"Waffle King" is the name of a song by famous comedian and musician "Weird Al" Yankovic. The song appears on his eighth album, "Alapalooza." It is a style parody of "Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel, as it noticeably uses the famous Synthesized shakuhachi sound.

Release

"Waffle King," recorded in 1990, was originally supposed to appear on "Weird Al" Yankovic's album "Off the Deep End". However, by the time the recording of the parodies for the "Off the Deep End" album began, Al had written all the original songs that were to appear on his next album. Because he was concerned that one of the jokes from the song "I was Only Kidding" might be played out by the time Alapalooza would finally be released (A reference to the movie "Wayne's World" with the line "I really love you-- NOT!"), he recorded "I Was Only Kidding" and included it on "Off the Deep End" in place of "Waffle King". "Waffle King" was instead used as the b-side of the "Smells Like Nirvana" single. [http://weirdal.com/aaarchive.htm#0396]

In 1993, Yankovic recorded his eighth studio album, "Alapalooza" and he decided that Waffle King should be released as a track on it, instead of it appearing as a single-only B-Side.
