Stop Draggin' My Car Around

Weird Al-gorithm ·

2022/05/13

"Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" which brought two icons Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks together on one track; the original song has been fairly forgotten which doesn't do much to make the parody particularly memorable either. But just because it's forgettable doesn't mean the parody itself is bad! Where will the Matts ultimately rank this?

Buckingham Blues

Weird Al-gorithm ·

2022/04/29

This is a strange one. Weird Al reportedly wrote this song as a parody of Jack & Diane but John Melloncamp declined. Instead of completely scrapping the song he redid it as a Blue song instead. It's clear that the lyrics mostly remained unchanged when he switched to the new style. The Matt's discuss this particularly mean-spirited song that did not age well over the last 40 years and also discuss our feelings on Blues music and John Cougar Melloncamp!
