This leads to a subsection of The Old Jokes devoted to the hilarity and transgression of incest and all of the wackiness, societal condemnation and serious birth defects that go along with it. Weird Al Yankovic originally released A Complicated Song written by Scott Spock, Graham Edwards, Lauren Christy, Avril Lavigne and Weird Al Yankovic and. Our hero is getting ready to propose to his girlfriend when he discovers the horrifying reason they’re so wonderfully alike: they’re related, as evidenced by the family crest on his object of desire’s thigh. The second verse, meanwhile, explicitly deals with romance, albeit in a decidedly different manner than Avril’s original.
But rather than follow in the footsteps of the original and document adolescent angst and frustration, we make an unexpected detour into the land of gastrointestinal distress when our hapless hero takes home the leftover pizza and soon finds himself in the grips of the worst kind of constipation.Īl has a lot of fun thinking of words that sound like complicated, but also with the particular vocabulary related to “constipated”, “related” and “decapitated”, like when he rhymes “constipated” with “bowels evacuated” and then “bowels evacuated” with “colon irrigated.” These are all phrases you would never expect to hear in a pop song except in one by American pop parodist “Weird Al” Yankovic. In the first verse, the singer is invited to a pizza party and is bummed to discover they’re the only guest. We explore three of those words in detail over the course of the song, starting with “constipated” and rising in absurdity and darkness until we get to “decapitated” and a singer whose defiance and stubbornness somehow remains even after their head and body are very dramatically separated. “A Complicated Song” is a song about words, specifically words that sound like “complicated”, of which there are a great deal.
The same is true of the “Hot in Herre” parody “Trash Day”, the “Piano Man” parody “Ode to a Superman” and the “Lose Yourself” spoof “Couch Potato.” “Ebay” is the only parody on the album that’s conventionally titled, one of several reasons it might have been a stronger first single than “Lose Yourself.” Haven't been the same since my head and I were separated.Like a surprising number of the parodies on this album, “A Complicated Song” has a title that is not sung in the song’s chorus.
