- The parody is the cover’s evil twin. While a good cover keeps the lyrics and changes the music, a parody does the exact opposite. As such, much of what “Weird Al” Yankovic does falls outside this blog’s purview (though covers of Weird Al songs are always popular). His polkas, however, fall strictly in the cover camp.

Boy don't try to front

Boy don't try to front
I know just what you are
(You!)
You say I'm crazy
(You!)
I got your crazy
(You!)
You're nothing but a
(You!)
Womanizer
You spin my head right round, right round
When you go down, when you go down down
You spin my head right round, right round
When you go down, when you go down
Cause day and night
The lonely stoner seems to free his mind at night
He's all alone through the day and night
The lonely loner seems to free his mind at night (at, at, at night)
It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I've lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
And I was like baby baby baby
Baby baby baby
Baby baby baby
I thought you'd always be mine
So, so what, I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves and I don't need you
And guess what, I'm havin' more fun
And now that we're done, I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright, I'm just fine and you're a tool
So, so what, I am a rock star
I got my rock moves and I don't want you tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it, the taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it, I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong, it felt so right, don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it, I liked it
And I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
Weird Al Yankovic Polka
Blame it on the goose, gotcha feeling loose
Blame it on the 'tron, catch me in the zone
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
Blame it on the vodka, blame it on the henny
Blame it on the blue tap, got you feeling dizzy
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
Shawty's like a melody in my head
That I can't keep out
Got me singin' like
Na na na na everyday
It's like my iPod stuck on replay,
Stuck on replay
Stuck on replay
Replay

Replay-ay-ay-ay
Baby, are you down, down, down, down, down?
Baby are you down?
I'm only gonna break break your break break your heart
I'm only gonna break break your break break your heart
I'm only gonna break break your break break your heart
I'm only gonna break your heart
Don't stop
Making pop
DJ blow my speakers up
Tonight
I'm a fight
Till we see the sun light
Tick tock
On the clock
But the polka don't stop, no
Yodel-yodel-lady-hoo

Question[edit]
Why isn't this page listed on the template? —T-borg (T | C) 23:04, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
- Ask that on the template talk page. Meneth (talk) 09:57, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
'Trademark' ??[edit]
Does Weird Al really have a trademark on the term 'Polka medleys' as the article currently appears to say or at least imply in the first sentence?? Did he invent them? Has no one else, ever created a polka medley? --Nerd42 (talk) 18:13, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
- You're misunderstanding the use of the word 'trademark' here. It doesn't necessarily mean something that one has exclusive rights to, it can also simply mean something that someone is known for. If someone comments on a certain lighting style or camera angle that a particular film director uses frequently, it could be referred to as that director's 'trademark style'. Nobody is suggesting that Weird Al is the only person who has ever done polka medleys, nor is anyone saying that he is the only one capable and/or allowed to do so. What is being suggested is that 1) when you hear a polka medley, even if it's not Al, you're likely to think of it as something you'd expect to hear from Al, and 2) when one thinks of the overall body of Weird Al's work, polka medleys are a significant part of it. Since Weird Al is the only person to whom one might reasonably apply both statements, polka medleys are considered to be a trademark of his. - 173.181.57.59 (talk) 23:46, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

- There's a tune at the beginning before 'Poker Face' starts, I recognize it from 'Fiesta' by The Pogues, and here's what that article says about it:
- It was written by Jem Finer and Shane MacGowan, based on a Spanish fairground melody Finer had picked up (this melody is an appeal or lure from a sausages kiosk named 'salchichas Uranga (sausages Uranga)' in the feasts of the city of Almería -Feria de Almería-, in southern Spain).
- Not sure how to incorporate this into the list, just thought I should point it out. - 173.181.57.59 (talk) 13:53, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
- About to make some changes to this based on a listing on Amazon[http://www.amazon.com/Alpocalypse-Vinyl-Weird-Al-Yankovic/dp/B00559A1Z0/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1308065361&sr=1-1]... Al just posted a link to a pre-order for the Vinyl release, and I noticed it had a song listing for the polka. - 68.145.108.99 (talk) 17:44, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
Unconfirmed 1981 polka medley[edit]
I just saw this line :
A 1981 polka medley is believed to be the first official Yankovic polka medley. It included parts of the songs 'Jocko Homo' by Devo, 'Homosapien' by Pete Shelley, 'Sex Junkie' by Plasmatics, 'TV O.D.', 'Bad Boys Get Spanked' by The Pretenders, 'TV Party' by Black Flag, 'Janitor', and 'People Who Died' by Jim Carroll. ('Jocko Homo' was later re-used in 'Polkas on 45'.)[citation needed]
If there's any source for this, I'd really love to see or hear it. I don't think I've ever been so anxious for a citation. ----DanTD (talk) 17:12, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
'NOW That's What I Call Polka!'[edit]
I removed questionable list of songs submitted by anonymous person. If it wasn't fake (which I really doubt), please refer to the source. --Vikte (talk) 18:46, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
