Has nobody mentioned The Brady Bunch (to the tune of The Safety Dance) yet? That’s one of my favorites.

Party In The CIA  
Word Crimes  
White and Nerdy  
Amish Paradise

Eat It, I Lost On Jeopardy, Ricky, Another One Rides The Bus, The Saga Begins … all classics for certain.

(Also, seeing as this thread was started in connection with the release of Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, why are we including Eat It as one of his parodies? That’s a Weird Al original, dammit - Michael Jackson was copying _him_. 😏
