	There are tons of songs that they could have done, but rather than list them all, they chose a few. It leaves the door open for a "Weird Al songs, Part II," which I look forward to.

	Weird Al loved his food parodies in the early days. I got the first nine, but after that it was a total blank.

	@sloth-The Night Santa Went Crazy wouldn't work for the quiz, it's a style parody, not a direct parody of a song like the others. That said, this was an awesome quiz. 20/20 easily, been into Al since I was a wee tyke!

	Just FYI - "on" is used in "Another ONE Bites the Dust"....it should be "ONE"

	Fongolia:	Nov 26th, 2008 at 06:13 GMT	5 points
	I would love to see a monster quiz of ALL Weird Al songs, parodies AND originals.

	Jamie: That's what I thought this would be when I first saw the title, and I got very excited.

	Amazing. Simply amazing. One of my favorite quizzes yet. 20/20 first try. Can't wait for the next one! Another idea would be a list of all the songs used in Weird Al's polkas.

	17 of 20. Missed Spam, Pretty Fly and The Saga Begins (kept thinking "Continues"). Funnily enough I haven't listened to any of these songs in years, but recently heard "Lola" and remembered that "Yoda" is one of his best parodies.

	Weird Al...oh man this brings back memories. His "music videos" were the best.

	raggedyanne:	Nov 26th, 2008 at 13:30 GMT	7 points
	Weird Al is just brilliant. A number of "normal" songs I hear now I can't listen to anymore without thinking of Al's alternative version. I'll look forward to part 2 also.

	Oh this is one of been waiting for for a long time, but never thought to suggest.

	i knew far too many of these for someone who doesn't like weird al.

	chasepeeler:	Nov 27th, 2008 at 00:52 GMT	2 points
	for the last few days I've been thinking of suggesting this, but didn't know if I needed to collect the data first, so I hadn't done it yet! So glad to see it, can't wait for part 2

	Wow I only got seven...

	BigAl:	Nov 28th, 2008 at 18:58 GMT	1 point
	Got 'em all - piece of cake. I'm a big fan of the Weird One.

	chemchad:	Dec 1st, 2008 at 21:28 GMT	4 points
	They should reverse it, give the weird al song and you have to tell what band he's parodying

	chrispaz:	Dec 23rd, 2008 at 23:13 GMT	2 points
	Great quiz, although I did really badly. I know it's stupidly pedantic, but it's 'The Knack', not 'Knacks'.

	SongfromBohemia:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 22:55 GMT	1 point
	Ah, man! I couldn't remember the names!!

	dbcint:	Jan 6th, 2009 at 01:39 GMT	2 points
	Perhaps Part II could feature only the parodies that appeared solely on his albums. Tracks like the U2, Green Day, Usher, Taylor Hicks, Barenaked Ladies (etc etc) parodies that weren't released as mainstream singles

	Qrystal:	Feb 6th, 2009 at 11:56 GMT	1 point
	Wow, that was fun!! I am surprised at how many I don't know ... and I was annoyed that I couldn't think of the name of the one I generally just call "Anakin Guy!" And now I know how to spell "balogna"... :(

	awesomness:	Feb 11th, 2009 at 23:49 GMT	1 point
	i love weird al the only song i never heard on this quiz is phony calls too bad.

	nkedwards90:	Feb 14th, 2009 at 21:00 GMT	0 points
	I love "Weird AL' he rocks! I only got 2 wrong.

	hscer:	Mar 1st, 2009 at 22:56 GMT	1 point
	haven't actually heard Spam before, or have no recollection of it. what album?

	Dr_Dad:	Apr 18th, 2009 at 19:30 GMT	1 point
	"Spam" is on the UHF Soundtrack album from 1989.

	Babomomebeo:	Apr 23rd, 2009 at 16:43 GMT	1 point
	I had never heard of the parody of REM's song, so I just guessed random foods that sounded like "Stand" til I got it right. 20/20!

	Hellfish:	May 10th, 2009 at 15:59 GMT	1 point
	This one needs a sequel! Awesomeness. Only thing that could possibly make it better is to include originals too. 20/20

	The_Snakes:	Jun 11th, 2009 at 14:05 GMT	1 point
	How did I not get the ebay one?> I really like that song.

	Funguy2:	Jul 5th, 2009 at 01:54 GMT	1 point
	just missed two: addicted to spuds and spam, Weird Al rules

	mtc:	Oct 31st, 2009 at 09:47 GMT	3 points
	Should accept "Which Backstreet Boy is Gay" for I Want It That Way

	BSF5775:	Dec 7th, 2009 at 00:56 GMT	1 point
	lol i totally guessed at some of them that i never even heard of before! i guess there r more parodiers bc i tried which backstreet boy is gay? and i want a fat babe for the backstreet boys song and got nothing. ha! weird al is great though.

	commanderdata:	Dec 20th, 2009 at 21:40 GMT	1 point
	What about "I can't watch this." It's a parody of "U can't touch this."

	cwrujosh:	Dec 21st, 2009 at 21:53 GMT	1 point
	What does it say about me that I got all of this in under 100 seconds, lol...

	bodine:	Jan 13th, 2010 at 13:48 GMT	1 point
	what about "King of Suede"? Great parody.

	Piffinatour:	Feb 4th, 2010 at 18:46 GMT	1 point
	lol didnt know the names of the real songs...been listening to them since i was 4...

	briskt:	Jun 13th, 2010 at 16:22 GMT	2 points
	I love this quiz, but the band is called The Knack, not Knacks.
