Yeah I saw that and, quite frankly, I was not impressed.  Of course, I was over Weird Al around the age of 13, as God intended, but let's face the simple fact: he peaked with "Off the Deep End." 

(Amusingly, James Hetfield's vocals on the new Metallica album ("Give Us Your Money") sound disturbingly like Weird Al with a little smoker's rasp.)

Do you really need to parody Trapped in the Closet?  I've watched the whole thing, and I wouldn't try to parody it.  If you want to make a point about how wonderfully terrible it is, then just show it to people.  It mocks itself by a process of induction.  The bizarre combination of visuals, hysterical lowest common denominator plotline, faux-gangsta posing, R Kelly's foppery, terrible lyrics, R Kelly's buttery voice changing octaves for no good reason, and the meta-knowledge that R Kelly pees on 14 year olds create sympathetic vibrations in the human brain, causing mockery of the hip-hopera to escape the mouth by an autonomic reflex.
