Weird Al has made a career out of his polka covers and parodies for decades, but has he ever been so ambitious as to take on a prog classic? If he were to, which one would you most like to hear?

I'm loving the thought of the sound effects he'd work into "Gates", so that's my pick.

Yup, he recently parodied the USA presidential election, though why bother parodying something that has become its own parody? At present nothing in politics can be funnier than reality.
What?

Close to the hedge,
down by the flowers
This song goes on,
hours and hours

He hasn't parodied any prog but he did this original Zappa pastiche with guest Dweezil:



His last album two years was his first #1 which was both a sign of his lasting popularity and how horrible album sales are these days.

Out of those, Thick as a Brick would probably be quite funny. I can imagine what the parody name may be. LOL
