I adore 'The Saga Begins.' When I first saw the video, I laughed myself sick. Right after that, I realized that Weird Al cleans up nice. :-)
The Wikipedia entry is interesting, and I think some of the interpretations are...questionable, despite the fact that I'm not tremendously familiar with half the references they're talking about.
Personally, I have a secret suspicion that McLean will go to his grave without explaining 'American Pie' because I suspect it took on a life of its own far beyond what he expected or even intended.
But like I said above: The song has been carved into our brains via radio waves. :-)
