WEIRD AL YANKOVIC
Smells Like Nirvana / Waffle King
1992 UK 7” single

This is probably still my FAVORITE Al song, with “Nature Trail To Hell” running a very close second.

1991-1995 was so formative for me; I was 14 when the whole Nirvana/grunge/alternative thing started, and it completely took over my young life.
To see it solidified in culture by the Great Weird Al was awesome for me.
This one also still makes me laugh the most.

Psst - this is important.

Weird Al dropped a new polka summary track filled with assorted pop music.

He included WAP.

My kid is in a Weird Al phase again - which I am happy to engage with. So I am thinking of this recent episode of All Songs Considered in which Weird Al and the hosts have a fantastic discussion about parody and comedy songs. One thing I am still thinking about from this is how a good comedic song has to also be good music. It requires talent. And Weird Al is a very talented musician.
