    It is not a parody of any particular Doors song, but done in the style of The Doors, and features organ work from Doors' keyboardist Ray Manzarek. And, I've been screaming 'Craaaaaaigggslist' quite a bit of the day at odd moments. Great song by Al.

    Easy link to video.

    One of the few Weird Al songs I don't like.

    Not bad - not especially good either though.
    'Straight Outta Lynwood' was very good for the most part. 'Pancreas' had me in stitches and 'I'll Sue Ya' is my new catch phrase when someone ticks me off. 'Close, But No Cigar' is also good, as is 'Stuck In The Drive Through'.
    'White & Nerdy' was OK and I think this new track sits near it IMO.

    I'm kinda unimpressed by this one. :(  I usually can find something to laugh about with a "Weird" Al song, but...not this one. Just kinda boring, actually.

    Has he actually hit the end of his career?

    I guess for me is that I love his ebay song from a few years back, and this one is kind of a similar attempt. Just not nearly as good.

    I don't like it as much as 'Whatever You Like," the other song he's released so far. Not bad for a free listen, though.
