Weird Al Yankovic's first song was My Bologna.
Weird Al's Debut Track
Released in 1979, My Bologna was a humorous parody of The Knack's popular hit, "My Sharona." This inaugural track holds a unique place in musical history, as it was famously recorded in a college bathroom, showcasing Yankovic's early ingenuity and DIY approach to comedy music.
The song first gained attention when it aired on the widely listened-to "Dr. Demento Show" radio program. Its broadcast led to a pivotal moment in Yankovic's career: Doug Fieger, the lead singer of The Knack, heard the parody and was reportedly so impressed that he personally arranged for his record label to sign Weird Al for a short contract, effectively launching his career in the music industry.
