I'm sure they'll all be great.

Rub salt in the wound for those of us who can't see YouTube.

I think there was a "gangsta's Paradise" parody called "Amish Paradise" though I haven't heard it.

Ian mentioned it in his original post!

There is many. Others are Livin La Vida Yoda, 12 Pains Of Christmas, I'm Fat, Another One Rides The Bus, and Windows 95. I think he is a genius.

I really should pay more attention.

I saw him in concert here a couple of years ago and we laughed so much it hurt.

Yeah I remember him from the eighties. Bit infantile.

Weird Al is exactly that, weird!

I've heard quite a few of his tracks and many sound just like the original artist and until you start listening to the lyrics you realise it is infact a funny parody!

There's no need insult Bill Bailey. :P

No Bill Bailey's completely different - far drier and sharper and (sorry) LESS AMERICAN.

Saw his TV show from a while ago on Pluto TV recently and that was odd but enjoyable
But even more recently I watched his new ahem "Biopic" with Daniel Radcliffe
Great fun I'd highly recommend it, very funny and clever
