On October 19, 1989, the RIAA certified "Eat It" as a gold single. Jackson allegedly thought it was amusing and agreed to allow the parody. The famous guitar solo, originally performed by Eddie Van Halen, was reproduced by Yankovic's producer, Rick Derringer.Īccording to Yankovic, when he presented his lyrics to Jackson for review, he did not know how Jackson would react. It peaked at number twelve in the United States, making it his first top 40 hit in that country, and reached number one in Australia. The track was both a commercial and critical success, earning Yankovic a Grammy Award. It is a parody of Michael Jackson's 1983 single " Beat It", with the contents changed to be about an exasperated parent attempting to get their picky child to eat anything at all, much less to eat properly. " Eat It" is a 1984 song by American comedy music artist "Weird Al" Yankovic.
