This song is hilarious, I live in an area where amish are and that makes it even funnier. Weird Al may be a little cheesey, but he's fuckin clever I give him that. The stuff he comes up with is genius at times. And he does it all with out cursing.

Yeah, he'll always ask an artist face-to-face now if they'll let him parody it.

I think this song is excellent! In our English class at school we studied Witness the film (feature the Amish) so I understand what this is about, making it funnier! Problem is it'll always remind me of Witness (terrible film, avoid like the plague) and English. Still, cracking song!

This song is funny, the music video makes it even funnier. I'd heard this one before I'd heard the original Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio... hehe. Wow I'd never wanna be Amish...

the song is great, my brother got me hooked on Weird Al with this song and it's been my favorite ever since. And an interesting story to go with this song, if no one knew: "Although Yankovic traditionally secures permission from the artists he parodies (even though this is not legally required), and was told by his record label that Coolio had given permission, Coolio later claimed that he had not given such permission. This created a minor controversy, as speculation surfaced that Coolio had actually given permission but later claimed he hadn't in the fear that allowing the parody wouldn't be seen as "cool," or that Yankovic's record label lied to Yankovic in the hopes that the song would become popular. Yankovic later stated on VH-1's Behind the Music that he had written a sincere letter of apology to Coolio which was never returned, and that Coolio never complained when he received hisroyalty check from proceeds of the song. "

Great song, makes me feel bad for the Amish, even though they chose to live this way.

Weird Al's not dead, and he never will be. Everyone likes Weird Al. I luv this song. I like the film clip for it too, he's got the accent down pat.
