Oh, yeah, I've always thought of covering some of my influences like Billy Joel, Elton John, Stevie Wonder.

Its Still Billy Joel To Me
Whats the matter with the songs hes singin
Cant you tell that theyre pretty lame
After listenin to a couple albums
Well, they all start to sound the same
So he tried to change his musical style
He tossed all his ballads in the circular file
Then he found the punk sound
Breakin ground all around
Its still billy joel to me
Whats the matter with the tune hes writin
Well, you know its gonna be a smash
Its so nice when youre a big name artist
Doesnt matter if it sounds like trash
Now everybody thinks the new wave is super
Just ask linda ronstadt or even alice cooper
Its a big hit, isnt it
Even if its a piece of junk
Its still billy joel to me
Woah, it doesnt matter what the critics say about him
cause he doesnt worry how they feel
When youre records sellin millions and its goin triple platinum
You dont worry bout your next meal
cause money is no big deal
Maybe he should dye his hair bright pink
And stick a safety pin through his cheeks
Then hed really fit the new wave image
But he couldnt sit down for weeks
Dont you know about the record business, honey
You gotta be trendy if you wanna make some money
Now everybodys sayin that he sure sounds funny
But its still billy joel to me
All right, alfred
Oh
I can hardly wait til his next album
Well, Ill bet its gonna be the rage
Buy a ticket to his next big concert
Well, I wonder what hell do on stage
It might be disco and it might be the blues
Or maybe even somethin like the b-52s
Just a handclap, finger snap
Even if its mindless pap
Its still billy joel to me
Everybodys sayin that he sure sounds funny
But its still billy joel to me

Billy The Kid
Well I heard you in the back room
Your friends had a laugh on me
Passed my name through the cantina
Yeah your face was hard to read
Something in your demeanor
Should of given you away
But I was desperate for a friend
I was getting used to making mistakes
Well I went down hard
Like billy the kid
Yeah, I went down hard
Yeah, but I got up again
I remember you my baby
I remember you so well
And your house out in the suburbs
You had your wishing well
They say be careful who you believe
Be careful who you trust
Did you smile when you pulled the trigger
That dropped me in the dust
Well, I went down hard
Like billy the kid
Yeah, I went down hard
Yeah, but I got up again
Well, you caught me in the bedroom
Cotton fever in a sweat
I was fighting for recovery
But I wasnt giving up yet
You offered no assistance
Yeah, you looked at me and you lied
Oh it really stunned me
When you went to the other side
I went down hard
Like billy the kid
Yeah, I went down hard
Oh, but I got up again

I put together the influences of my life in as clear a way as I possibly can, in the same way that Beethoven or Schoenberg or Bach put their influences together.
Mystery Science Theater is really a postmodern show, it's really derived of many influences.

We worked very hard to make the lyrics suit the music. I can't, like Elton John, for example, compose by lyrics. Elton has a great talent for that. Whatever you give him, including your questions, he composes in half an hour and makes a great song out of it.
