I never heard The Pizza Underground, so maybe the music does suck, but I like the idea - VU is like the ultimate underground/super-influential band in a way, and here's a band deciding to cover their songs, but swap their lyrics to ones about pizza.
"Whatever happened to that album?"
"I broke it, remember? I threw it against the wall and it like, shattered."

My generalized impression of joke bands is that they're half-committed to whatever they're doing. They're often not great artists writing great songs, but if you squint hard enough from the right perspective can see how playing a bunch of half-assed songs about the teevee show Lost is funny, i guess??? Weird Al is fine. He isn't a dabbler. The rest of them can go pound sand.
