No. 61 in early 1993. "Weird Al" Yankovic parodied the song on his album Alapalooza as "Achy Breaky Song", in which he pleads with the DJ not to play Billy Ray Cyrus' "Achy Breaky Heart" anymore; he can tolerate ABBA, Village People, New Kids on the Block, even Slim Whitman and Yoko Ono, but he'll really go bonkers if he has to hear "Achy Breaky Heart" once more. In 2014, rapper Buck 22 released a hip-hop version of the song with Cyrus called "Achy Breaky 2", in which Cyrus reprised his role for the chorus. While Cyrus does never explicitly say the song is a parody, the lyrics and accompanying video clearly make several references to daughter Miley's bad-girl image at the time, with Billy Ray noting in a Rolling Stone article that he "[hopes] that she got to read the one critic who wrote that the video made her performance at the VMAs look like Sesame Street". Supporters of many UK football clubs have used chants based on the tune of the song, including West Ham United (about Dimitri Payet), Arsenal F.C. (about Mesut Özil), Newcastle United F.C., Cardiff City F.C. (about Malky Mackay), Celtic F.C. and Manchester United F.C. (about Park Ji-sung). It has also been adapted as "Don't Take Me Home", which has been sung by the supporters of several national football teams, including England, Wales, the Republic of Ireland and Sweden. The chant was particularly associated with Wales' run to the semi-finals of UEFA Euro 2016, and lent its name to Don't Take Me Home, a documentary film about the team's performances at that tournament.
