"Addicted To Spuds" is a song by "Weird Al" Yankovic. It is a parody of "Addicted to Love" by Robert Palmer. It is mostly about a person's obsessive love for all types of potato related foods.

Music Video

According to "The "Weird Al" Yankovic Anthology", a music video was never made to the song (Yankovic later stated this was because the video would be one big joke and not really worth its own video), although a parody of the video was later inserted in Al's "UHF" video: In the "Addicted to Love" video, Palmer sang the song in front of a group of identical mini-skirted women. In the "UHF" video, Al sings in front of a group of women who have glasses and moustaches similar to those of Yankovic.
