What, in your opinion, are the best satire songs? Just to clarify, the songs need not be spoofs or remakes and/or they can be tongue in cheek or sarcastic. Really anything that has made you chuckle over the years for whatever reason, will probably suffice.
A long time ago, there was a guy named Yankovick who was the polka king. The polka "prince" is no other than Weird Al Yankovick. Bear with me - it's my first time posting videos, but these are my absolute favorites. They're all separate posts, but I think you will get a chuckle out of them....
I love Weird Al. Without exception, he does all his parodies BETTER than the original artist did their original song (well, okay - "Like A Virgin" was a little sucky...). The "Complicated Song" is a great example of this. If you go to www.YouTube.com and look up Avril Levine's version you'll see what I mean.
Enjoy!

Go Weird Al :) Thanks for posting the videos, I needed the laugh...
my stepson ken has been playing a weird al cd over and over again, specifically "amish paradise". although i think good ole al is great, i need a break!
I got to see Weird Al once in concert about five years ago. He hasn't been back sense! :P
We should just all agree, Weird Al is the king of this.
He just is.
Oh you know me- been a fan since 1983.
LOVE HIM. Have (blush) seen him in concert at least six times.
