I had a lot of fun with my 15 and 16 year old kids last night sharing music videos from the 80’s, mainly weird Al songs. I would show them the original song, and then the weird Al parody of it.
So I decided to collect some of them here.
Original: Michael Jackson’s “Bad”
Weird Al: “I’m Fat”
Original: Michael Jackson’s “Beat It’
Weird Al: “Eat It”
Original: Madonna’s “Like a Virgin”
Weird Al: “Like a Surgeon”
And not from the 80’s but still, a couple of my favorites (Weird Al’s versions, not the originals)
Original: Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise”
Weird Al: “Amish Paradise”
Chamillionaire’s “Riding Dirty”
Weird Al’s “White and Nerdy”
And just for fun, a Weird Al Polka Medley:
I am thankful for silliness and for kids to share it with 
Happy Thanksgiving!
