History Music / BadHairDay

** The last verse of the "Extra Gory" version of "The Night Santa Went Crazy" includes the line "Guess they won't have the fat guy to kick around any more," referencing UsefulNotes/RichardNixon's infamous line after losing the 1962 gubernatorial election, "You don't have Nixon to kick around any more!"

** "Callin' In Sick" - Grunge, specifically Music/{{Nirvana}}'s [[Music/{{Nevermind}} "Come As You Are"]].

* FakeOutOpening: "Alternative Polka" starts with the exact same opening slide guitar riff from Music/{{Beck}}'s "[[Music/MellowGold Loser]]"...then [[SillinessSwitch adds the whistle and the tuba.]]

** "[[Music/MellowGold Loser]]" by Music/{{Beck}}

It features his hit "Amish Paradise," a parody of Music/{{Coolio}}'s "[[Film/DangerousMinds Gangsta's Paradise]]" which infamously got Al in trouble with the rapper, who claimed that he rejected Al's proposal to record the parody and felt that Al was trivializing the gangland drama he was attempting to bring attention to. Despite (or rather [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity because of]]) the controversy, it remains one of his most popular songs and Coolio eventually made peace with it.

* EndOfAnAge: This was Al's last album to feature his "classic" look of a mustache and wire-rimmed glasses. Two years later, he'd have laser eye surgery and shave his upper-lip, which drastically altered his appearance. It was also his last album on longtime label Scotti Bros. Records before the company was bought out by Volcano Entertainment.

* SpokenWordInMusic: A sample of Bart Simpson calling Moe's Tavern from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' plays in "Phony Calls" where the rap breakdown was on the original song ("Waterfalls" by Music/{{TLC}}).

** "Syndicated Incorporated" name-drops several classic and then-popular syndicated TV series, such as ''Series/{{Mash}}'', ''Series/AllInTheFamily, ''Series/Three's Company'', and ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}'', among others.

* AffectionateParody: Coolio wasn't too fond of his song "Gangsta's Paradise" being used by "Weird Al" as a parody without his permission, to put it lightly. [[https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/bp/coolio-did-not-want-weird-al-spoof-gangsta-205954306.html He eventually got over it and apologized.]]

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Implied with the suggestive butter-churning in the "Amish Paradise" video.

* AnAssKickingChristmas: "The Night Santa Went Crazy"

** "Amish Paradise" also includes the line "But I ain't never punched a tourist even if he deserved it", a reference to the movie ''Film/{{Witness}}'', in which Creator/HarrisonFord is a police detective placed undercover in an Amish community to protect a murder witness and punches out a tourist who steals his hat.[[note]]Al would later appear on Creator/{{VH1}}'s ''I Love the '80s'' in a segment called "Movies That Should Have Been in [=3D=]," with ''Witness'' being one of them. According to him, the Amish would have still been plain and simple folk, but they'd have been plain and simple ''in your face!''[[/note]]

* AnAssKickingChristmas: “The Night Santa Went Crazy”

“Merry Christmas to all, now you’re all gonna die!”''

* ComedicSociopathy: “I Remember Larry”.

-->"A local boy kicked me in the butt last week
-->I just smiled at him and I turned the other cheek
-->I really don't care, in fact I wish him well
-->'cause I'll be laughing my head off when he's burning in Hell!"

-->''I want to (POINK!) you like an animal!''
-->''I want to feel you from the inside!''
-->''I want to (CLANG!) you like an animal!''

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In the uncensored version of "The Night Santa Went Crazy" (in which Santa is killed in the shootout), no mention is made of Vixen and Donner's fates. In the original song, the former is in therapy and the latter is simply "still nervous".

* TheDogBitesBack: The last verse of "I Remember Larry". [[spoiler:The singer ends up tying Larry's mouth with a rag, "[dragging] him by the ankles to the middle of the forest and [stuffing] him in a big plastic bag".]]

* DownerEnding: "The Night Santa Went Crazy". Depending on which version you listen to, it ends with Santa Claus either in jail for several hundred years or dead. In the Extra Gory version, Al mentions that children will no longer get any Christmas presents, and the elves are forced to file for unemployment.

* LyricalDissonance: The last verse of "I Remember Larry". Also "The Night Santa Went Crazy".

* EgocentricallyReligious: Parodied with "Amish Paradise", about an Amish man singing about how much he enjoys his simple life. He's mostly portrayed as a pretty decent upstanding person who happens to prefer the life of a "crazy Mennonite" but he admits at points that the reason he acts like a decent, forgiving person to everyone, even people who mock or assault him, is because he believes he'll be going to Heaven and will be laughing his head off while those people are burning in Hell.

* {{Pun}}: Another possible example in "I Remember Larry," after he talks about tying the titular pranker's mouth with a rag and leaving him for dead:
