According to the Wikipedia article on (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devo) Devo, frontman Mark Mothersbaugh thinks Al is amazing. Personally, I think 'It's all about the Pentiums' is fucking brilliant, 'The Saga Begins' ("My, my, this here Anakin guy") is classic, and if he did the music arranging for 'This is the Life' then he is clearly too talented to be allowed to live.

'You don't love me anymore' was allways my favorite.

Weird Al has an advantage over most pop icons. He continually reinvents himself for every song. Others only do so when the music gets stale. He manages to stay fresh by rehashing stale pop. I do love his pastiches such as "Dare to be Stupid", a song Mark Mothersbaugh wished Devo had recorded, and "Genius in France", a wonderful ode to Frank Zappa endorsed by Dweezil. The range of musical styles shows Yankovic's broad musical talents. As long as people laugh, parodies will be appreciated.

He also has an amazing range of voices.
Yeah, 'You don't love me anymore' is one of my favorites of his. And as far as clever rhymes go, It's All About the Pentiums can't be beat (You think your commodore 64's really neato/what kind of chip you got in there, a dorito?).
I still love his theme song to Spy Hard, too. It's worth seeing the movie just for it. I get it regularly stuck in my head to this day.

Ah, I remembered my other favorite.
"In a 32-bit world, you're a two bit user/you've got your own newsgroup: alt.totaloser"
Yes, good stuff.

There just isn't much interest anymore in novelty songs these days. Ask young folk these days about Allen Sherman, Jim Stafford, Loudon Wainwright III, or Guns 'n' Moses...or even Ray Stevens, and they won't have a clue what you're talking about..
Don't forget about
Dread Zeppelin (although they were more of a peculiar tribute band).

The first Dread Zeppelin album had its moments. The second one did not. And then I tuned out.
