"Weird Al" Yankovic's song "Amish Paradise" is a parody of the song "Gangsta's Paradise" by Coolio, which was released in 1995. "Amish Paradise" was released by Weird Al on July 2, 1996, as the lead single from his album "Bad Hair Day."

The song humorously depicts a day in the life of the Amish community, contrasting their traditional, simple way of life with the modern world. Weird Al, known for his comedic parodies, cleverly rewrites the lyrics to portray the Amish lifestyle, including references to barn-raising, quilting bees, and abstaining from modern technology.

The music video for "Amish Paradise" also parodies scenes from the "Gangsta's Paradise" music video, with Weird Al dressed in Amish clothing and interacting with various Amish activities and settings. The song was well-received by fans and became one of Weird Al's signature parody tracks. However, it did spark some controversy, as Coolio initially expressed frustration with the parody before later admitting that he found it amusing.

Overall, "Amish Paradise" is a humorous and creative parody that showcases Weird Al's talent for cleverly rewriting popular songs into comedic masterpieces.
