who sampled the given song? was it Neil Cicierega, Weird Al Yankovic or both?! sampling in this case counts for any mashups, covers, remixes and parodies. this quiz does not count references to a song or inspiration from a song. therefore Weird Al's style parodies are not counted unless a sample has been specifically stated. (inspired by my old tiktok series Mouth Polka)
explanations for where these songs were sampled will appear at the end of the quiz. have fun!
