"Pancreas" is a song by American musician Weird Al Yankovic from his 2006 album Straight Outta Lynwood.
The final original song recorded for the album, it is mainly about the biological functions of the aforementioned organ.
[1][2] Yankovic joked that the reason the song was written was because "my pancreas has given so much to me over the years, I felt like I needed to give something back to it".
[citation needed] In his review of Straight Outta Lynwood, Scott Shetler of Slant praised "Pancreas" as "an exquisitely crafted homage to Brian Wilson featuring the layered harmonies and fun instrumentation (toy piano, sleigh bells, ukulele, vibraphone) characteristic of the Beach Boys.
The purposefully absurd lyrics prove that Wilson’s classic sound would be great even if he were singing about nonsense.
