Don’t have a fav WIERD AL but my fav FRANKIE YANKOVIC song is ZAPULA ;-))
 
I enjoy ‘Like a surgeon’. It reminds me of spices, like pepper – which was popular to cover up the taste of bad meat.
Every time I hear that song, I think less and less of the rotten original it destroys.

Now that I’m thinking about it, I can’t even remember the words to the original! oh well…

Mine would be Who stole the Kiszka? and Too Fat Polka.
 
“Living with a Hernia.” I love the way he falls down in a James Brown split and goes “Ow!”

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).

Any parody that denouces the evils of Vanilla Ice is okay in my book.

My personal faves are the Michael Jackson rips:

Eat It (Beat It)
I’m Fat (I’m Bad)

I didn’t think Wierd Al was still recording?!

I remember Like A Surgeon because they played to SO much on MTV in 1984.

Like a surgeon, hey!
Cuttin’ for the very first time.
Like a surgeon.
…(I forgot the rest, somebody help me).
 
I love any of the songs from the “Bad Hair Day” album. Amish Paradise and Everything You Know is Wrong and the Alternative Polka especially. I haven’t listened to anything of his newer than that. Time to add to my Amazon wish list!

Favorite Weird Al cameo: The TransFormers movie, with the dancing space junkyard robots rocking out to “Dare to be Stupid.”
 
I can’t believe no one has listed my favorite one- Mississippi Squirrel Revival

"When that squirrel got loose and went totally berserk!
What happened next is hard to tell;
Some thought it was Heaven, others thought it was Hell,
But the fact that somethin’ was among us was plain to see!
As the choir sang I Surrender All,
The squirrel run up Harv Newman’s coveralls;
Harv leaped to his feet and said, “Somethin’s got ahold of me!”

The day the squirrel went berserk
In the First Self-Righteous Church
In that sleepy little town of Pascagoula!
It was a fight for survival
That broke out in revival
They were jumpin’ pews and shoutin’ “Hallelujah!”

Well, Harv hit the aisles dancin’ and screamin’,
Some thought he had religion, others thought he had a demon,
And Harv thought he had a Weed Eater loose in his Fruit of the Looms!
He fell to his knees to plead and beg,
And the squirrel ran out of his britches’ leg
Unobserved, to the other side of the room,
All the way down to the Amen Pew,
Where sat sister Bertha Better-Than-You,
Who’d been watching all the commotion with sadistic glee,
But you shoulda seen the look in her eyes
When that squirrel jumped her garters and crossed her thighs
And she jumped to her feet and said, “Lord, have mercy on me!”
As the squirrel made laps inside her dress,
She began to cry and then to confess
To sins that would make a sailor blush with shame!
She told of gossip and church dissention,
But the thing that got the most attention
Was when she talked about her love life, and then she started naming names!

Well, seven deacons and the Pastor got saved,
And twenty five thousand dollars got raised,
And fifty volunteered for missions in the Congo on the spot!
And even without an invitation
There were at least five hundred rededications,
And we all got rebaptized, whether we needed it or not!
Now you’ve heard the Bible story, I guess,
How He parted the waters for Moses to pass;
O, the miracles God has wrought in this old world.
But the one I’ll remember ’til my dying day
Is how He put that church back on the narrow way
With a half-crazed Mississippi squirrel!
 
Oh man, you’re right! It has been so long since I heard it, I forgot! It is still a great song though. Just chalk it up to early senility!
 
Livin’ in the Fridge (Aerosmith parady)
Fat
Another One Rides the Bus

Bohemian Polka is a favorite too (Queen lyrics unchanged)
