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. ------------- when i was a kid a doller was worth ten dollers - now a doller couldnt even buy you fifty cents |

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? |

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. ------------- Magma America Great Make Again |

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