It doesn’t include “First World Problems,” which was very much a sort of song The Pixies would have written in terms of the music style.

That’s because a lot of these are “style parodies” where he parodies the style of a certain band.

Everything You Know Is Wrong is famously a style parody of They Might Be Giants.

Once you hear the style you can’t unhear it. He nails TMBG uncannily.

The only way Everything You Know Is Wrong could get any better is if TMBG did a cover of it.

A fair number of the original artists have been outlasted by Al, but I deeply wish we could get an album of them covering Weird Al’s style covers. I think TMBG would be up for it, and I suspect you could get Trent Reznor to cover “Germs.”
