@SW-User The lyrics aren't really. I'd say its an okay song for the office radio.

SW-User

@MethDozer I agree, i just meant the music. And lol i just realised it's weezer version 😃

@SW-User With weird Al. You can't really notice until the accordion.

SW-User

@MethDozer I think i like it better than TOTO's version haha

MethDozer · M

@SW-User I do too.

SW-User

@MethDozer Weird Al is a legend

MethDozer · M

@SW-User He really is. His parodies have remained relevant longer than most of the source material.

SW-User

@MethDozer That is so true. I love some of his older stuff.

@SW-User You know what is funny?
If you play his "Headline News" cover of Crash test Dummies. It doesn't sound like a parody anymore now but just extra verses.

SW-User

@MethDozer Yeah true. I think i listen to Weird Al's version of Nirvana's smells like teen spirit more than Nirvana. I think the farm animals really make it.

@SW-User That's his mist brutal one ever. He really lays into them. It still makes me piss when he yells fuck your parents.

SW-User

@MethDozer hehe yep i love that. Some of his video's are just as clever as his change of lyrics.
