It never fails...whenever this song starts, I always think it's "Come As You Are", and then a few seconds later, I realize it's something even better.
In style parodies you are supposed to hear parts of songs by the artists he is parodying, that's why the beginning is Come as you Are. Germs for example is a Nine Inch Nails style parody, so you hear parts of their songs in the style parody.
He does song parodies, style parodies, original songs, and polka medleys of songs. So anyone who only thinks he does song parodies is ignorant.
this is an origional (he wrote the lyrics), but it is a style parody of Nirvana..
The intro is obviously "Come As You Are" inspired, and it follows the usual formula of... soft verse, heavy chorus.... even the lyrics are a semi-parody of the "angst ridden" formula
has any one else noticed that the number 27 come up a lot in weird al songs even when it's not in the song it's somewhere in the video if there is one
@ieatpoopforlunch Actually, no this is not a real parody. BUT "Weird Al" Yankovic does Originals Polke Melodies, Parodies, and Style Parodies.

Noting that Nirvana was basically a parody of the Pixies, it makes sense that you all would be so confused. Because you're dumb as shit
