''Even Worse'' is the fifth Album by song parodist "Weird Al" Yankovic , released in 1988 . The name and cover of the album are direct parodies of Michael Jackson 's '' Bad ''. This album marks the only time two songs originally recorded by the same artist have been parodied on the same Yankovic album (however, the two songs are actually parodies of Tommy James & The Shondells songs as covered by two different acts).
