A Wierd Al 

When someone expresses their views and thoughts to the public to the tune of a popular hit tune, with different lyrics.
Here is an example of a wierd Al tune.

Dedicated to my ''friends'' in the music and entertainment industry:
(sung sarcastically to the tune of Abba’s thank you for the music, with a punk rock backing)

Thank you for the madness, the turmoil you’ve been bringing,
Thanks for all the nightmares and singing,
Who can live in this world I ask in all honesty,
What would life be,
Without a home or a job what can I be,
So I say thank you for the madness, for giving it to me.
-Written by ‘Weird’ Al Yankovich

Weird Al Syndrome 

A disorder of the brain characterized by the inability to hear a song without being able to hear the Weird Al version's lyrics over the music.
I was listening to Coolio's Gangstas Paradise, and all I could hear was Amish Paradise. I must have Weird Al Syndrome.

Weird Al Yankovic 

one of the greatest musical geniuses of all time
Some of my favorite Weird Al Yankovic songs include "The Saga Begins," "Smells Like Nirvana," "Eat It," "Another One Rides the Bus," "Couch Potato," "Trash Day," "Fat," "Amish Paradise," "The Night Santa Went Crazy," "Your Horoscope For Today," "Albequerque," "A Complicated Song," "Ebay," "Ode to a Superhero," "Gump," and "I Love Rocky Road."

Short for "Weird Al Yankovic".

A living legend that has made his name in spotlights for creating clever parodies of other hit songs. He even starred in one movie called UHF, which was highly underappreciated then, but now it's a cult classic. Overall, Weird Al is better off in music than in movies, despite how funny UHF was.
"Hey I know this song it's......hey this isn't Weird Al!!"

Full Name: Weird Al Yankovich.

Funny guy who writes great lyrics usually as parodies of infectious hit songs. A common misconception is that Weird Al writes lyrics to make fun of other artists, but that simply is not true. He always gets permission from the artists before he publishes his parodies. The one time an artist complained about a parody that Weird Al wrote, it turned out to be communication error. Sometimes artists will even approach him to do parodies of their songs.

Some musicians have noted that in order for one to know if they have really "made it" in the music business is to have one of your songs parodied by Al!

Although his lyrics are funny, often VERY funny, Weird Al doesn't have the best voice, nor is he the best entertainer. In fact many find that his vocals and accordian accompaniments are very annoying.
I THOUGHT I was getting tired of Achy-Breaky Heart until Weird Al did a parody of it. Now I KNOW I'm sick of it, AND the parody.

Listen to Albuquerque by Weird Al, that's a 10 minute classic.
