I feel like there are some missed opportunities by Weird Al for some pretty funny parodies. Here are some that I would like to hear him make.
- "Flush Flush" (Parody of "Rush Rush" by Paula Abdul) - Showing the importance of doing a courtesy flush after using the toilet.
- "Listerine" (Parody of "Glycerine" by Bush) - Telling us why mouthwash is good.
- "Pieces of Meat" (Parody of "Pieces of Me" by Ashlee Simpson) - bologna, salami, pastrami (on rye), German and Polish sausages, and so many more. Al describes his favorite meats.
- "Seeds (Spit Out)" (Parody of "Leave (Get Out) by JoJo) - Al describes that feeling of biting into a nice juicy piece of fruit, only to end up with a mouth full of seeds.
I bet there are several more that would be good ideas for Weird Al. Any other ideas?

"Wipeology" could be a good sequel to "Flush, Flush," obviously about the important of wiping your ass.

i remember he seemed to have stopped releasing music in late 2014 .that was about the time Meghan Trainor hit #1 with All About That Bass. though i love the song i thought it would have been a good song and video to parody.

That's a good point! That definitely seems like a song and video he would parody. Same for Taylor's "Shake It Off." I could easily see him doing something with that, just not too sure what. |

Maybe "Bake It Off," which is nothing but references to the Great British Bake Off. I'd listen to it. |

some more ideas that have popped into my head within the last year or so ,,,,
zip it (parody of whip it)
the best things in life have cheese (parody of the best things in life are free)
zamboni (pony)
i got food babe (i got you babe)
gyro (hero)
a soda song (pepsi) (a bar song (tipsy))
you suck babe (good luck babe)
and a few that are too unhinged and / or drug and / or drag related for weird al:
shatter (buy another bong) (shattered (turn the car around))
this is why i'm pot (this is why im hot)
favorite fragrance is poo (favorite color is blue)
good tuck babe (good luck babe)
ngl there's a part of me that still wishes there was a market for parodies bc some of these would be fun to make but i reckon the key to awesome / bart baker / etc kinda killed that genre for the time being (and understandably so)

Al describes his favorite meats. this is so funny because I always (and still do) since Pieces of Meat for this song lol I miss Weird al, he should have a come back for music. Not sure why he stopped or I forgot, but I remember he kinda had a big hit when White N Nerdy was out that shocked people after years he was getting chart success |

Weird Al at least still tours. My buddy's family is really into him, and we've seen him live a few times in the past 5 or so years. I think he's released some random singles the past 10 years (the Hamilton one comes to mind), but has said changes in the culture make parody songs tougher or something.
In terms of current hits, "Two Sweet" could be made into "Bad Feet" or something.
"I Had Some Help" could be "I Had Some Kale" and parody eating trends.

Of course since Weird Al hasn't put out an album since Mandarory Fun back in 2014, there is a lot of big hits that came out after that, and yet Al hasn't made any parodies.
If Al did put out an album in 2024, here's some songs that he can parody, as well as some titles.
Cruel Summer - ("Cruel Bummer")
Good Luck, Babe! - ("You Suck, Babe!")
A Bar Song (Tipsy) - (A Soda Song (Pepsi))
Too Sweet - (Bad Feet)
Last Night - (Black Knight) (A song about the Marvel hero)
Flowers - (Trousers)
A style parody of Olivia Rodrigo
A style parody of Billie Eilish
Lovin' on Me - (Grubbin' on Meat)
A style parody of Mumble Rap (and he satirizes how bad it is)
Polka Medley
(And that's all I have for now.)
