A list of Weird Al "Style Parody" songs- songs he's written that don't directly parody another song (www.weirdalstar.com)

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.

Last time I was on a road trip, the 10-minute-long "Stuck In The Drive-Thru" came up on my stream and about halfway through, my daughter in the back seat goes "Who is this?!? It's epic!" I think she's been hooked on Weird Al ever since?

I thought that was making fun of R. Kellys Trapped In The Closet

It is, that one's a straight-up parody, not a pastiche like the songs in the link.

Oh I didn't know that! I will have to check out the original.
