The thing about Wierd Al is that he’s actually a creative genius and I think because he makes parody music people dont give him credit for how talented he actually is.

He can imitate any style of music, his vocal range is incredible, and his understanding of rhyme and meter is so good that his songs are instantly understandable on first listen, despite the speed and complexity of his wordplay.

He’s also apologized and owned up to offensive jokes he’s made in the past, he makes sure to get proper permissions for his parodies and by all accounts is a really decent person.

I’m just really inspired by him and his music, and his tounge twister lyrics are probably the reason I love and use so much wordplay in my own songs today.
