The second half of the video is better, but the whole thing is good. I love Weird Al.

“Word Crimes” is excellent and right up at the top with White & Nerdy, IMHO.

I don’t recognize the songs he’s parodying anymore. Guess I’m officially old.

I really like his new “Tacky”, too. It’s very catchy!

While I am not a big fan of modern music I find ‘Royals’ to be a pretty neat song. Lorde has a very interesting voice and her harmonies are quite good. In my personal opinion Weird Al has outdone himself. This parody is sheer genius. I am off to the kitchen to make me a foil hat in his honor!

I'll see your Lorde, and raise you a Wilko Johnson, with a Roger Daltrey high card......

Count yourself among good company..

I googled the "original" version...I like Weird Al's version better...

Being a KC Royal fan, I am familiar with the song and even though my musical tastes are much older, I found I liked the song. Weird Al hit a home run which is more than the Royals can do now days.

Check out all of Postmodern Jukebox’s stuff. Here’s a fantastic cover of GnR’s “Sweet Child O’ Mine”:
