The Offspring, The Beastie Boys, Van Halen w/DLR, and the B52s. Are there other bands that rock, but are often silly/goofy and funny? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

There's also songs that may have been initially inspired by a certain other artist but strayed far enough to be basically completely original, such as Albuquerque and (possibly my favorite Weird Al song of them all) Hardware Store.

Not to mention the polkas, which is what I really had in mind when I was talking about him making other genres rock.
