yeah a lot of his style parodies are straight up brilliant. they walk a fine line between tribute and parody while also being generally good songs on their own. I remember a buddy of mine who hated CAKE thinking "Close But No Cigar" was really great because "that's what all their songs sound like to me". but those of us who liked them thought it was a good tune too. I imagine that's not easy to do.
