Best "Weird Al" Yankovic Songs

The Top Ten
1 White & Nerdy

Although Amish Paradise was the first song I heard of Weird Al's music, White and Nerdy (with the music video) is the best one he has done.

He who is tired of Weird Al is tired of life!

They see me mowing my front lawn. I know that they're all thinking I'm so white and nerdy. Haha, gotta love Weird Al.

My all-time favorite. The music video is brilliant, and the lyrics are as well. This is Weird Al's best work.

2 Amish Paradise

As I walk through the fields where I harvest my grain, I took a look at my wife and think she's very plain, but that's just perfect for an Amish like me. We don't need things like electricity... Ha ha. This awesome song will get you churning lots of butter.

Even though Coolio wasn't happy about Al doing a parody of his "Gangsta's Paradise," I thought this was one of the best parodies Al has done!

A really funny parody of "Gangsta's Paradise" with a really dark tone and much funnier lyrics.

3 Eat It

This playoff of Michael Jackson's Beat It is so AWESOME! Eat It is really funny, and I believe it's probably a close second behind White and Nerdy. But this song is still flippin' awesome, dudes!

Plus, any MJ parody IS AWESOME. Fat is also good because it's a parody of Bad by MJ.

This is just great. It is the definition of parody, taking something as serious as Michael Jackson's Beat It and replacing it with something as silly as food.

This song has a good message to teach kids to be grateful that they aren't starving and that they have food.

4 Fat

The best Weird Al parody of all time, in my opinion. White and Nerdy is good too, but this one is better.

5 Smells Like Nirvana

There is a possibility that Kurt Cobain enjoyed this song. It's a much funnier version of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana.

The original is 50 times better than this one, but even this is still Yankovic material. This should be number one because Nirvana ROCKS!

Good, and it's really funny how they show that if you put the right music behind it, anything sounds like Nirvana.

6 The Saga Begins

The funniest thing about the song? When my son was little, he used to sing the lyrics to this along with the song "American Pie." It actually made the original song better when Weird Al's lyrics got mixed in.

The funny thing about this song is that people now get it mixed up with the original to the point where Don McLean is actually requested to play this song at his concerts. And you know what? He plays it anyway.

This is probably the best Weird Al song because it parodies one of my favorite songs and the worst Star Wars. It makes you laugh the whole time!

7 Albuquerque

This song is just brilliant. Like that one guy at the family reunion who always brings long, rambling stories that are too ridiculous to be true, this song is hilarious and unbelievable. But unlike those stories, this one is alright to laugh at. A lot. For all 11 minutes. At no point does it get old, and at no point do you think to yourself, "My god, when will this end?" Simply amazing all the way through.

My favorite Weird Al song! It's so long, at 11 minutes, but it's still very fast-paced and makes you laugh, giggle, and snort nonstop. There are even lots of interesting plot twists along the way between the great jokes. It should be #1 on the list!

8 Like a Surgeon
9 Another One Rides the Bus

This song is so hilarious and makes me laugh every time I watch it.

This, surprisingly, could be in the top ten for the best '80s song ever!

I know all the words to this song. Oops.

10 Trapped In the Drive-Thru

Don't let the 10:50 running time scare you. This song flows perfectly and leaves you wanting it to go on. Hilarious!

In my opinion, this one is totally hilarious. My dad plays it every time we go to the drive-thru, and we always laugh really hard.

I force my mom to endure this song almost every night. Good times.

The Contenders
11 Ebay

This is a pretty good one. I already liked "I Want It That Way," but this one completely outdoes it. It's just so funny. Lines like "Why did I buy that Alf alarm clock?" will go down in parody music history.

Pretty good satire of eBay and even internet culture of the time in general. The Alf alarm clock line is immortal.

I was the highest bidder for a Hot Wheels "Bully Goat" car on eBay, and now it's time to celebrate with this song. (Note to self: get "Alpocalypse" on eBay as well.)

12 I'll Sue Ya

Sometimes, lawsuits can be stupid. I mean, really stupid. The saddest thing is, though, people actually have sued for reasons a lot like these, and they won!

Anybody else want to see Zack de la Rocha himself do a cover of this song?

13 Perform This Way
14 Party in the C.I.A.

I think I liked this one better than the original!

15 Tacky

Just when you thought the song was dead, Weird Al parodies it.

Better than "Happy" by Pharrell Williams.

16 Canadian Idiot

This may be a little bit offensive to you Canadians, but the previous voter decided against it. I am not a fan of Green Day at all, and this version is the perfect parody. It has no swear words and more insults. It is probably the most hilarious thing I have ever heard!

This is my favorite "Weird Al" Yankovic song ever. It's hilarious. I feel like they're getting back at Green Day for being so rude to America.

A great parody of Green Day, and the Canadian jokes are well thought out.

17 The Night Santa Went Crazy

Greatest Christmas song and his best original song ever.

18 A Complicated Song

This is the best song. It has three stories. Here are two:

1. Him and his friend having pizza.
2. Weird Al loses his head.

A Complicated Song is so hilarious!

19 Gump

A catchy, hilarious song about one of my all-time favorite films! I've gone through several "favorite Weird Al songs," and while this wasn't always my most favorite, it is now. I love you, Weird Al!

20 Yoda

This song should be in the top ten. It's one of the best!

21 Dare to Be Stupid

Put down that chainsaw and listen to this song! It's the best Weird Al song. If I were the king of a country, this would be the national anthem.

A better Devo song than Devo did. My favorite Weird Al song!

Dare to Be Stupid sounds better now than it did then!

22 Word Crimes

Oh boy, this should be number one. This should be considered educational. I listened to it, and it sounds a lot like what I say when I correct grammar. I really think this should be played in grammar classes all over the world with the music video!

I'm so afraid of writing something about this song and using improper English. It's an amazing parody.

I got shown this at school, and now I like Al Yankovic's music. Though, I haven't listened to any recently.

23 You Don't Love Me Anymore

The wonderful contrast between the touching tone of the music and the absurdity of the lyrics.

24 I Can't Watch This

This one should be higher. It may not be my personal favorite, but the reason I like it is that it's very relatable. It's basically about there being nothing interesting on TV. The funniest part is the break it down part with a bunch of commercials playing in the background.
