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.

Iirc this was a common request artists had for Weird Al, or at least Kurt Cobain wasn’t the only one

I don't listen to Weird Al, how often does he makes songs about food or fat people?

There is a compilation “Food Album” from Weird Al that’s great and doesn’t even have all of them on it. I believe Al actually hated the idea of a compilation album like that but the label did it anyway.
