What kind of so-called Weird Al fans STILL can't tell the difference between a direct parody and an original (a.k.a. a "style parody")?
"White & Nerdy" is an example of the former.
This is an example of the latter.
It "sounds like" CAKE, but is not a parody of a specific CAKE song.
If it were a direct parody of "Short Skirt/Long Jacket," the melody and arrangement would be identical -- not similar, but identical -- to that of "Short Skirt/Long Jacket."
Hope this helps, ya friggin' mouthbreathers.
P.S. Needless to say, Forerunnerrocker, you owe Bonehead XL an apology.
