Weird Al has literally done covers including style covers of many of the bands listed in this thread!
Presidents of the USA cover: Gump
They Might Be Giants style cover: Everything You Know Is Wrong
Devo style cover: Dare To Be Stupid
I'm sure there's more, that's off the top of my head.
There's also songs that may have been initially inspired by a certain other artist but strayed far enough to be basically completely original, such as Albuquerque and (possibly my favorite Weird Al song of them all) Hardware Store.
Not to mention the polkas, which is what I really had in mind when I was talking about him making other genres rock.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Gump
Everything You Know Is Wrong
Dare To Be Stupid
