“Weird Al” Yankovic has worn so many different hats throughout his career - singer, musician, actor, satirist, parodist, songwriter, music producer, accordionist (didn’t know that was a word until now) and TV producer. This crazy guy has been at it in the entertainment biz for a lonnnng time, however is best known for his hilarious parodies of pop hits throughout the past several decades. A Grammy winner three times over (’84, ‘88, ‘03),  Weird Al has sold upwards of 12 million albums - an impressive feat for any artist, but also outdoing every comedy act in history!  Word.

In keeping with the nature of iceicebabies,  below are some of my favorite Weird Al gems from the 90’s.

Amish Paradise (parody of Coolio’s Gangsta’s Paradise)

Smells like Nirvana (parody of Nirvana’s Smells like Teen Spirit )

Bedrock Anthem (parody of Red Hot Chili Pepper’s Under the Bridge & Give It Away)

Pretty Fly For a Rabbi (parody of Offspring’s Pretty Fly For a White Guy)

Livin’ in the Fridge (parody of Aerosmith’s Livin’ on the Edge)

Gump (parody of The President’s of the United States of America’s Lump)

It’s All About the Pentiums (parody of P. Diddy’s It’s All About the Benjamins)
