Did the Sisters inspire Weird Al Yankovic?

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

That's what makes it so... well, weird. It's nominally a Devo parody - not sure how you can parody something that's inherently tongue-in-cheek to begin with, but apparently Mr. Yankovic tried - but it really reminds me of Temple of Love.
You can take a tiger out of the jungle, but you can't take the jungle out of the tiger... on the other hand, the tiger can't step into the same river twice because other waters are always flowing on to it. Yeah.

Al has much songs that are more "in style of" than parody
i've used the wrong word
and those da-da-da-da arpeggios are quite spread :wink:
