I think that many of us who grew up listening to Weird Al in the 70s up till about the mid 90s or so missed out on a lot of his material because MTV changed format and the Dr. Demento Show didn't exist anymore.
And I'm sure age, life, getting married, having children and other priorities got in the way.
Anyways, I always loved the Doors and most of their music.
Like 95% of it.
I just found out that Weird Al did a parody of Jim Morrison and Holy Shit does he go Hard on the song.
It's pretty awesome.
And the Kicker is that Ray Manzarek played keyboards on the studio recording of the song with Weird Al.
Whatever... listen to it or not but he/it needs to be promoted in my opinion.


I love Weird Al. He nails this. He almost always does.

The cousin of a girl I dated back in the 70's was an award-winning accordion player from Sheppton PA. I saw him do a couple of lounge-type performances. So I was appreciative of Weird Al's expertise with an accordion. The place I grew up had an hour-long polka hour (named "Polka Party") on the radio every day, so I was hip to where Weird Al was coming from with his Polka Party album.
