I was at the supermarket one time and I heard the music they were playing and thought, "They're playing Weird Al?" And then I was like, "Wait, those aren't the words to King of Suede"

There are plenty of Weird Al songs where I only know the Weird Al version.

The parodies on Bad Hair Day are all this way for me. I heard them before the originals.

Yeah there are definitely ones like that, especially on the pre 00s albums

Funny you bring up that album, I'm currently listening to it. It's so good, right in the middle of his peak.

I remember the days of Bob Rivers parodies being rampantly mislabeled as Weird Al parodies

I heard all of the originals first (for nearly all of his songs) - but most of the time when I hear the Weird Al version it kind of erases the original version out of my brain so the Weird Al version is the only one I can remember if I hear the song and try to sing it.

Same with this one - which was even more confusing because Weird Al actually had two Star Wars parodies:

Stuff used to get mislabeled on Napster all the time.

Even more interesting is when they'd label them as Al even though the vocals sounded nothing like him.

He never used voice changers, things like Girls Just Wanna Have Lunch and Young, Dumb and Ugly were still him, though the latter I read he went outside his normal voice register which dampens his opinion of that song.
