Some more greats:

My favorite Weird Al song that’s not on the list is Hardware Store. Truth be told, it’s not very funny (except for “automatic circumcisers”), but the song is a straight up banger. The unpredictable chorus is reminiscent of “South American Getaway” from the Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid soundtrack, and the…

He also has the greatest backup band in history. Who else could play so many different styles and genres so perfectly?

Yes, any Zappa fan should check that out.

Oh man, sad to not see my favorite original not on here: Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota!

Nothing for “Trigger Happy”, the song with razor-sharp parody that slices gun-humpers to oblivion to a peppy Beach Boys sound? C’mon now.

Melanie is one of my favorite originals. I never noticed the Marshall Crenshaw thing, but I can hear it now.  

So we’re all going to brush over the fact that the number one song on this list just happens to name check this very website?

Yoda is probably my favorite of his just because the source material is so great. Other honorable mentions: That’s your horoscope for today (let me give you my assurance that these forecasts and predictions are all based on solid scientific documented evidence so you would have to be some kind of moron not to realize…

It’s good, clean family fun. What have you got to lose? If you like the 6 oclock news then you’ll love Nature Trail to Hell: in 3D. 

A song I don’t hear much about, but it’s always been a personal favorite, is “Genius in France.”

I gotta say, great list. It’s going to be controversial (buncha nerds!) but you got CNR, Everything You Know Is Wrong, The Night Santa Went Crazy, and a bunch of other frequently overlooked songs in addition to most of the obvious picks...I’m glad you’re shining some light on what another commenter called the…

It makes me so happy to see “Midnight Star” on this list. I was expecting all parodies, so seeing some deep-cut originals was a pleasant surprise!

Weird Al is a music icon.

The guy kissed genius on the lips in the 90s. Most bands never do it and the ones that do rarely follow it up. 

Heat Miser won the war!

Or the song about the Heat Miser, who wants to rid the world of snow and cold, thus ruining Christmas (well, in the Northern Hemisphere anyway, the Aussies have always had it as a summer holiday). Of course that possibility isn’t quite so implausible these days.

Ask me to rate my favorite animators, and I’m rankin Bass pretty high on the list. 

Yeah. Those specials were formative to generations of Weird Kids. “So you’ve got big ears or a weird nose, or some disability that the other kids tease you for? Kid, you’re going to save Christmas!”

you, sir, are entitled to your wrong opinion.
