==Notable refused parodies==

 

Yankovic had one parody idea that was refused:

 

*A parody of Prince's hit "When Doves Cry". Yankovic once stated in an interview that he had attempted to do a parody of "When Doves Cry", circa 1984. Prince, however, refused, and has been unopen to any parody ideas Yankovic has ever presented to him.
