I'm sorry now I posted this. Ah well, I thought others would enjoy it. I hear it clearly but meh, whatever. Feel free to delete the thread if you want.

I think you're taking this awfully personally
I dare say a lot of people enjoy this song. I didn't think it was that bad myself. As you say, it's a parody of the style, of the genre, and without being a parody of a certain song or references to a certain artist, that's what you're left with.
A lot of Weird Al's parodies are very much on the nose (Amish Paradise, Fat, Like A Surgeon, The Saga Begins, ebay) and I think if he was going to target Meat for parody it would be much less subtle.
But if it makes you happier to think of it as a Meat parody, fine, nobody is going to stop you, just don't get so wound up because a couple of people think otherwise.
