HMS bows to CNR

Thought I'd do something different this morning. Along with his direct parodies and great original material, Weird Al Yankovic also does style parodies; he writes an original song using the readily identifiable style of an existing band.

Today we have CNR, a style parody of The White Stripes. Lyrics are about superhuman feats that Charles Nelson Reilly could accomplish, similar to Chuck Norris facts found all over the net. One of my favorite Weird Al songs, especially for the shout out to Jim Croce's You Don't Mess Around with Jim.
