A list of Weird Al "Style Parody" songs- songs he's written that don't directly parody another song (www.weirdalstar.com)

It doesn't include "First World Problems," which was very much a sort of song The Pixies would have written in terms of the music style.

"Mission Statement" off of Mandatory Fun is totally a style parody of Crosby, Stills, and Nash. Pretty funny too, because it takes the sound of a free love hippie group from the 60's and uses it to ramble off a bunch of corporate buzz words.

I could see it being a straight parody of their song "Carry On", but Al usually sticks a lot closer to the original arrangement when doing song parodies.
