Rockin' Funnies: Another One Rides The Bus (1981)

 "Weird" Al Yankovic had already gained fame on Dr. Demento's radio show with his parody of the Knack's "My Sharona", entitled, "My Bologna". 2 years later, having graduated from college, Al landed on Tom Snyder's Tomorrow to perform "Another One Rides The Bus", a satire of "Another One Bites The Dust", which was a hit for Queen off 1980's "The Game". Drummer Jon Schwartz is the lone backup here, the beginning of a partnership still going strong 41 years later.
