I had heard the name a bit when I was young, but I wasn't quite sure exactly what he was.  Maybe he was just some guy that everyone knew?  A comedian?  After seeing a few parodies it became clear that he did a few, but later on I found his CD's at a second hand CD store and started buying them.  Only then did I realise that he made a living doing not only parodies, but original comedy songs and was more than just some cameo character.

There are only 2 Weird Al albums that I don't have, UHF, and "Peter and the Wolf"
