# "Party In The CIA"[[note]]Parody of Music/MileyCyrus' "Party In The U.S.A."[[/note]]

** "Party in the CIA" parodies "Party in the USA" by Music/MileyCyrus to tell the story of a weirdly enthusiastic CIA agent.

-->''"I shoulda listened when my grandfather said''\\
'''Why don't you major in business instead?'"''

** "Party in the CIA" readily comes to mind, as [[spoiler:the protagonist is captured and is about to be executed.]]

-->''"Why did I buy the stupid ringtone?''\\
''I just can't imagine now''\\
''what I was thinking at all!''\\
''(Really, what was I thinking?)''\\
''My friends all stare at me whenever I get a call!''\\
''Well, everybody (everybody)''\\
''everybody (everybody)''\\
''everybody in the world really hates my ringtone!"''

* GratuitousFrench: Parodied in "Perform This Way"
-->''And for no reason now I'll sing in French''\\
''Excusez-moi, Qui a pété?'' (Translation: Excuse me, who farted?)

** "Another Tattoo" is a parody of "Nothin' on You" by Music/BobRapper and Music/BrunoMars, about a guy who's borderline-addicted to getting tattoos.

* GeniusBruiser: Charles Nelson Reilly was, according to Al, a ninja warrior who could rip out your heart AndShowItToYou. He also figured out cold fusion (although he kept it a secret).

''Alpocalypse'' is the thirteenth studio album by Music/WeirdAlYankovic, which was released in 2011. It contains some songs that were previously released on his 2009 EP ''Internet Leaks''.

# "TMZ"[[note]]Parody of Music/TaylorSwift's "You Belong With Me"[[/note]]

** "Ringtone" - Music/{{Queen}}, specifically "Don't Stop Me Now".

* ClassicallyTrainedExtra: "Skipper Dan" is built on this trope. It's the tale of a former up-and-coming, critically-acclaimed Broadway actor... who is stuck giving shows on the "Jungle Cruise" at Disneyland.

* DeconstructiveParody: The original "Whatever You Like" is a song about a rich rapper buying whatever his girlfriend wants. Weird Al's parody is about someone who was made broke by the then-recent recession and treats them to things like White Castle and Government Cheese.

** The late Ray Manzarek, keyboardist for Music/TheDoors, played keyboards and bass on the Doors style parody "Craigslist".

* LongestSongGoesLast: The album ends with "Stop Forwarding That Crap To Me" (5:42)

* NakedPeopleAreFunny: From "Perform This Way:"

* SunkCostFallacy: In “Ringtone”, the protagonist explains that he absolutely despises his ringtone, that it’s caused him nothing but trouble, and he can’t even remember why he bought it in the first place... but he refuses to just delete it because he doesn’t want to waste the $1.99 he spent on it.

* DeathByMusicVideo: In the AnimatedMusicVideo for "Party in the CIA", Al plays a young CIA operative undergoing a number of illegal missions to destabilize other countries. [[spoiler: He's eventually captured and tortured by the general he's supposed to assassinate, last seen having a [[DieLaughing good-hearted laugh]] as he stares down the barrel of a gun]].

** "Tik Tok" by [[Music/{{Kesha}} Ke$ha]]

** "Another Tattoo" is a parody of "Nothin' on You" by Music/BoB and Music/BrunoMars, about a guy who's borderline-addicted to getting tattoos.

* Another Tattoo

-->''When everybody (everybody)''

* AffectionateParody: "Perform This Way" for Music/LadyGaga's "Born This Way", as it doesn't make fun of the topic she sings about in her song, but rather about Lady Gaga and her costumes, celebrating her CloudCuckoolander-ness.

* BestialityIsDepraved: In "CNR", Creator/CharlesNelsonReilly "made sweet, sweet love to a manatee." Rather than thinking it depraved, the singer is very impressed.

-->"He ate his own weight in coal/and excreted diamonds every day."
-->"He can eat more frozen waffles/than any other man I know."
-->"I've seen the man unhinge his jaw/and swallow a Volkswagen whole."

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Everyone despises Al's ringtone. His wife, his friends, his neighbors, his coworkers, total strangers -- '''everyone.'''
-->''"Chinese factory workers (they hate my ringtone)\\
Muslim women in burqas (really hate my ringtone)\\
Starving kids in Angola (they hate my ringtone)\\
Even folks with ebola (just hate my ringtone)\\
All the nuns and nannies (all the welfare mothers)\\
All the Pakistanis (all the Wayans brothers)\\
Everyone on the land, everyone in the sea\\
Every single person everywhere unanimously!"''
