comments:
   he was the king of parody, famous at this time for such
chart toppers as Michael Jackson's 2nd biggest hit ever,
"Eat it", the Greg Kihn hit "I lost on Jeopardy" and
the only one that the Knack was ever known for, "My Bologna"
Weird Al is a song writing contortionist. He takes some of
the songs we know best, and makes the lyrics more fitting
(in most cases) while adding his satirical twist to every one.
it's an inspired fun performance like only Weird Al can give,
and with election time coming humor becomes more necessary for
survival and sanity preservation, hope this helps out.
