Ouch. :blush: Methinks we have no choice now but to

Another original I like is "Slime Creatures from Outer Space".

"Smells like Nirvana" (How dare you neglect that one, Pug! :p) is his best parody. I haven't been able to take the original seriously since.

Well it sure beats raisin' cattle!
 
Hey, don't forget his breakthrough first hit "My Bologna" recorded in a bathroom with only his trusty accordian. Gotta love Al.
