I'm really surprised that their hasn't been a topic for this guy yet.

Man, you've gotta hand it too him, he's been cranking out CD's one after the other for over 30 years. And all of his CD's have some funny songs, that actually sound like the song they are parodying. I have to say he can be a little annoying at times but overall, he is pretty talented.

My favorite songs of his are "The Night Santa went Crazy," "Pretty Fly for a Rabbi," "Eat it" and the 11 minute long "Albuquerque."

What are some other people's favorite songs or thoughts about this guy?

Weird Al hasn't quite been making music for as long as all that. He was a freshman nerd in 1973 (my senior year) at my alma mater, Lynwood High School. I didn't notice the guy at school, just in my yearbook. I always hear the name pronounced with the "ch" sound at the end. It shouldn't take any major accomplishment to find songs worth listening to all the way through, though.
