“Weird Al“ Yankovic - Jurassic Park

“Jurassic Park“ is a parody of Jimmy Webb’s single “MacArthur Park“ written and performed by “Weird Al“ Yankovic; it was released both as a single and as part of Yankovic’s Alapalooza album in October 1993. “Jurassic Park“ was penned by Yankovic after he remembered the enjoyment he had when he combined a classic rock track with a recent movie topic with his 1985 song “Yoda“. Yankovic decided to combine the plot of the recent movie Jurassic Park—a film about a park on a fictional island where geneticists have succeeded in cloning dinosaurs.
