My personal taste doesn't enter into it a lot when I make my decisions as to what to parody.
Al Yankovic

I do original songs in the style of other artists, where I try to learn all their musical idiosyncrasies and try to do something that sounds like them and yet is a bit more sick and twisted.
Al Yankovic
Image

There's a lot of different ways that a song would be a challenge to parody. There are a lot of songs that would ostensibly be a good candidate for parody, yet I can't think of a clever enough idea.

I start with a comprehensive list of all the recent songs that have been big hits - and then I go down that list and see if I can come up with funny ideas for them. I can always come up with ideas, but not necessarily good ones!
Al Yankovic
Image
It becomes more important to me as time goes on to make every album the best thing I've ever done, so it's a lot of self-imposed pressure that also kind of slows me down a bit.
Al Yankovic
Image
When I swore that you're getting more and more beautiful everyday. Well, I was only kidding, honey.

Image
You make me wanna staple bagels to my face, then remove them with a pitchfork.
Al Yankovic
Image
I'm stranded all alone in the gas station of love, and I have to use the self service pump.
Al Yankovic
Image
I love the way they run in fright when I turn on the kitchen light. And when I squish them on the ground, they make a pleasant crunchy sound.
Al Yankovic
Image
Sometimes I get, Have you ever thought about doing real music? I like to think the music I do is real, it just happens to be funny.

Image
Until you came along I never dated anyone this low on the food chain.

How can you get bored if the audience is cheering and laughing at something you're doing?

You still have Top 40 radio now, but it's 40 different stations. There aren't many hits that everybody knows, and there aren't many real superstars.
