I was thinking of Amish Paradise a lot this week when I was up in Pennsylvania. Been humming it to myself.
"Eat It" for me is my favorite because that was the first song I heard of his....and it made a big impression at the time. Lots of kids at school were talking about it the Monday after it appeared on Night Tracks over the weekend.
"White and Nerdy" is also great and shows that he still has it.
I taped Al TV back in the mid-80s...I should dig up those old tapes....

"Eat It" was my favorite, but he did a great take on the Nirvana tune "Smells Like Teen Spirit," but I can't remember it's name.

My 2nd favorite (at least visually):
You have to SEE this one to enjoy it: "Bob" -- in the style of Bob Dylan's "Subterannean Homesick Blues" (cue cards) -- entirely done in palindromes. Watch it, you'll see.

My all time favorite Weird Al song- "It's all about the Pentiums". Probably because I identify a little too much with it.

Beat me to it, Gopher! "Bob" is a total classic.

You all mentioned some good ones already, so I'll mention another I like: His polka version of Bohemian Rhapsody: "Bohemian Polka"
