[Quiet Man Cometh]

I grew up listening to Wierd Al, which makes for some interesting moments because I'm more likely to have heard the parody before the original song. It does make me more interested in the song. I remember watching an old Disney montage done to "Eat It" and yes, this was before I knew who Michael Jackson was.

I think some of my favourite songs of his are actually originals, though I'm not totally sure. Was "One more Minute" a parody? (Not sure I have the right title. The guy who'd rather do a pile of nasty things than spend another minute with someone).

I tend to look at parodies the same way I look at covers; each on their own merit and quality. Some stuff makes me roll my eyes and other stuff is actually pretty funny.
