A Complicated Song

"A Complicated Song" is a comedy/rock song by which parodies the song Complicated by Avril Lavigne. The song focuses on a group of stories that have absolutely nothing to do with each other. It was released in 2003 on the album Poodle Hat.
In the first story the protagonist goes to a party at a friend's house. The friend, unaware that nobody would come, bought 19 extra large pizzas, which the protagonist ate, causing constipation. He then complains to his friend about making him constipated.
The second story centers on the same protagonist feeling depressed and getting comforted by his girlfriend. When he is ready to pop the question and marry her he finds that on her thigh is the same family crest as his, making them cousins. He then ponders the idea of going for it anyway, having deformed kids and moving to Alabama.
The third story follows the same protagonist going to a rollercoaster ride and standing up, becoming decapitated. He then complains about all the things he can't do, such as read Sports Illustrated magazine.
The song, while never being an actual single, has become beloved as one of the "finest" of Weird Al's songs, mainly based on the quality of the lyrics and the fact that the song being parodied was extremely famous.
Because of the first story, the song is often incorrectly named Constipated.
