* HarsherInHindsight: "The Night Santa Went Crazy" became this in 2008 when [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covina_massacre Bruce Jeffrey Pardo]] dressed up as Santa and opened fire at a holiday party, killing eight.

* DoNotDoThisCoolThing: "Phony Calls" warns about the immorality and illegality of prank calling, but at the same time making it sound like one would have a blast doing it. The instrumental bridge has an audio clip of [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Bart Simpson prank calling Moe's Tavern]].

Added DiffLines:

* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: ''Music/{{Alapalooza}}'' saw mixed to negative responses from fans and critics, who considered it by the numbers, overly eager to capitalize on current trends, and unmemorable apart from "Jurassic Park" (and even that drew criticism for parodying a '60s song instead of a more contemporary hit). ''Bad Hair Day'', meanwhile, is regarded as a major improvement over even Al's best regarded previous works, with many (including Al himself) seeing it as the point where he [[GrowingTheBeard fully hit his stride]] as an artist.

* HeartwarmingInHindsight: One of the lines in "Amish Paradise" was "on my knees day and night, scoring points for the afterlife". After the death of Music/Coolio--and remember, he and Weird Al ''did'' make amends over the former's initial beef about the song--at least one fan replied to [[https://twitter.com/alyankovic/status/1575312521497452546 Weird Al's tweet about it]] with "Scoring points ''in'' the afterlife".

* NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity: While "Amish Paradise" is hilarious on its own, it arguably wouldn't be ''as'' popular as it is had it not famously pissed off Music/{{Coolio}}.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNL1IYc3A7k The backward line]] in "I Remember Larry." As one commenter points out, back in the '90s you ''did'' need a lot of time on your hands (or special equipment) to successfully play a piece of physical media backward. Nowadays, it's easy to get software that'll do the same thing to an audio file with a few clicks.

** "Callin' in Sick" and "Phony Calls" both reference dialing seven-digit phone numbers. By TheNewTwenties, many U.S. states have required ten-digit dialing, even for local calls. The latter is about the practice of prank calling, which has died out in the 21st century thanks to Star 69 and Caller ID, making it easy to identify prank callers.
