Though parodies earned him his fame, Yankovic has recorded a greater number of humorous songs with original tunes. Some of these pieces are pastiches (or style parodies), where he chooses a band’s entire body of work to emulate rather than any single hit, although Yankovic has many completely original pieces. Most of his albums include a medley which juxtaposes the choruses of various songs in a polka style to accordion music.
Due to his popularity, he has been credited with several songs that are not actually his. A full list of every song he has ever actually done, including the live-only songs, can be found at the Al Songs website. Similarly, a comprehensive list of songs incorrectly credited to him can be found at The Not Al Page.
In 2006, Al recorded the song “You’re Pitiful”. However, while James Blunt gave his blessing for the parody of his song, “You’re Beautiful”, Blunt’s label Atlantic Records was opposed to it. Though parodies are protected legally, the issue had become “more of a political matter than a legal matter”, according to Al, so he decided to not put the song on his next album. Instead, he offered it as a free download from his site.
