Spam is a song by "Weird Al" Yankovic. It is a parody of R.E.M.'s song Stand. It is mostly an ode to the canned lunch meat SPAM. The lyrics describe a person who loves to eat spam at his house, at work, or for just a snack.
Some of the humor in the song comes from the supposedly 'unknown' contents of spam, such as: "Think about the stuff its made from, wonder if it's mystery of meat." and "Think about the way it's processed, wonder if it's some kind of meat." The song also states that if you have any left over, don't throw it out, "Use it for spackle or bathroom grout, now."
