Look up The Funky Western Civilization on youtube, there are some major similarities there. Definitely a near parody

Thanks! I'd never heard any of Tonio K.'s music before, Yankovic's song makes more sense now.

I haven't done this in a long time. I need to start doing it again. Very fun song. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

I just listened to Tonio K's 'Funky Western Civilization'. Interesting song. I see now what inspired 'Happy Birthday'.

If I don't know the other person that well, this is my go-to thing to post on people's walls on their birthday.

Fun fact: Damaskas sings background vocals on this.

OMG someone did that to me today for my birthday considering how she knows about how much of a Weird Al kick I'm on! <3 Love this song!

Wish I could catch this one as it is the only rocking original being done off the first ALbum. It's a shame Al chooses not to do the accordion solo even though the accordion is just sitting there beside him. Instead Jim carries out his killer solo for those bars, which is damn cool. They definitely not pulling this one out enough.
