Bad Hair Day is the ninth studio album by "Weird Al" Yankovic, released in 1996 through Scotti Bros. Records.It features the hit song "Amish Paradise," a parody of Coolio's "Gangsta's Paradise" which infamously got Al in trouble with the rapper, who claimed that he rejected Al's proposal to record the parody and felt that Al was trivializing the gangland drama he was attempting to bring attention to. Despite (or rather because of) the controversy, it remains one of his most popular songs, and Coolio eventually made peace with it.Tracklist: "Amish Paradise"note Parody of Coolio's "Gangsta's Paradise" "Everything You Know Is Wrong" "Cavity Search"note Parody of U2's "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" "Callin' In Sick" "The Alternative Polka" "Since You've Been Gone" "Gump"note Parody of The Presidents of the United States of America's "Lump" "I'm So Sick Of You" "Syndicated Inc."note Parody of Soul Asylum's "Misery" "I Remember Larry" "Phony Calls"note Parody of TLC's "Waterfalls" "The Night Santa Went Crazy" | |

Egocentrically Religious | |
| Bad Hair Day (Music) / int_17f88647 | comment |
Egocentrically Religious: Parodied with "Amish Paradise", about an Amish man singing about how much he enjoys his simple life. He's mostly portrayed as a pretty decent upstanding person who happens to prefer the life of a "crazy Mennonite" but he admits at points that the reason he acts like a decent, forgiving person to everyone, even people who mock or assault him, is because he believes he'll be going to Heaven and will be laughing his head off while those people are burning in Hell. | |

Old-Timey Ankle Taboo: In the music video for "Amish Paradise" two Amish teens are seen looking at a supposedly erotic magazine, with the centerfold girl lifting up her long skirt to show her ankle. This illustrates how the Amish live by very old-fashioned values. | |

Downer Ending: "The Night Santa Went Crazy". Depending on which version you listen to, it ends with Santa Claus either in prison for several hundred years or dead. Additionally, in the Extra Gory version, Al mentions that children will no longer get any Christmas presents, and the elves are forced to file for unemployment. | |

Disproportionate Retribution: Played With in "I Remember Larry". On the one hand, he apparently responds to Larry's constant pranks by murdering him. One the other, Larry did many cruel, costly and dangerous pranks, such as cutting the singer's car in half and spiking his brownies with ex-lax. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Bad Hair Day (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: To Gilligan's Island in "Amish Paradise": "Amish Paradise" also includes the line "But I ain't never punched a tourist even if he deserved it", a reference to the movie Witness, in which Harrison Ford is a police detective placed undercover in an Amish community to protect a murder witness and punches out a tourist who steals his hat.note Al would later appear on VH1's I Love the '80s in a segment called "Movies That Should Have Been in 3D," with Witness being one of them. According to him, the Amish would have still been plain and simple folk, but they'd have been plain and simple in your face! "Syndicated Incorporated" name-drops several classic and then-popular syndicated TV series, such as M*A*S*H, All in the Family, Three's Company, and Jeopardy!, among others. The last verse of the "Extra Gory" version of "The Night Santa Went Crazy" includes the line "Guess they won't have the fat guy to kick around any more," referencing Richard Nixon's infamous line after losing the 1962 gubernatorial election, "You don't have Nixon to kick around any more!" | |

Lyrical Dissonance | |
| Bad Hair Day (Music) / int_dbfd6b8 | comment |
Lyrical Dissonance: "I Remember Larry" (an upbeat song about a vicious prankster who gets left for dead in the woods by his victim) and "The Night Santa Went Crazy" (a gentle Christmas song about Santa Claus going on a homicidal rampage at the North Pole). | |

Self-Backing Vocalist: "Since You've Been Gone" is a bunch of Weird Als singing a cappella (except for the bass line, which is, of course, his bassist Steve Jay). | |

Hell of a Heaven | |
| Bad Hair Day (Music) / int_e7466f83 | comment |
Hell of a Heaven: "Everything You Know Is Wrong" has someone violating Heaven's dress code, and getting stuck with the room next to the noisy ice machine for all eternity. (Suggesting that Heaven is a mid-priced hotel.) | |

Rewind Gag | |
| Bad Hair Day (Music) / int_eae4abcd | comment |
Rewind Gag: Near the end of the video for "Amish Paradise", he sings through one scene which obviously plays backwards. Most notably, a buggy rolls past in the background backwards. | |

The Dog Bites Back: The last verse of "I Remember Larry". The singer ends up tying Larry's mouth with a rag, "[dragging] him by the ankles to the middle of the forest and [stuffing] him in a big plastic bag", and leaving him for dead. | |
