These songs don't hit the spot the same way White and Nerdy, Amish Paradise, Couch Potato, or Smells Like Nirvana does for me. I think it is because the songs nowadays on the radio are even worse than they used to be. I don't care for the songs happy, Blurred Lines, or Royals. The songs work so much better if you like the original song it is parodying.

I don't think that's super important. I didn't even know the song White and Nerdy was parodying, I disliked Gangsta Paradise and Smells like Teen Spirit. (And I don't know Coach Potato or its parody.)

I think Tacky, Word Crimes, and Foil are as good as just about anything he's done. And Word Crimes in particular disproves your thesis--I detest Blurred Lines and Robin Thicke with a passion.

I liked Dutch Fairy singing I like the choke chain I like to poke main.

Weird Al's Foil song starts off as one of the dumbest lyrically written songs all time and then halfway through it it takes a change for the better and becomes one of the best lyrically written songs the universe has ever seen. Dat **** is deep, doe.
