I had no idea on that Weird Al one. Kind of an odd clue, considering the relative popularity of Weird Al songs.

I think the clue is more about the nature of the lyric than the song itself.

After seeing the answer, yes. But that was pretty subtle. Maybe if they'd narrowed it down from "Celebrity" a bit.
