They may have used the word wrong, but getting parodied by Weird Al is actually more prestigious than winning a Grammy. Not because Weird Al parodies are rare, but because he only parodies songs that are actually pretty good. I have trouble believing that if the song were actually bad, playing it on accordion with jokey lyrics would be an improvement. There's no Weird Al parody of a Nickelback song, that I know of.
Now that you say that, I really want an oompah- style song called “Phonograph”
Counterpoint: he parodied Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm by the Crash Test Dummies.

(It's also his most dated song.)
You're not making any sense.
Parodying Nickelback is also wasted effort making fun of songs that are already jokes.
