PeachMcD#WeirdAl is, one may assume, already on this
Yankovic is one of the unsung geniuses of my generation & if he's not already working the flex btw A-littleL & A-bigI, I'll eat all my hats
@PeachMcD @acdha @krelnik unsung‽ I can assure you, he is very much sung! There are quite a few songs where I struggle to think of the original version rather than his parody of it. Amish, I mean Gangsta’s Paradise, prominently among them. Lourde’s Tin Foil, I mean Royals, being another excellent example.

Given last week they celebrated #Accordion patent approval day (May 23, 1829) it could have been the start of a good thing
BUT NO!
Management crushed the #WeirdAl search project before people realized the results were more helpful than their corporate #AI 💩

A few years ago, I finally added "Lump" by the Presidents of the United States of America to my drivetime playlist. When it came up, I tried to sing along. But I could barely remember any lyrics! Of course, every word of Weird Al's "Gump" came flooding back into my mind.

@KinkyTurtle @PeachMcD 🎶 Gump sat alone on a bench in the park / my name is Forrest he’d casually remark 🎶
Yeah basically I was going "Lump sat alone on a bench in the park, I mean boggy marsh, my name is Forrest, I mean totally motionless..."
💯 agree that #WeirdAlYankovich will never be forgot AND could tell several stories about coming unprepared upon the Actual Original of a familiar parody in a public place & ☠☠🤣ing
Best was 🎶Do I Make You Proud?🎶 at the FreddyM's when I only ever had heard 🎶Do I Creep You Out? 🎶
I probably should've sd underappreciated instead of unsung. Who else EVER could do *any & every* genre well enough to parody them all well? He's Momentous!
