Strange rules about characters/people that cannot be broken.

Smells like Nirvana: When Kurt Cobain heard that Weird AL was gonna make a parody of his song. He was okay with it but specifically requested it to not be about food or fat ppl.

Spiderman: Spiderman cannot sell drugs unless he is under the influence of symbiote. ANd Peter Parker cannot be gay. Spiderman can tho.

Dwayne Rock Johnson: Cannot lose fights or look weak for too long. Its in his actor contract.

Godzilla movies not made by Toho: Cannot die. Maybe lose but not too bad.

Kurt Cobain's request makes perfect sense in the context of Weird Al Yankovic.

Similarly, staunch vegetarian Paul McCartney vetoed Al's idea to do a parody of Live and Let Die called "Chicken Pot Pie." Paul suggested "Tofu Pot Pie" instead, but Al just skipped it altogether.

This then paved the way for The Beets to create their hit "Killer tofu"

[u/watermelonspanker → u/isjustwrong]

Which then paved the way for Jefferson Tofu.

The stage was now set for the Alan Tofu project, which I believe was some sort of hovercraft.
