The first Weird Al song I heard was when I was a kid in the 80s: "Eat It" - a parody of Michael Jackson's "Beat It". After that there was a slew of songs. In the early 90s he spoke with Kurt Cobain on the phone about doing a parody of "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Cobain wondered if it was gonna be about food. Weird Al said something to the effect that it was gonna be about how no one knows the lyrics to your songs. Other artists have gone on record saying they were honored when approached by Weird Al because that is a sight that you're "made it" as an artist.

I'd argue that what he does is harder than what most musicians do. He's not just bound by the beat- he's bound by the beat, The syllable count, total line count, beat changes, and more. He sticks to all of the patterns of the original songs, But completely changes the lyric scheme. That's damn near impossible, yet this dude has won like five Grammys doing it. It's absolutely incredible.

The two parodies he did of Michael Jackson were Eat It (Beat It) and Fat (Bad)…and they are spot on perfect…and MJ loved them! Michael even helped Al to be able to use the same location for his parody of Bad that HE used!

Gentlemen, I submit for your consideration: 'Hardware Store' by Weird Al, it's one of his original songs and will absolutely blow your minds. On the subject of ERB: 'Vlad the Impaler vs Dracula', 'Clint Eastwood vs Bruce Lee', 'Muhammed Ali vs Michael Jordan', and 'Thor vs Zeus' are all excellent choices, but ERB really only has like two or three that AREN'T awesome. Edit: Nevermind, I'm stupid. Start with 'Moses vs Santa Claus', you won't be sorry.

Weird Al is legitimately an extremely talented writer and rapper. And the fact that he parodies the videos as well is next level. The man is beyond talented and is loved across decades of music.
