* DummiedOut: The credits mention Music/{{Weezer}} in the "Special Thanks" section despite the fact that Al was forced to cut the "Buddy Holly" snippet from "The Alternative Polka" (see WhatCouldHaveBeen below). According to Al, the liner notes had already been printed by the time they were forced to remove the song, and it was too late to change them.

*** Though Music/{{Beck}}'s "Loser" ended up being the first song featured in "The Alternative Polka", it was originally slated for a parody, titled "Schmoozer".

* ExecutiveMeddling: Essentially the cause of Coolio's beef with Weird Al. Al usually got permission directly from celebrities for his parodies (even though he does not legally have to) but occasionally relied on the studio heads to do that for him. His producer got permission from Coolio's producer but not Coolio. After that incident, Al goes directly to the artist for permission.

** Coolio originally hated "Amish Paradise" for belittling the gangland drama he was trying to bring attention to and because he hadn't personally given Al consent. However, the two held no ill will towards one another and, after giving it a second thought, Coolio admitted that he overreacted and loves the song.

*** A ''Literature/GreenEggsAndHam''-themed parody of "Numb" by Music/{{U2}}. In a variation of the above two situations, the band said yes to the parody, but the [[Creator/DrSeuss Seuss]] estate [[ScrewedByTheLawyers said no]]. Since the ''band'' didn't say no, Al decided to parody their theme song to ''Film/BatmanForever'' instead.
