Weird Al is known for his long list of parody's of movies, music and pop culture.  Using the same tune as Happy, Tacky parody's the song by changing the musical lyrics, this is a common form of parody that has been done many times.

Stewie- Rocket Man

This video is almost a double parody, as Stewie from Family Guy Parody's William Shatner's interpretation of Billy Joel's song, Rocket Man. I'm not sure if you can count William Shatner's version as a parody but Stewie is without doubt referencing Shatner's version in this clip as seen by the obvious similarities between the two,

Epic Movie 

Epic movie is a feature length parody take on many well known films. The movie uses parody as its comedic value and the main plot-line of the whole story. There have been many movies along the same lines as|Epic Movie, such as Not Another Teen Movie, The Scary Movie Franchise, and Vampire's Suck.

Stop Motion Inspiration

I really like this animation, the use of string to portray the characters is beautiful, the animation uses music and movement to express the emotions that the characters are portraying. I think as a style for stop motion this looks clean and well put together.

This animation uses a combination of clay and props to show the personality of water. I like how the creative ideas are bought across the mediums.

This stop motion animation manages to capture the character emotions without dialogue aswell. I like how the characters interact and build a friendship together in the short time frame of the animation
