Has Weird Al Yankovic Ruined Your Life?

On Weird Al Yankovic 46th birthday (he was born on October 23, 1959) I have to ask this question: Has Weird Al ruined music for you?

What I mean is, when a song that he parodied comes on the radio, do you sing the parody version over the real version? For example, whenever Lola comes on the radio, I always sing "Yoda, Y-O-D-A Yoda. Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoooo-Da." Achy-Breaky Hearts becomes "don't play that song, that achy-breaky song, the most annoying song I know. And if you play that song, that achy-breaky song, I might throw out my radio." There's no more "Like A Virgin;" it's "Like A Surgeon." And of course, The Rye or the Kaiser.

So, is it just me?

scott, you may have misunderstood (or I wasn't extremely clear.) I love Weird Al. Always Have. (And I'm talking way back when Michael Jackson was popular and not the freak he is today.) (That is, of course, referring to 'Eat It'.)

I had completely forgotten about this website!
I'm a lot more mature now and I honestly wonder what I what I was thinking back then.
Yes, I still listen to Weird Al, he is awesomeness.
But, I've now opened up to more music, not just little parodies.
And yes, I do sing over the top of music on the radio,
Only for one reason....
Because my whole family loves me singing, they think I'm really good(which I am),
But I enjoy having fun, singing comedic songs, then singing a boring love song.
