^His first #1. The fact that it is #1 probably says more about the state of the music industry than how great it is. I'm not certain but I think this is the first time he released a parody of a current hit while it was still on the charts ("Fancy"/"Handy"). He's completely up-to-date these days but I remember even his 1992 album featured parodies of Milli Vanilli and New Kids On The Block songs from 1989!
The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off
Gangster's Paradise parody was last one I saw, thought it was great.
True I probably would not know the original song that he is doing his parody on at this point.
Did he ever parody Yes or Rick Wakeman or Keith Emerson any of the over-the-top prog that screams out to be parodied?
I heard there is a online petition to get Weird Al to play halftime at the Super Bowl. Better than everybody they have ever have had play IMO.
Another vote for 'Amish Paradise'. He says his research of Amish culture consisted of watching 'Witness'.
