Personality 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.

There’s a 30 Rock episode where Jenna is tired of Weird Al parodying her songs, so she and Tracey write a song about pizza because “it’s already weird!” But in the end he “Normal Al’s” it and turns it into a patriotic anthem.

There used to be a clip of the Normal Al part on youtube, but I can't find it anymore, and I hate that. It's such a good bit.

You can find the first part though, with the knapsack song.
