Trivia[]

  • This song is part of the Food Medley.
  • Weird Al personally disliked this song, explaining why it wasn't featured in the Food Album.[1]. He disliked it because he was basically forced to do it. His record label was dead-set against releasing the “Dare To Be Stupid” album unless Al had a Cyndi Lauper parody on it. This explains the lackadaisical and growling vocals.
  • The original 1979 version of “Girls Just Want To Have Fun” (which did not become a hit) was also written from a male perspective about dating women, like Al’s parody.
