      Great fun, GM, thanks for this.

      One technical point, although Yankovich is parodying "Subterranean Homesick Blues" with the visuals here, right down to a Ginsberg look-alike in the background, the rhythm and phrasing of the song more closely approximates "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream", also on the Bringing it all back Home album. Yankovich would've delighted in that song because Dylan starts without the band behind him, and breaks into infectious laughter. The album producers chose to leave it in the final product -- wisely!

          Good choice GM. Al has been a fav for a while now. I really love how he takes good songs and even some of the bad ones and make fun of it.

          This one was one of best IMO.

          I have tried to look for the Soundgarden one he did. But I guess *sshole Son is too offensive for YouTube.

                  Isn't there a spoof of Michael Jackson's "Thriller", with Yankovich doing a crazy guitar solo -- the guitar eventually exploding? (or was that someone else?)

                                    I saw another 80's vid ; different song though;where they had each band member do the "cue card" thing. It was a good tune too.
