Might not be all of them.....but it's definitely a lot of them.
White and Nerdy would top my list.

Immediately thought “I Lost On Jeopardy” and “Living With A Hernia” and there they are in the OP.
“Trapped In The Drive Thru” is pretty epic and R. Kelly wrote some good tunes in his day but in this case the original is quite the low bar.

Pretty much the only one I'd pick, though the Greg Kihn original is quite good. I love a good Weird Al parody, but I can't think of any that really top the originals except "I Lost on Jeopardy" (at least not from the classic 80's/90's era).

"Weird A.I." should totally be the name of his next album.
