- “My Bologna” Somewhat appropriate given the artist, “Weird Al” Yankovic’s first single, “My Bologna,” was recorded in a men’s bathroom, as this was the only space available to a student disc jockey at Cal Poly in 1979.
- “Another One Rides the Bus” “Another One Rides the Bus” was recorded in an actual studio (live, in Dr. Demento’s booth, to be precise) but that doesn’t mean it’s a high-quality recording.
- “Ricky” Weird Al’s “I Love Lucy”-themed song, “Ricky” (a spoof of “Mickey” by Toni Basil), wasn’t just his first stint in the Hot 100, but it was also his first televised music video.
- “I Love Rocky Road” To get permission for his fourth single (and second about food), “I Love Rocky Road,” Weird Al didn’t need to ask Joan Jett, the artist known for “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll” but instead a member of The Arrows, who originally recorded the song in 1975.

Woman (The Doors) In-A-Gadda ...
Writing a song parody takes talent, yes, but I think it's even harder to write an original song in the style of someone else, more difficult yet to make it funny. Al has written quite a few "style parodies," and they're pretty much all impressive.
