WARF Presents: The Weird Al Top 20 Video Countdown

[WARF]

Top 20?

A top 5 would be pushing it.

Weird Al is a genius. He's been putting out viral videos 30 years before there was viral videos.
Now he's finally got his number 1 album and is reaping the benefits. Hell, Van Halen couldn't even get a number 1 album with Roth.

#10 Living With A Hernia

"Living with a Hernia" is a song by "Weird Al" Yankovic. It is a parody of "Living in America" by James Brown, from the film Rocky IV. The song mostly describes the terrible "aggravation" and "back pain" that a hernia causes. The narrator himself claims to be suffering from a hernia, and that he's "Got to have an operation".

#8 I Lost on Jeopardy

Billboard Hot 100 #81 (1984)

"I Lost on Jeopardy" is a song by "Weird Al" Yankovic from his second album, "Weird Al" Yankovic in 3-D. The song is a parody of "Jeopardy" by The Greg Kihn Band, and its refrain "Our love's in jeopardy". The parody's lyrics center on the then-former game show Jeopardy!, hosted by Art Fleming; a syndicated revival, with Alex Trebek, began three months after the single's release.

#7 This Is The Life

From the soundtrack to the GREATEST 80's comedy film.... Johnny Dangerously

[WARF]

#6 Gump

The cover for the single is itself a parody of the Presidents of the United States of America's logo. This is one of Yankovic's shortest album parodies, second only to his remade version of "My Bologna" (a parody of The Knack's "My Sharona"). In the video for this song, Yankovic dons a bald cap. The The Presidents of the United States of America themselves praised the parody and has since often referred to the "Weird Al" song during live performances.
