Check out the video for "Word Crimes". You actually don't have to be familiar with the source song or the source video (nothing to do with *that*). If you're upset by grammar peeves, it's amusing.

The one thing I'll give him is that he can right a song divorced from the source material if that's where the lyrics take him. Going back a ways, "Eat It" is too close to "Beat It", but "I Lost On Jeopardy" is funny on its own with little resemblance to the source material. (Bonus question for the readers: what was the name of the song satirized?)

his style parodies, where he does a song like a certain group yet it isn't to any particular song, are awesome. My favorite is "Dare to Be Stupid" which is perfect Devo.

"Our Love's in Jeopardy" by the Greg Kihn Band - full disclosure, I remembered the song name, but had to look up the artist.
