That's Enough of That (song)
"That's Enough of That" is a song written and performed by American comedian and musician Weird Al Yankovic. It appeared on his 1989 album, UHF - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack and Other Stuff. The song is a polka medley parodying various popular songs of the late 1980s.
The polka medley format, a recurring element in Yankovic's discography, involves re-arranging snippets of hit songs into a fast-paced, accordion-driven polka style. "That's Enough of That" features excerpts from songs such as "You Give Love a Bad Name" by Bon Jovi, "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" by Whitney Houston, "Walk This Way" by Aerosmith and Run-DMC, and "The Lady in Red" by Chris de Burgh, among others. The specific selection of songs parodied often reflects the popular music trends prevalent at the time of the album's release.
Like other polka medleys by Weird Al, the lyrics remain mostly unchanged from the original versions, though the context shift through the polka arrangement often creates a humorous effect. The rapid transitions between different musical styles and lyrical themes are a hallmark of this comedic approach. The title itself, "That's Enough of That," can be interpreted as a meta-commentary on the medley format itself, suggesting a playful acknowledgment of the potentially overwhelming nature of the rapid-fire song snippets.
