My question is wondering: Why didn't he ever make a song called 'white white west'. Of course based on the song by the escape club, wild wild west.
Because i'm thinking the problem with that would be it'd be too easy to call such a song racist. Not that that song would have a racist intent, but people would assume that it did.

I guess it's a good thing "Play That Funky Music" was sung by a white guy.
Al couldn't do them all. Looks like White White West just didn't make the cut. Wild Wild Breast would have been better anyway.

The words don’t flow as good as the original. Although I don’t like him but he’s never struck me as race obsessed so I’d have expected him to go for something silly like Mild Mild West.

So what you are saying is you don't think Weird Al did a parody of a specific song, one of thousands he could have chosen, with no indication he ever had an interest in doing it, in a specific way that may be considered controversial, because he was afraid of possible criticism!
I think doing that track just never crossed his mind.
And what would "White White West" be about anyway?
