Here's a fun bit of trivia. Except for the song "Fat", every direct cover song on Weird Al's "
Even Worse" album was a parody of a cover:
Lasagna - "La Bamba" by
Richie Valens covered by
Los Lobos
This Song is Just Six Words Long - "I've Got My Mind Set On You" by
Rudy Clark originally performed by
James Ray but covered by
George Harrison
Alimony - "Mony Mony" by
Tommy James and the Shondells covered by
Billy Idol
I Think I'm a Clone Now - "I Think We're Alone Now" also originally from
Tommy James and Shondells covered by
Tiffany
So the album title "
Even Worse" wasn't just poking fun at
Michael Jackson's album "
Bad" but that the covers were covers of covers.
And I'm probably the only one here that cares.
