	You're missing one... Dare to be Stupid is a style parody of Devo.

	I don't think this was meant to be comprehensive. There's a lot of Weird Al songs that aren't on here. But that's okay.

	Another style parody, "You don't Love Me Anymore" is a style parody of Extreme video "More Than Words". I'm personally a fan of both songs, the original and the parody.

	Yeah, it's not comprehensive, but there are a few notable missing links. "Pancreas" is Brian Wilson, "Everything You Know Is Wrong" is They Might Be Giants, etc.

	I don't know... I listen to a lot of Weird Al and a lot of TMBG, and I just don't see that as a style parody.

	I don't know how you can listen to "Birdhouse in Your Soul" and "Everything You Know Is Wrong" back to back and not draw that conclusion.

	Rayavi:	Sep 3rd, 2010 at 05:35 GMT		0 points
	Nope, still not hearing it. Seems to me that either you've got some wishful thinking going on that's clouding your judgment or it's a heck of a lot more subtle than other style parodies. If it's any consolation, I do see a connection between "Pancreas" and Brian Wilson, or the Beach Boys in general. And on that note, I do recall reading in the liner notes for Al in the Box that "Trigger Happy" was intended to sound a bit like Jan and Dean, or any other surf pop group you'd want to replace them with.

	In the January 2000 edition of "Ask Al" he says so himself. Also, the use of accordion, synth and the nonsense lyrics are pretty dead giveaways. http://www.weirdal.com/aaarchive.htm#0100

	Well, since it comes straight from the horse's mouth, I'll buy it. But citing the use of an accordion in a Weird Al song as evidence that it's a style parody is just silly :-P

	This year he also parodied Lady Gaga.

	This Song is Just Six Words Long is a parody of George Harrison's I've Got My Mind Set on You...there are others too, Jurassic Park, etc...
