I think he wrote that when he was still writing under Northern Songs publishing (who had all 4 Beatles at the beginning not just Lennon & McCartney) and not Harrison's own publishing company ...
parents denied me going to the Bad Hair Day tour as a kid, ive since made it up by seeing Al FOUR TIMES. first 2 were outdoor shows during the summer fair/carnival, 2 years in a row. one of those shows he did the extended version of Albuquerque! for Mandatory Fun he did the Tacky intro, singing in his way from dressing room to the stage. finally, i saw him on the Vanity tour. when i walked past the sound mixers and saw the massive computer hooked to it, i immediately thought 'i hope he's recording the show'. woo, i called that one, he recorded the entire tour! at my show he claims it was the very first time EVER they played BOTH xmas songs at one concert. sadly, no Strings Attached is close to me so that i will miss.
THREE TIMES, all in New York City! The Straight Outta Lynwood Tour, the Alpocalypse Tour, and I was lucky enough to see the closing night of the Mandatory Tour in Radio City Music Hall! Yes, it was glorious.
coudl be worse! white and nerdy is amazing but for us old folks all his stuff is amazing. ive been involved sincd beforfe he parodied michael jackson. He is my parody god.
The "D" List ... 11) Pac Man - Beatles parody 10) Green Eggs & Ham - U2 parody 9) It's Still Billy Joel to Me - Billy Joel parody 8) Avacado - Eagles parody 7) I'm a Nerd - Beatles parody 6) Free Delivery - Celine Dion parody 5) Take the L out if Liver - 4) We All Have Cell Phones - 3) I'll Repair for You - 'Friends' theme parody 2) I'm in Love with the Skipper - 1) Chicken Pot Pie - Paul McCartney parody
Years and years ago, (I think it was on the Dr. Demento Show) I heard an AMAZING parody of Chip Trick's "Surrender." It was about Larry King and was titled "Suspenders." --- "Suspenders! Suspenders! But don't throw your belt away." I thought it was Weird Al, but I have searched and searched and never found it. Does ANYBODY know what I am talking about, or am I crazy and have been sitting on a gold mine for the past 20 years???
The first time I met Weird Al (around 1991) I wore a Metallica Ride the Lightning T-shirt to the concert and he gave me an odd look. He made a joke during the concert about ending up at an amusement park in Omaha, Nebraska (which it was lol). That's what happens when you study at the Conservatory of Music in Boise. The second time, around 1996, he autographed my "Weird Al in 3-D" album. His comment was, "ohhh, vinyl!"
I agree that Paul M should have let Al parody Live and Let Die. Really kind of ridiculous to feel that strongly on the subject. People that love Al would TOTALLY have a respect for Paul having let...or should I say "approve" Al doing it (being he doesn't need permission) yet sadly we have to miss this gem being recorded. Al being SO damn nice respecting the artist's wishes an' all :(
From everything I've heard, the Seuss estate was very much *not* fine with the live-action Cat in the Hat movie, and that's a big part of why they've tightened the restrictions on who can use the good Doctor's work. We may have Mike Myers to blame for Weird Al's "Green Eggs and Ham" never getting an album release.
Well, yes and no. It's true that legally Al could probably release GE&H over the objections of the Geisel Estate. Parody does fall under fair use, as was previously noted. However Al has long held to a policy of not releasing parody tracks without the express permission of the artist he's parodying or the estate of that artist if the original artist is dead. It's not a question of whether he's legally entitled to do so; he just chooses not to. So in a sense, OP's statement is not wrong. If the Geisel estate was so turned off by the CitH movie that they declined to grant permission to Al for GeaH, it's not so far-fetched to claim a direct line of responsibility to Mike for Al's decision. Legal considerations notwithstanding.
Saw him twice: in Fayetteville NC during the Running with Scissors tour in 2000 (he did Free Delivery on that tour) and then in Durham NC during the Alpocalypse tour in 2011. Would definitely see him again if given the opportunity. Great list, though one concert-only parody that I personally would have included is "Laundry Day." Love that one.
Hey me from 2022: I saw weird al for the first time in his mandatory fun tour and unfortunately haven’t been able to go see him again due to the pando. Loved that he had the grim grinning ghosts thing in the yoda medley.
As much as I love Weird Al, his parodies were always tame and avoided a lot of edge. My band, The Inputs practiced a song list to appear as an amputee cover band of The Cars, called The Carts. We practiced a whole number of songs with amputee lyrics and standup comedy about amputees. We were going to use the amp carts and wood blocks as props, we finally never performed a show as this crazy mystery side act, where we continued to do shows as ourselves.
I've seen him in concert for every tour since Bad Hair Day (except for Poodle Hat -- I have no idea how that tour slipped by me). I've been a Weird Al fan since I was a kid, and when I heard my first Weird Al song (Smells Like Nirvana), I became obsessed and have some pretty good memories involved with Weird Al's albums I had as a kid. That also means I was able to see his concert medleys where he performed I'm in Love Wit Da Skipper and Free Delivery (oh, and We All Have Cell Phones). Although now that Pac-Man has appeared on Weird Al's album Medium Rarities (which I do not have because I'm not rich and don't have a few hundred dollars to blow on a collection of music I already own save the new rarities album), does that invalidate number 11 from your list?
Ooh, nice pull! Probably not distinct enough to be considered a full unreleased song, but I do like it much better WITH Buddy Holly in it than without.
I've been a fan of Al's since Eat It on Night Tracks. I've seen him three times in concert here in Oregon, once in Eugene (the audience cheered wildly when he got to the Tonya Harding part of "Headline News" since she's local) and twice at the State Fair. I'm not sure on which concert tours they were, probably Bad Hair Day and Running With Scissors (I want to say Alapalooza for the first one because I got a hat with the logo, but they might have been selling those at others). It was all mid to late 90s. The third concert, some members of the audience was waiting close to the backstage area afterwards, and security comes out and tells us that Al himself was going to come out and shake everyone's hands, so to line up along the barricade. After everyone got lined up, the security person comes out and says, "Al's not going to be able to come out here... so we're going to have you come back and get autographs." So I actually got to meet him briefly, get his autograph and shake his hand. One of the best moments of my life
Three times: Wisconsin State Fair in Milwaukee, WI; Puyallup, WA; and Houston, TX. I've seen most of the songs on this list in concert. Chicken Pot Pie deserves #1, but I'm also fond of Snack All Night.
For the entry about Gee I'm a Nerd, you mentioned White and Nerdy, but to an extent his parody It's all about the Pentiums is speaking to the nerd culture as well
Omg! Thank you! You made my day. You let me learn about Weird Al songs that I didn't even know existed!! But as much as I loved most of the songs you listed (o.k. maybe not In Love With The Skipper) what about Snack All Night, Won't Eat Prunes Again, You're Pitiful, or my personal all time favorite Feel Like Throwin' up? ua-cam.com/video/CGU8I8LcwaI/v-deo.html Now just because I like being a nerd sometimes. Didn't he also sing one that parodied Jesus Christ Superstar, but was about Dr. Demento. I'm actually really glad you skipped that one. O.k. Thanks that's all....I
+K Wheaton - There were a LOT of songs I considered including but ultimately decided against for one reason or another. I have to eventually put limitations on the number of entries I include so these videos aren't four hours long. :P
doggans Yeah, fair enough. I usually don't even have patience to watch a 15 minute video let alone 4 hours, but in this case it's 15 minutes well spent! Thanks for making it! Very funny!
Dave you rock you love al almost as much as me but I am twice your age he has 3 albums of unrealesed. Music 20 bucks each check em out 60 songs no one has ever heard!
The Yoda Chant. Pac-Man. Green Eggs and Ham It's Still Billy Joel To Me Avocado Gee, I'm A Nerd Free Delivery Take The L Out Of Liver We All Have Cell Phones I'll Repair For You (Theme for "Home Improvement") I'm In Love With The Skipper Chicken Pot Pie
My top favourite unreleased Weird Al songs, not on your list are (In order): 1. Polka Patterns 2. Won't Eat Prunes Again 3. Electric Shaver 4. Eat It (Unplugged) 5. Gravy On You 6. If I Could Make Love to a Bottle

I’ve seen him three times in Houston and once in Melbourne, Fl. Twice I met him in person and have multiple autographs on an orange “‘Weird’ Al Experience” tshirt. He was really cool in person. Reuben on the other hand was a jerk!
What? ... no, "You're Pitiful!"? The song that Al, (at the very last minute), had to pull from his "Straight out of Lynwood" album, because James Blunt got 'a wild hair', (To put it bluntly), and wouldn't give his permission for the soulfully-sung parody of Blunt's "You're Beautiful" to be 'Al-icized'? ('The Reverse B.J.' was again approached for his OK, so the song could be included on Al's, "Squeezebox: The Collected Works of Weird Al Yankovich" 'al'-bum, but to no avail.) The song has to be one of Al's best songs ever, and it's omission from "The D-List" here, is like ... like,... like having a "List of Top 100 Rock 'n' Roll Songs, Ever!", and not including "Stairway to Heaven"!! - if you can even imagine such a travesty. I know "I" cant. "SO YOU JUST BETTER START PAYING MORE ATTENTION TO DOTTING THOSE "i"s and CROSSING THOSE "t''s, MISTER!!" (at doggan)
I considered You're Pitiful, but I decided that the fact that it got a weirdal.com release, even as a free download, means it doesn't really count as "unreleased". I've gone back and forth on that several times since.
@@doggans Hmmm. To me, released means put on a record. For after all is said and done, that is how a recording artist's work is measured and remembered. But since Al is considered as much, if not more so, an artist of music video (parody), then perhaps you have something there. It's as though Al may be one of the few exceptions to that. You've now kind of put me on the fence about it. I feel like an alleycat without purpose...
what about Pretty Fly for a Rabbi, Polkamon and Your Pitiful? Also, Chicken Pot Pie is better than the original. If he performs it again, he should do it with Slash.
+the999mann Pretty Fly for a Rabbi actually was on an album (Running with Scissors) as was Polkamon (just through the Pokemon 2000 soundtrack). Not to mention, You're Pitiful did score a release, albeit digitally.
+Sam Ratner - I went back and forth on whether or not You're Pitiful should qualify for this list--it DID get an official release from Al himself, but not on an album. (Pac-Man and Billy Joel, on the other hand, got official releases on albums, but from Dr. Demento, not from Al.) This might be one of those lists I look back on in a few months and wish I did differently. Ah, well. For now I stand by my choices.
I'm actually working on the lyrics of updating a weird Al parody. "It's all about the pentiums" The version that I am going to write the lyrics to will be titled "It's all about the snapdragons" In reference to the Snapdragon processor in Samsung phones. It will certainly reference and make fun of Apple, Motorola, BlackBerry and Nokia
_Taxman_ was owned by Harrison, so I’m surprised he didn’t allow it, he had a great sense of humor!
probably because all the beatles' content was ripped off from the rutles
I think he wrote that when he was still writing under Northern Songs publishing (who had all 4 Beatles at the beginning not just Lennon & McCartney) and not Harrison's own publishing company ...
parents denied me going to the Bad Hair Day tour as a kid, ive since made it up by seeing Al FOUR TIMES. first 2 were outdoor shows during the summer fair/carnival, 2 years in a row. one of those shows he did the extended version of Albuquerque! for Mandatory Fun he did the Tacky intro, singing in his way from dressing room to the stage. finally, i saw him on the Vanity tour. when i walked past the sound mixers and saw the massive computer hooked to it, i immediately thought 'i hope he's recording the show'. woo, i called that one, he recorded the entire tour! at my show he claims it was the very first time EVER they played BOTH xmas songs at one concert. sadly, no Strings Attached is close to me so that i will miss.
What a great list!
Got to see him in concert twice - Alapalooza Tour in Calgary, and Napa for his Apocalypse Tour. So fun to see him in person.
"Laundry Day" is my favorite! It's just the perfect parody of that song and probably just the right length for the joke.
That's what I was watching the list for. Disappointed it didn't make it.
THREE TIMES, all in New York City! The Straight Outta Lynwood Tour, the Alpocalypse Tour, and I was lucky enough to see the closing night of the Mandatory Tour in Radio City Music Hall!
Yes, it was glorious.
Josh Freilich im going to the Strings Attached tour
4 times. Running with scissors, poodle hat, mandatory fun.and strings attached
White and Nerdy is how I discovered Weird Al and got hooked on his music LOL!
I got Hooked On Polkas!
I discovered al listening to the food album. The very first song i ever heard by him was fat
coudl be worse! white and nerdy is amazing but for us old folks all his stuff is amazing. ive been involved sincd beforfe he parodied michael jackson. He is my parody god.

That was Steve Goodie not Weird Al.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Pac-Man is now on his Medium Rarities album.
Yes indeed! But it wasn't in November 2015, making it fair game for this list.

"I'll Repair for you" and "The Plumbing Song" are both better than "Handy" LOL
And so is Hardware Store.
12:04 also he made a song about gilligan' s isle in the UHF sound track
al should release these as bonus songs in like his best of weird al album. love these songs they are great

Didn't the Mike Myers movie come after? Like, many years after?
Since you asked, I've seen him seven times.. And AL be seeing him again this August.. probably wearing my Twine Ball shirt..
Been a fan of Weird Al since I heard him on Dr. Demento in 1980. Seen him in concert twice..mandatory fun tour and sometime a few years earlier.
Great list! I knew of most of these. Brought back good concert memories!

If you were to do another list of unreleased songs, you could also include You're Pitiful, his parody of James Blunt's You're Beautiful.
Technically, it was released - online, digital download.
As much as I love Weird Al, his parodies were always tame and avoided a lot of edge. My band, The Inputs practiced a song list to appear as an amputee cover band of The Cars, called The Carts.

Weird Al is Awesome! I have seen him in concert three times. In 2015, 2018, and 2019.
I've seen him in concert for every tour since Bad Hair Day (except for Poodle Hat -- I have no idea how that tour slipped by me).

I mean i guess it invalidates the song and that's an awesome story! I became hooked after listening to everything you know is wrong!
Awesome list!
Goin' pretty obscure here...what about The Alternative Polka (the Buddy Holly version)?
Ooh, nice pull! Probably not distinct enough to be considered a full unreleased song, but I do like it much better WITH Buddy Holly in it than without.
I've been a fan of Al's since Eat It on Night Tracks.

as an al afficionado you oppened my eyes to some but have def seen chicken pot pie live. love you
Al is the man.
Just went to the return of the self vanity tour. And I also lost on Weird Al Jeopardy.
Three times: Wisconsin State Fair in Milwaukee, WI; Puyallup, WA; and Houston, TX. I've seen most of the songs on this list in concert. Chicken Pot Pie deserves #1, but I'm also fond of Snack All Night.
Give Dr Deuce the finger and release Green Eggs and Ham anyways....

Al didn’t become vegetarian till 1992. Chicken Pot Pie was many years before.

I enjoyed it
Green eggs and ham was in the medley of his 1995 tour
White and Nerdy made me a fan
Wasn't George Harrison guitarist of Beatles? This song is just 6 words long is a parody of I got my mind set on you, which is sung by Harrison.
you had me at buckman and garcia.
Dave you rock you love al almost as much as me but I am twice your age he has 3 albums of unrealesed. Music 20 bucks each check em out 60 songs no one has ever heard!
What about Purple Stain, parody of Purple Rain by Prince? I think that should probably get a mention.
The Yoda Chant.
Pac-Man.
Green Eggs and Ham
It's Still Billy Joel To Me
Avocado
Gee, I'm A Nerd
Free Delivery

Yeah although some albums in other places, around the world might have the Pac-Man song on their albums never know.
Correction of correction it is 1994
Didn't he also do am Offspring (Keep 'em Seperated) Come Out 'N Play concert only parody about laundry day?
He’s got more than these
“Chicken Pot Pie” might be the best of all time!
i hope you find a tighter shirt that blends in better with the background :(

Why does it say theme from home improvement when it's the theme from friends?
Al’s version is called “Theme From Home Improvement”. Hence the joke about it being too much like a different TV show theme.
I’ve seen him three times in Houston and once in Melbourne, Fl. Twice I met him in person and have multiple autographs on an orange “‘Weird’ Al Experience” tshirt. He was really cool in person. Reuben on the other hand was a jerk!
I don't have a cell phone and never did. Might I be weirder than Weird Al?
C'mon, let's get real.
What about Brain Freeze?
How is You're Pitiful not on here
I don't really consider it an unreleased song, since even though it was never for sale, it was made publicly available on weirdal.com.
don't you forget about meat
Who is Dave?
What? ... no, "You're Pitiful!"? The song that Al, (at the very last minute), had to pull from his "Straight out of Lynwood" album, because James Blunt got 'a wild hair', (To put it bluntly), and wouldn't give his permission for the soulfully-sung parody of Blunt's "You're Beautiful" to be 'Al-icized'?

Actually James Blunt said yes. It was Atlantic that said No. They were afraid it would be bad for James Blunt's image
Isn't 6 Words Long on Even Worse? That's a Beatle parody
It's a parody of a George Harrison cover, but not of a song the Beatles did as a group.
Take the L out of Liver sounds like it was written by Mitch Hedberg. Alright.
what about Pretty Fly for a Rabbi, Polkamon and Your Pitiful?
Also, Chicken Pot Pie is better than the original. If he performs it again, he should do it with Slash.
+the999mann Pretty Fly for a Rabbi actually was on an album (Running with Scissors) as was Polkamon (just through the Pokemon 2000 soundtrack). Not to mention, You're Pitiful did score a release, albeit digitally.

"It's all about the pentiums"
The version that I am going to write the lyrics to will be titled
"It's all about the snapdragons"
In reference to the Snapdragon processor in Samsung phones.
It will certainly reference and make fun of Apple, Motorola, BlackBerry and Nokia
You're a terrible, terrible person for dissing Hardware Store.
Wait, did I diss Hardware Store? I didn't mean to; Hardware Store is a masterpiece.
doggans So Handy is basically a clone of Hardware Store and Hardware Store is a clone of I'll Repair For You? Mind blown!
