How ‘Weird Al’ eclipsed most stars he parodied
Most of his parodies are more clever than the originals, IMO.  I say this in an objective sense because there have been multiple instances in my life where a song came on in some circumstance, and someone started singing the Weird Al version.  I don't know about his more recent albums, but half of his songs were original and I liked many of those even better.  "Good Old Days" is absolutely hilarious.
