A list of Weird Al "Style Parody" songs- songs he's written that don't directly parody another song (www.weirdalstar.com)

It doesn't include "First World Problems," which was very much a sort of song The Pixies would have written in terms of the music style.

Mark Knopfler only allowed him to parody Money for Nothing if Knopfler himself played the guitar solo on the recording. So it's a very odd case of a parody song with the guy who wrote and performed the original song playing on the track.

Also, Greg Kihn is in the I Lost on Jeopardy video.
