“Weird Al” is easily cleaning up in the [Whats your favorite parody or comic song?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=710666) Thread, so I figure we might as well decide, once and for all, The Best “Weird Al” songs according to the SDMB.
This will be the nominations Thread. I’ll collect the top nominations then I’ll post a Poll Thread on Saturday morning.
List your top favorite songs. Let’s try to keep our nominations capped at _about_ 10 songs- though we don’t have to be super strict about that number. Basically, don’t just list every Al song that you like. Apply some tough criticism so that you’re really submitting a “Best” list that has some integrity to it.
Here’s my top twelve:
