Weird Al For Nothin' And Your Jokes For Free

Weird Al has been writing songs and recording parodies for four
decades, and his musical footprint is unfathomably wide. In this
minisode, originally released in October 2022, Kirk gets into a
few things he didn't have room for in the main feed episode about
"The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota."


FEATURED/DISCUSSED:


"Money for Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies" by Yankovic, a parody
of "Money for Nothing" by Mark Knopfler & Definitely Sting
from Brothers in Arms, 1985

A really interesting Sound on Sound article about the
production of Brothers in Arms

"Spam," by Yankovic, a parody of "Stand" by REM from Green,
1989

"Smells Like Nirvana" by Yankovic, a parody of "Smells Like
Teen Spirit" by Nirvana from Nevermind, 1991

"Livin' in the Fridge" by Yankovic, a parody of "Livin' on
the Edge" by Aerosmith from Get a Grip, 1993

"Bohemian Polka," by Yankovic, a rearrangement of "Bohemian
Rhapsody" by Freddie Mercury and Queen from A Night at the Opera,
