The Doors vs. Weird Al Yankovic



Light My Fire
The Doors
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl we couldn’t get much higher

Come on baby light my fire
Come on baby light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Come on baby light my fire
Come on baby light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Oh yeah

The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Come on baby light my fire
Come on baby light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl we couldn’t get much higher

Come on baby light my fire
Come on baby light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire

NOTE: The following song by Weird Al Yankovic is another homage to a particular style—instead of a parody of a particular song, and The Door’s Light My Fire was close enough for the girls I used to go out with. Again, I don’t think you’ll mind all that much, but if you do, just contact [Rush Limbaugh] or [Glenn Beck] and see how far you’ll get with something that doesn’t portray the [American Democratic Party] in a poor light.





Craigslist
Weird Al Yankovic
Whoa yeah

You’ve got a ’65
Chevy Malibu
With automatic drive
A custom paint job too
I’ll trade you for my old wheelbarrow
And a slightly-used sombrero
And I’ll even throw in a stapler
If you insist

Craigslist
I’m on Craigslist baby
Come on
Yeah

Well we shared a quick glance
Saturday at the mall
I never took a chance
Never approached you at all
You were a blonde half-Asian with a bad case of gas
I was wearin’ red Speedos and a hockey mask
Come on let’s find that love connection
That we missed

On Craigslist
Yeah Craigslist
Come on
I’m on Craigslist
Well baby
Maybe you are too
Bee bomp
A chonk
A donk
Bim bang boo

An open letter to the snotty barista
At the Coffee Bean on San Vicente Boulevard
I know there were 20 people behind me in line
But I was on cell phone call with my mother
Didn’t you see me hold up my index finger
That means I’ll order my soy decaf hazelnut latte
In just a couple of minutes
So what’s with the attitude lady
No tip for you

Got a trash can of Styrofoam peanuts
You can have ‘em for free
You can drop by on the weekend
And pick ‘em from me
But the trash can ain’t part of the deal
Only givin’ you the peanuts
Get real
Don’t have no Hefty bags
So bring your own
Don’t bug me with questions
On the phone
Don’t ask for help
Don’t waste my time
And don’t complain
‘Cause they won’t cost you a dime
Just ask yourself
Do you want my Styrofoam peanuts
You can have my Styrofoam peanuts
Do you want my Styrofoam peanuts
You can have ‘em all

They’re on Craigslist
Yeah
Craigslist
Oh baby
Come on
I’m on Craigslist
Craigslist
Craigslist
I’m on Craigslist
Craigslist
Craigslist
Now
Craigslist

  3. Love the doors and how could you not be entertained by weird al. I just want to know how many times it takes him to get through one of these videos without cracking up.

  4. Thanks for stopping by again (and again), my dear Coleen!!! "You can have anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant." Whoa, where did that come from? Yeah, from Arlo Guthrie originally, but... Anyway, I look forward to seeing Craigslist on your site.

  5. Well, I would think that it would take quite a lot to crack up someone who could wear red Speedos and a hockey mask to a mall. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!!

  6. Weird Al has made me laugh for years but The Doors rock. RIP Jim.

  7. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Ryan!!! I don't know why, but I have never been all that much of a Doors fan. For I truly love several of their songs--especially Riders On The Storm, but over-all, they just never really did it for me. Nonetheless, I do hope Jim Morrison is now at peace.

Since the Blogger spam filter has been found sorely lacking lately, I will start moderating comments. Be assured that I am only interested in deleting spam. So, if you feel a need to take me to task over something—even anonymously, go ahead and let 'er rip, and I will publish it as soon as I can.
