dare To Be Stupid
  4. Smells Like Nirvana
  5. Yabba Dabba Do Now
  6. Amish Paradise
  7. My Baby’s In Love With Eddie Vedder
  8. A Complicated Song
  9. Headline News
  10. Fat
And many, many others.
 
Is it just me, or did Weird Al sing “Albuquerque” and hold the "Aaaaaaaaaaaaalllll"s so long to draw attention to his first name?

Favorite WAY song quotes:
“I HATE SAUERKRAUT!” (not sure how to spell that - from Albuquerque)
“IT’S GOOD FOR YOU!!” (same song)
the part where they give up on spelling “Albuquerque”
“the stars predict that one day you’ll wake up, do a bunch of stuff and then go back to sleep”
“fill that void in your pathetic life by playing Whack-A-Mole seventeen hours a day”
“You are the true lord of the dance, no matter what those idiots at work say”
“you will never find true happiness - whatcha gonna do, cry about it?”
“your love life will run into trouble when your fiance hurls a javelin through your chest”
“the position of Jupiter says that you should spend the rest of the week face down in the mud”
“all Virgos are extremely friendly and intelligent - except for you!”
“laughter is the very best medicine - remember that when your appendix burts next week!”
“work a little bit harder on improving your low self-esteem, you stupid freak” (all from “Your Horoscope For Today”)
“You’re a complete loser!” (I Lost On Jeopardy)
“a local boy kicked me in the butt last week; I just smiled at him and I turned the other cheek!”
“Think you’re really righteous? Think you’re pure at heart? Well I know I’m a million times more humble than thou art!” (from “Amish Paradise”)
“I know that you’re probably sore 'cuz I didn’t write any more…”
“Oh I make a lotta money, they’re payin’ me a ton a money, they’re payin’ me plenty a money…to sing this song, child” (“This Song’s Just Six Words Long”)

LOL I would hate to be a lawyer, with all the lawyer jokes out there. Mom’s best friend’s husband is a lawyer and I don’t know how he does it.

Actually, thats not Weird Al…

My favorite has got to be Trigger Happy from the Off the Deep End album.

Got an AK-47, well ya know it makes me feel all right.
Got an UZI by my pillow, helps me sleep a little better at night.
There’s no feeling any greater than to shoot first & ask questions later…Trigger happy, trigger happy every day!

A disc jockey named Bob Rivers, who (judging from the titles of other song parodies, etc., listed on his website) is apparently competing with Howard Stern for the position of Grand Poobah of Obscenity.

Weird Al has been unfairly “credited” with several obscene song parodies which he neither wrote nor performed.
 
From “Christmas at Ground Zero”

Goin’ to duck and cover with my yuletide lover under 'neath the missletoe.
