From 1983, please enjoy (hasn't really been funny since "Another One Rides the Bus") musical parodist "Weird" Al Yankovic and his version of you-know-who's "Beat It."
"Eat It."
Jeebus, what a masterstroke. What a fricking coup. Seriously -- compared to this, S. J. Perelman's Farewell, My Lovely Appetizer is a back issue of CRACKED. Compared to this, Jane Austen's Northranger Abbey is...well, you get the idea.
In any case, a coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded to the first reader who gleans the clip's relevance to the theme of tomorrow's Weekend Listomania.

"From the moment I clicked on this link until the second I clicked out, I couldn't stop laughing. Someday I intend to watch it" -- Groucho Marx on S.J. Perelman's parody video of "Whatever it is, I'm Against It."
Messages from the Catfood Commission to the American public?
Okay -- as annoyed as this makes me, I have to give it to Edward. Although I won't say which one.
In any case, Edward -- your coveted blah blah is winging its way to you. Somehow.
And may I just say in advance, and for the record -- tomorrow's Listomania is the dumbest ever.

Ahhh, the power of brute force;>
