Pop parody artist “Weird Al” Yankovic’s new album Mandatory Fun includes punny takes on the latest hit music — from Pharrell’s “Happy” (“Tacky”) to Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” (“Word Crimes”). The parodies are taking the internet by storm, including Al’s ode to aluminum foil — “Foil” – a parody of Lorde’s 2013 smash hit “Royals”.
“I never bother with baggies, glass jars, tupperware containers
Plastic cling wrap, really a no-brainer
I just like to keep all my flavors sealed in tight
With aluminum foil (foil)
Never settle for less
That kind of wrap is just the best
To keep your sandwich nice and fresh”
— from “Foil”
