Starfish - you are right when you say that this is NOT a parody. It isn't. It's a setting of the Queen song to a polka beat. If you had heard the song yourself, I think you would see the talent in it. And to say that Weird Al has no talent is just wrong. He does parody popular songs, but he also writes a number of songs himself. It takes a certain amount of intelligence (and talent) to fit new words into existing songs (or in this case, to set existing songs to new rhythms). Haven't you ever heard that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? However, since I know that nothing I say will change your mind, let me invite you to try it yourself sometime and then we'll talk some more.
