sorcyressSo, apparently, "Dog Eat Dog" off Weird Al's album "Polka Party" is basically all about mocking the Talking Heads's style.
The Weird Al Effect? I suppose thats the closest thing we've got. (WARNING: tvtropes will ruin your life. Do not click on that link if you have things to do today.) But yes. Funny how all it takes is an album for a random Al song to go from being "meh, whatever" to being absolutely *wonderful*!

on 2009-04-30 11:51 pm (UTC)I didn't realize "Yoda" was a parody, because when I first heard it (1987 maybe) I had never heard the song "Lola"...
Of course the fact that I was 7 probably had something to do with that. My parents thought that was a little too young to learn about transvestites.
I remember reading a rant in someone's LJ a while ago that if you like "the Weird Al version" of a pop song, then you really can't say you "hate ALL pop music". Since his parody is a song with the same music/style - albeit with a singer can actually write his own lyrics - it's still pop-music.
But then again, what do I know about parody and comedy music? (Http://www.thefump.com)
