Alright, now that my film franchise tournament has finished up, I'm pleased to bring you a tournament very near and dear to my heart and one that will hopefully be popular around here - The Greatest "Weird Al" Yankovic Parody Tournament.
I won't be holding nominations since there are only 63 Weird Al parodies that have appeared on studio albums. That means one song got a bye to Round 2. That song, selected at random, was Addicted to Spuds.
First to four wins. And here's our first match:
Alimony
Parody of: "Mony Mony" by Billy Idol
Appears on: Even Worse
vs.
Canadian Idiot
Parody of: "American Idiot" by Green Day
Appears on: Straight Outta Lynwood
I vote Canadian Idiot.

This will be a great tournament there are a lot of Weird Al songs I haven't heard before believe it or not and these two songs I haven't heard so I'll listen to them and then vote.

Canadian Idiot, will style parodys like "Dog Eat Dog" be included? No, not for this tournament. I felt like having 63 actual parodies really was almost perfect for a tournament. Canadian Idiot advances. Next up... Confessions Part IIIParody of: "Confessions Part II" by Usher Appears on: Straight Outta Lynwood vs. Another One Rides the BusParody of: "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen Appears on: "Weird Al" Yankovic I vote Another One Rides the Bus. |

Confessions Part III
Edit: I originally voted Another one rides the bus but then I listen to both songs and I decide to change my vote to Confessions.

Not a big fan of either but "Another One Rudes The Bus" since it was his first parody.

I HATE Confessions, and I'm honestly surprised it has gotten votes. There's only one parody of Al's that I dislike more. I vote Another One Rides the Bus. No, not for this tournament. I felt like having 63 actual parodies really was almost perfect for a tournament. Style parody would be harder to run, since there's so much disagreement over which songs are style parodies, and whose style they're mimicing. They are, however, often his best songs. |
