"What's Goin' On" in your mind?

"One Way or Another," "Call Me," "Maria," "Dreaming," "Atomic"… all bigger than "Hanging on the Telephone."

(Which is why Weird Al's parody "Take Me to the Liver" is much better known to this day.)

Don't forget "Coconut" and "Me & My Arrow!"

And why not play They Might Be Giants' take on it ("The Guitar") while you're at it?

Quagmire is a middle-aged, suave professional airline pilot, not a third grader.

I just wish they hadn't gotten Tress MacNeille to voice Lunchlady Doris 7 years after the death of Doris Grau and the retirement of the character. I mean, she was named "Doris" for a reason.

Actually, the time-traveling Penny survives. The other Penny is presumably still in Sherman's room for the duration of the movie.

George (record scratch) American.

Oh wait, that was The Rutles.

Well, his constant misfortunes have always been intended as a send-up of the Book of Job.

Al parodied two Shondells covers, "I Think We're Alone Now" and Billy Idol's "Mony Mony" (as "Alimony"), on the same album. Come to think of it, that was the same album that housed "Lasagna."

Thanks, Cracked.

Or "Pump It Up" or "Radio Radio," in the latter's case.

I primarily remember them for their cover of Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm's "Let the Sunshine In" on the Saturday Morning Cartoons' Greatest Hits compilation.

Their cover of John Denver's "Leaving on a Jet Plane" is arguably better known than the original too, so much that my high school choir teacher misidentified the original artist as Gordon Lightfoot.

Yes, one of Warren Zevon. You may remember him for "Werewolves of London," "Lawyers, Guns and Money," and "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner."

I always found "Road to Rhode Island" vastly overrated and "Road to Europe" vastly underrated, but to quote "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein," touche, salesman.

Tom Waits is bigger than Rod.

It's not "Tainted Meat," it's "Painted Meat!"
