Coolia was in no way O.K. with Weird Al's Amish Paradise. Quite the opposite. He nearly sued him and publicly scorned him for doing his song injustice. From Wikipedia... One of Yankovic's most controversial parodies was 1996's "Amish Paradise", based on "Gangsta's Paradise" by hip-hop artist Coolio, which, in turn, was based on "Pastime Paradise" by Stevie Wonder. Reportedly, Coolio's label gave Yankovic the impression that Coolio had granted permission to record the parody, but Coolio maintains that he never did. While Coolio claimed he was upset, legal action never materialized, and Coolio accepted royalty payments for the song. Your list was awesome but you really should do a little research.

I saw Al live at the Menage in Pontiac Michigan around 1983. It was a very small place and I was able to snag the play list taped to Al's monitor. I would rank Pentiums and Amish higher and would have discounted White and Nerdy as it needs to stand the test of time (I don't like ranking new stuff high, but that's just me). Good collection.

To this day, it's one of those short songs that still repeats over and over in your head.

Alright well he might not be timeless, but he sure is funny. One of the best parodists that I've seen, he consistently delivers. I especially enjoy when he ventures into areas that might not be as familiar to him (like all of the rap videos). Weird Al is classic and timeless.
