Interesting how the debate still rages on about the lyrics.

I have to say I still love the job Weird Al did with his parody.  It just kills me everytime I see it!

In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

Not his funniest parody but it has some of the most clever lyrics of anything he has done IMO!   ::thumbsup::

I've been a fan of Weird Al for a very long time. Can't think of anything that he's done that I didn't like.  ::thumbsup::

I like McLean's attitude.  He just let's it stand, and let's you take out of it what you will.  THAT is what art used to be all about.
