(Shot 2/28/92) directed by Jay Levey
5.		YOU DONíT LOVE ME ANYMORE Although this song is an Al original, the video for ìYou Donít Love Me Anymoreî was closely modeled after ìMore Than Wordsî by Extreme.

6.		BEDROCK ANTHEM parody of ìUnder The Bridgeî and ìGive It Awayî by Red Hot Chili Peppers This video was shot on the exact same patch of desert (about two hours outside of L.A.) as the original.

(Shot 8/29, 8/31/94) directed by Al Yankovic
10.		DARE TO BE STUPID Although an original composition, ìDare To Be Stupidî is obviously an homage to the group DEVO, as well as, of course, Alís motto in life. (Shot 5/28, 5/29/85) directed by Jay Levey and Robert K. Weiss
11.		EAT IT parody of "Beat It" by Michael Jackson Alís Grammy Award-winning parody ìEat Itî was an immediate international success, thanks largely to this tremendously popular video.

15.		ONE MORE MINUTE This original sick and twisted Elvis-like doo-wop love ballad has become a perennial favorite among the relationship-impaired.

20.		RICKY parody of ìMickeyî by Toni Basil Besides being Alís music video debut, this was arguably the first comedy video ever shown on MTV.

21.		CHRISTMAS AT GROUND ZERO This cheery Phil Spector-inspired original tune about death, destruction and the end of the world was largely banned by broadcasters, who somehow decided that it was a tad morbid to play a song about nuclear annihilation during the holidays.
