Close But No Cigar Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Eamon

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.
