Two Proposed Colors - Weird Al Songs

lyrics from Weird Al Yankovic style parodies
  1.     That's when I swore that someday, someday I would get outta that basement and travel to a magical, far away place - Albuquerque
  2.     When I'm sick of takin' abuse / I just make up some lame excuse / Freedom's just seven digits away - Callin' in Sick
  3.     Put down that chainsaw and listen to me - Dare To Be Stupid
  4.     Nobody's sure what I do here, / And ahh, that's just fine with me. - Dog Eat Dog
  5.     Everything you know is wrong / Black is white, up is down and short is long / And everything you thought was just so / Important doesn't matter - Everything You Know is Wrong
  6.     Risin' above the city, blocking out the noonday sun / It dwarfs the mighty redwoods and it towers over everyone - Frank's 2000" TV
  7.     They're out to get me / They wanna control me / They wanna destroy me / They're tryin' to kill me / It kind of upsets me - Germs
  8.     Well, what's the matter little friend, you think this party is the pits / Enjoy it while you can, we'll soon be blown to bits - Happy Birthday
  9.     You tell all your friends we're the perfect couple / Well, maybe you should get a clue - I'm So Sick of You
  10.     If you can't think outside the box / You'll be downsized - Mission Statement
  11.     It slices, it dices / Look at that tomato / You could even cut a tin can with it / But you wouldn't want to - Mr. Popeil
  12.     I'd rather rip my heart out of my ribcage with my bare hands / and then throw it on the floor and stomp on it 'till I die / Than spend one more minute with you - One More Minute
  13.     My life is filled with such regret / A bad mistake I can't forget / And now I'll never be the same - Ringtone
  14.     Oh, where did they come from? / What do they want from us? / Who do they think they are? - Slime Creatures From Outer Space
  15.     What was he trying to prove, who was he trying to impress / Why did he build it, how did he do, it was anybody's guess - The Biggest Ball Of Twine In Minnesota
  16.     Now we're all goin' nowhere fast / Well, I guess that's perfectly clear - Traffic Jam
  17.     There's no feeling any greater / Than to shoot first and ask questions later - Trigger Happy
  18.     He looks so handsome, he stands so tall / So glad he's big enough to cover up that hole in the wall - Velvet Elvis
  19.      Can't you tell the universe revolves around me? / Don't you know you suckers owe me everything? / And can't you see that I'm the highest form of life that there could ever be? - Waffle King
  20.     You make me wanna break the laws of time and space - You Make Me



lyrics from Weird Al Yankovic original songs
  1. I may as well be hyper as long as I'm still around / 'Cause I'll have lots of time to be laid back / When I'm six feet underground - I'll Be Mellow When I'm Dead
  2. I know you’ll never be as wonderful as me / But at least you can try - Such A Groovy Guy
  3. He was kind of a jerk / He was kind of a bore / but the women would scream when he walked in the door -  That Boy Could Dance
  4. They say that money corrupts you / But I can't really tell / I got the whole world at my feet / And I think it's pretty swell - This Is the Life
  5. You're sort of everything I've ever wanted / You're not perfect, but I love you anyhow - Good Enough For Now
  6. No more time for last minute shoppin' / It's time to face your final destiny - Christmas At Ground Zero
  7. And I can't bust out and I can't break free / And it's gettin' just a little too stuffy here for me / And I can't go home and I can't get loose / And I try to escape but it's just no use - Stuck In A Closet With Vanna White
  8. What a racket they're makin', Jack / They keep me up at night playin' their electric guitars - Attack of the Radioactive Hamsters From a Planet Near Mars
  9. Press your face right up against the screen / We gonna show you things you ain't ever seen / If you know what I mean, now - UHF
  10. Guess I pretty low self image / Maybe it's a chemical imbalance or something -- I / I should probably go and see a doctor about it when I've got the time - Generic Blues
  11. What's the matter now, sonny, you say you don't believe this junk? / You think my story's wearin' kinda thin? - When I Was Your Age
  12. Well, I guess she kept her little secret pretty well / Now, ever since I learned the horrible truth, you know my life has been a living hell - She Never Told Me She Was a Mime
  13. Ever since that day you left me / I've been so miserable, my dear / I feel almost as bad as I did / When you were still here - Since You've Been Gone
  14. She thinks he's so darn dysfunctional and "Generation X"y / She likes his brooding angst and his wild-eyed stare - My Baby's in Love With Eddie Vedder
  15. But it's sure hard to hold the wheel / While I'm waiting for my nails to dry - Truck Drivin' Song
  16. Since then I've been walking on air / I can barely brush my teeth or comb my hair / 'Cause I'm so excited and I really don't care / I've been waiting since last June / For this day to finally arrive / I'm so happy now just to be alive / 'Cause any minute now I'm gonna be inside / Well, I hope they open soon - Hardware Store
  17. But deep in your heart / You know the guilt would drive you mad / And the shame would leave a permanent scar - Don't Download This Song
  18. And you’re the worst one we’ve come across / Try to assimilate that information / And it just might help you cope with your impending loss - Sports Song
  19. I just wrapped my Cadillac around a tree / A big swarm of locusts is following me / There's not even anything good on TV / It's just one of those day, it's just one of those days - One of Those Days
  20. Anything you want, babe, if it makes you happy / But I'm begging you down on my bended knees - Don't Wear Those Shoes
I'm still figuring out names. Some possibilities:
  • Weird Alizarin Yankovic or Weird Alabaster Yankovic or Weird Almond Yankovic
  • Weird Al Yucatan Green or Weird Al Yukon Gold
  • Wenge Al Yankovic
  • Zomp
  • Glow-in-the-Dark
  • Cheese Whiz
  • Rhubarb Pie
  • My Bologna
  • Banan-appeal
  • Neon Carrot
  • Nutty Brown
  • Hi Octane Orange
  • Egg Yolk
  • Monkey Puzzle
  • Puce
  • Maple Syrup

I feel like I absolutely need to vote for "My Bologna". My first thought, though, was Grilled Cheese Sandwich. XD

My relationship with Weird Al does not go as deep as some people's, but I did see Weird: The Al Yankovic story recently, and you could do a third category of quotes from that incredible masterpiece film on the greatest musician of our time. Or a list of prompts could be the names of media that Weird Al has made a cameo, like Galavant and Naked Gun and How I Met Your Mother.

As for the first thing that popped into my mind for names, the original songs could be My Bologna and the parodies Our Bologna.
