Weird Al Yankovic: The Food Album

Your top ten are all great selections.  This specific Honorable mention stuck out at me.  I'm an Al fan, have the album, etc.  Thing is, sadly, most Al fans I know disregard it, despite the songs quality (all the parodies are great on it), because it's nothing more than a compilation cd put out by the record company to capitalize and make a quick buck.  I still like it.
