Daily Song Discussion #28: Yoda

:Discussion: Discussion

This is the fifth track from "Weird Al" Yankovic's third album, Dare to Be Stupid. This song is a parody of Lola by The Kinks. How do you feel about this song? What are some of your favorite lyrics? How would you rank it among the rest of Al's discography? How would you rate it out of 10 (decimals allowed)? Did you know this song or the original version first?

Studio version

SUGGESTED SCALE:
1-4: Like a polka without an accordion. I usually skip it.
5: It’s okay - maybe if I’m in a very specific mood (or trapped in a Tupperware party).
6: Decent. I won’t skip it, but I’m not throwing it on the jukebox either.
7: Solid! Like a good plate of Twinkie Wiener Sandwiches - strangely satisfying.
8-9: Highly enjoyable — Weird Al firing on most of his cylinders (and maybe one extra).
10: Comedy gold, accordion perfection, certified Weird Al masterpiece.

At the end of this discussion series, I will compile the results from each discussion and create a full discography ranking.
