Tribute Songs
   

Welcome to the "Weird Al" Tribute Songs Page!  

Below are songs that are not on the tribute albums, but some are.  Listed by artist


Matthew Hodgson "That One Guy"

This is the Webmaster (Me).  I have a goal to make more "Weird Al" tribute songs than anybody else in the history of the world!  So far I only have 9, but it's a start.  Below are MP3s of my Al tributes, enjoy!

New!  Belvedere Cruisin' (30th Anniversary Remake)

This is a 30th anniversary remake of the rare song, Belvedere Cruisin'.  Belvedere Cruisin', Al's first recorded song, debuted on the Dr. Demento show on March 14th 1976.  This is the first 30th anniversary tribute of an Al song!  Released January 22nd 2006.

New!  Belvedere Cruisin' (30th Anniversary Cover)

This is an accordion version!  Released January 22nd 2006.

The Dr. Demento 35th Anniversary Song

This is a brand new updated remake of The Dr. Demento Anniversary song that was performed by Barnes and Barnes with "Weird Al" back in 1985!  The original song was never released, only played a handful of times on the Dr. Demento show, but now you can download this remake and listen to it as many times as you want!

Originally written by Barnes and Barnes (Al played accordion and sang a few parts)

Updated lyrics (like the newer presidents) written by Matthew Hodgson and performed by Matthew Hodgson "That One Guy"  This is actually a Barnes and Barnes, "Weird Al" and Dr. Demento tribute at the same time! Enjoy!  Recorded on April 29th 2005.

School Cafeteria

This is a cover of School Cafeteria!  School Cafeteria was released on the B side of My Bologna (the bathroom version) in 1979.  Recorded on August 8th 2004.  Oh, by the way, I was the same age Al was when he recorded the original (19).

My Bologna

This is a cover I did of the original bathroom version of My Bologna.  I recorded this in 2002, and remastered it.  In my opinion this is my best cover.  Bermuda seems to think so too since he told me that he thought it was Al singing a long lost version. :)

Since You've Been Gone

This is a cover of Since You've Been Gone from Bad Hair Day.  I used the karaoke track from the Gump CD single; recorded in early 2004

Biggest Fan  

This is my first, and so far only, original tribute.  This song is on Me, Myself, and I (track 7).  The song is basicaly about a guy whos every move is related to Al; his biggest fan.  This was recorded in 2002

The Next three songs were recorded in a karaoke bar.  The VFW on W. 10th St. in Indianapolis, IN.

Addicted to Spuds

This is me singing Addicted to Spuds live, recorded in August of 2003

Grapfruit Diet

Me singing Grapefruit Diet live, recorded January 10th 2003

Yoda

Yoda live, recorded the same night

Food Medley

This is me performing the 2 concert only songs, Fast Food and Free Delivery.  Recorded way back in 2000.  It's kind of low quality around my early recording days, I just have it on here to show that I made an Al tribute back then.

Some Quotes...

"Thanks for the website"

                                  - "Weird Al" Yankovic

"When I heard My Bologna, I thought it was some long-lost version! Great work on all the tunes"

                                  - Jon "Bermuda" Shwartz

"Matt -- your voice sounds a whole lot like 16-year old Al"

                                  - Joe Krause (producer of Al's first tribute album - Me, Myself, and I)

And many more great things were said by many people...


    

Jake Waters 

Jake is a parody artist/satire artist who has been greatly inspired by Al.  He has three "Weird Al" tribute songs.  Amazingly 2 of them are on the 2nd tribute album (Me, Myself, and I)!  Jake and I are pretty much in the same boat when it comes to Al tributes.  Even though I live in Indiana and he lives in Utah (pretty long boat!).  We are pondering the idea of making a tribute together - we've recorded together before.  Keep checkin' back for new songs by Jake.

Groovy Belvedere Cruisin'

Jake performs Al's first song ever (unreleased song he sent to Dr. Demento back in 1976) with a hint of Such a Groovy Guy (from Al's self Titled Album).  He plays the beginning portion of the accordion solo very well, very well indeed.

Mr. Frump in the Iron Lung

Jake performs Mr. Frump in the Iron Lung (from Al's Self  Titled Album).  A great cover, and once again nice accordion work.

Another One Rides the Bus (Live Cover)

Jakes performs Another One Rides the Bus live on his college radio station

Marc and Jon

Marc and Jon have a polka medley of "Weird Al" songs called Polka #27.

New!  Polka #27


Jared Claxon

Jared is the accordionist from The Mindless Tripod Experience.

Here are a couple tributes he submitted to the site!

Feel Like Throwing Up  - This is a cover/add on to the rare song Feel like Throwing Up.  Al wrote 1 verse in 1979 and Jared wrote two verses.  Recorded Dec. 2005

My Bologna  - Jared's cover of My Bologna.  Recorded Dec. 2005


Bob Ricci

Bob has been making funny music for over 10 years.  He has 5 Al covers. 

Chicken Pot Pie

This is a cover and an add on to the rare and unreleased song Chicken Pot Pie.  Al only wrote 1 verse, and Bob Covers it well - then he added his own extra verse.  This song is the result of Al and Bob having the same idea for a parody, and this recording is a merge of both sets of lyrics.  Joe Alba is on guitars, Mike Davidson is on Drums and Bass, and Bob on all Vocals, Piano, and Strings.

Melanie

This an awesome cover of "Melanie" from the Even Worse Album. 

These next three songs are some of his early work.  Unreleased...untill now - thanks to Jake Waters. 

Achy Breaky Song

This is Bob's cover of Achy Breaky Song

Yoda

Bob's version of Yoda

Still Billy Joel To Me

Bob's cover of the unreleased song Still Billy Joel To Me. 

Credits are by Bob only on those last three songs.  Oh and Al Yankovic wrote the lyrics - of course.


Luke Ski

Luke is a parody artist/funny musician/voice impersonator kinda guy.  He has 2 "Weird Al" tribute songs, a remix of one of those songs, 1 semi tribute, and 5 other songs that either mention Al or relate to him.

Below are Links to audio clips, and lyrics of his songs, and info on each song.

Quite A Man For An 'AL' Fan (audio link)

A parody of "Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)" by the Offspring, about being a hard-core "Weird Al" Yankovic fan. Luke Ski got the idea for this song in the hopes that there would be a second 'Prosthetic Lips' "Weird Al" Yankovic tribute album, so he could make a submission. But since that didn't happen, he put the song on his CD "Carpe Dementia" as a hidden track just for fun.  FYI, this song came out in 1999 a few months before "Weird Al's" album "Running With Scissors", which also contained a parody of the same Offspring song, his titled "Pretty Fly For A Rabbi".  Luke had no idea that it was going to be on Al's album, which he likes to chalk up to great minds thinking alike.  It's hidden track #27 on the album "Carpe Dementia", which you can order at www.LukeSki.com.

C'Mon Ride The Bus (audio link)

lyrics - (LYRIC LINK COMING SOON)A parody of "C'mon 'N Ride It (The Train)" by Quad City DJs, a tribute to the 20th anniversary of the live on-the-air recording of "Weird Al" Yankovic's song "Another One Rides The Bus" on "The Dr. Demento Show".  From the album "Uber Geek", which you can order at www.LukeSki.com.
