What Has Weird Al Wrought?
Here’s a rather interesting article: What Has Weird Al Wrought?
The writer basically complains how the typical parody songs produced by “zany morning crew”s in radio stations across the country are just too commonplace and hackneyed and calls for a boycott. However, he also says:
“Weird Al,” on the other hand, he’s like a locust: He turns up every seven years or so to show us how it’s done. Leave it to Al, boys, leave it to Al.
Locust?!? Umm… okay. Also, the “Star Wars Cantina” was not from a New York City radio station, but actually by Mark Jonathan Davis. Anyway, it’s an interesting read.

Yay? He compliments Al but trashes everybody else’s parodies. I mean, sure, some of them are bad, but others are hilarious, a la Cletus T. Judd.
