Weird Al Yankovic's "Good Old Days" is a style parody of Kenny Loggins.
I didn't realize it until Kristen played "Pooh Corner" and I realize I knew the melody..

Go ahead. Try it yourself. Play Pooh Corner and then Good Old Days.

Woot-yo! :) I feel special for figuring out another style parody!

Now if I only could figure out what "Hardwore Store" is a Style Parody of!

Current Mood: accomplished
Current Music: Weird Al Yankovic - Good Old Days

Hardware Store is definitely an original, but it's styled like Mean Green Creatures from Outer Space sounds a bit like Thomas Dolby's Hyperactive! and Mr. Popeil sounds a bit like the B52s Rock Lobster.

The patter near the end reminds me of the local Tyson's Corner (VA) shopping commercial they had on the radio a couple years back, but that's pretty much it.

Actually, I wonder if Hardware Store is actually a style parody of Queen. There is alot in there that sounds like a couple of Queen songs I know (including Bohemian Rhapsody).
It's certainly possible. Al's definately exploring his "Classic Rock" roots.. ala Bob, Party at the Leper Colony and, of course, Ode To A Superhero
