The Lyrics
After the original selection had Al Yankovic skewer it as "Headline News," I was aggravated. How would HE have liked it had someone done that to one of HIS selections? The "parodists" parodied in the lyrics are, in order of the verses skewering each of them, Barry Gordon("I'm Gettin' Nuttin' For Christmas"), Julie Brown("The Homecoming Queen's Got A Gun"), and the much-hated "Weird Al" Yankovic(his entire repertoire from first to last).
Once
There was this boy who
Did a lot of things that made his parents kinda mad
And 'cause
Someone snitched on him
He would
Be gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
He said that it was from when he had been sooo bad
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
And then
There was this girl who
Warned us that the homecoming queen had got a gun
And that
When they finally got her
She said
That she had done it for Johnny
The other girl knew of nobody with thaaaat name
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
But both boy and girl are glad
'Cause one putz has it worse than that
'Cause now
There is this putz who
Thinks he'll make a living sending up our favorite soo-ongs
But when
He gets to the stage
We boo
And hiss him off of the stage floor
He can't quite explain it we've always just doooone that
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh

5s, but you left out Bart Baker. It would be cool if you did a parody about him.
The reason I did NOT do any parodies about Bart Baker is NOT having known who he WAS or IS.
Why are you shouting in CAPS?
Two of the "parodists" aren't parodists, and Al isn't much-hated, last I heard. Fail on multiple levels.
Song parodies go back to the 16th century. Weird Al didn't invent the practice which originated in Europe and there have been hundreds of parodists before him entertaining in European courts and stages. Weird Al only benefits from modern television and music videos.
