The year is 1945, and a British bomber is shot down over Germany. Only the pilot manages to parachute to safety, but upon landing he breaks his leg and is ultimatly captured and inprisoned. While imprisoned the pilot developes a case of gangreen. Some time later, the pilot's leg falls off.
Snickering, the German guards ask him, "Vat do you vant us to do viss your leg?"
Defyant, the pilot responds, "Send it to my friends in London."
Soon after his other leg falls off and the guards once again ask him what to do with his leg
"Send it to my friends in York" says the pilot.
Later that week his arm falls off, and is asked once again what should be done with his extremity
"Send it to my friends in Liverpool" responds he pilot.
Finally, after some time and much suffering, the pilots other arm falls off, and is approched by the Germans as to what they should do with it.

Once upon a time in the little town of Bagofdicks lived a happy family of florists. One day a couple of monks opened their own flower shop across the street and began stealing all the family's business.
The family tried everything to get the monks to move their shop, from guilting them with their kids to having the grandparents explain the history of the shop. In the end none of it worked.
Fed up the family hired a mafia strong arm named Hugh to smash up the monks and their shop. It worked, and the monks left.
The moral of the story is Hugh and only Hugh can prevent florist friars.
Man 1, Man 2, and Man 3 are marooned on an island and captured by a tribe of cannibals. The cannibals state that they will kill and eat the men if they do not bring five pieces of fruit for a banquet. All three men disappear into the jungle to acquire fruit.
Man 1 returns with bananas and the chieftain explains that they enjoy fruit flavored meat. The man may go free if he is able to place all five pieces of fruit inside his rectum without making a noise. 3/4ths of the way through banana one the man grunts causing the tribesmen to pounce and immediately skewer man 1.
Man 2 returns to the campsite with five berries and sees Man 1 roasting over a fire. The chieftain offers the same deal to Man 2. Man 2 pops berries one, two, and three easily. A bead of sweat forms as he begins to administer berry four when suddenly he erupts into laughter. The tribesmen pounce and skewer Man 2 and throw him over the fire pit.
Man 2 meets Man 1 in heaven. Man 1: "You were so close you could have easily done that and lived, what caused you to laugh in such a stressful situation?"
weird al just does what everyone does except he isn't clever
do you want me to break down the lyrics/music video to dare to be stupid to explain exactly why this is incorrect
this isnt an insult
this is not me mocking you
i would gladly explain why this is in fact not a true statement
Well to be honest I have only heard the hits that everyone knows so it may be untrue, but what I meant is he rips off other peoples melodies and rhyme schemes, but so does everyone else, so it isn't an insult in any way, I just for some reason do not get what weird al does that makes people love him, and I really think it comes down to two sides when it comes to weird al, you either like him or you don't.

they used their music and music videos to mock culture and spread their ideas
they actually have an enormous library, whip it is not even remotely one of their best
Mark Mothersbaugh, one of the founding members of Devo, said that this song is the greatest devo song and he jokingly said that he hated Yankovic for it
Weird Al parodies multiple Devo music videos, and a scene in the video parodies another new wave band, Wall of Voodoo
the lyrics twist around common sayings and are thematically similar to Devo's subversion of the norm

I don't want to condescend to you
But I have trouble understanding how anyone who understood what parody was could describe Weird Al like that.
I'm not knocking you for not liking him but "ripping off" is just not an accurate description here.
Well maybe he doesn't rip off, I probably just made a rude comment without thinking it through, sorry. I like one song of his, don't really like him as an artist, though I suppose he is clever, and all I am saying is that melody wise, everyone to this day still rips off the beatles.
And I am not saying ripping off is a bad thing, it is just hard to be original when the beatles have already done everything.
I love being a musician because the more you learn the more realize how amazing it is that we can make something so interesting and emotional and varied as music.

"Nein!" Snaps the German guard.
What? Why not?" Askes the pilot.
"Vee sink you are trying to escape!"

"Forgive me, father, for I have sinned," he says: "During the War, I broke the law. I hid a Jewish family in my attic."
"That is hardly a sin" the Priest replies.
"Yes, father, but I also charged them 100 reichsmarks a week for the service" the man goes on, contrite.
"Well, I suppose that isn't quite so good, but you did save their lives all the same. God will understand."
"Thank you, father." The man turns to go, but hesitates at the door.
"What is it, my son?"
"...should I tell them the War's over?"

Because they couldn't hug.
Now picture two T-Rex's trying to hug each other with tiny little arms, big ol' heads getting in the way.
his genre/band pastiches hold up better than most parodies though

this is an original song he made, a style parody of Devo, a new wave band
they used their music and music videos to mock culture and spread their ideas
they actually have an enormous library, whip it is not even remotely one of their best
Mark Mothersbaugh, one of the founding members of Devo, said that this song is the greatest devo song and he jokingly said that he hated Yankovic for it
