"Yo, Ding Dong man?" Back to Weird Alsville. Unfortunately "Fat" is another youtube with embedding disabled, but it's about the sixth best song on Even Worse. That was a solid album with tons of great one word songs like "Lasagna", "Twister", and "Melanie" (a non-parodic pop song that sounds like it was co-written by Marshall Crenshaw and Warren Zevon).
"Melanie" is one of my all-time Weird Al faves, followed closely behind this one "(This Song Is Just) Six Words Long".

Nicely done video. Two points: (1) I remember at the time George Harrison's Cloud Nine came out being annoyed that even though "Got My Mind Set On You" (the basis for he Weird Al song) was a cover, it was credited as such nowhere on the CD. There were no composer credits at all - a puzzlingly common situation, particularly then. (2) "(This Song Is Just) 6 Words Long" is seven words long.
