Yankovic performing "The Saga Begins" in Auckland, New Zealand, on March 10, 2007. Both Don McLean and George Lucas have reportedly expressed approval of the parody.

Coolio initially reacted negatively to "Amish Paradise", feeling it undermined the serious message of the original song, but later apologized and said he considered Yankovic's parody "actually funny as shit".
