I'm putting together a Weird Al tribute post for my blog (
http://covermesongs.blogspot.com) and am looking for some suggestions of covers of Al song (parodies or originals) you like. Thanks!!
For those who haven't seen it, the Prosthetic Lips tribute album has some good stuff:

I'm pretty sure this goes in the Fan Creativity section, not Music. Other than that,I have no suggestions.

Thanks for the move! I'm not just looking for fan covers though (though I guess every cover would be by a fan in a way). Any covers people like will do!

I've always thought the perfect "tribute album" to Weird Al would be to get the original artists Al has parodied over the years to cover the Weird Al parody. A lot of them are pretty washed up now and would do it. And maybe you get one or two big ones who sign on as a surprise. It could be a really cool product if it was ambitious.

Oh by the way the best Weird Al cover I've ever heard is Throwing Toasters "Good Enough For Now." Much better than the original, IMO.

Agreed. I was going to say something about that.
