Weird Al!

[PGN]

Does anyone like Weird Al? Whoever doesn't know who he is, he parodies various songs. Here are 2 samples

"Couch Patato" ["Lose Yourself - Eminem" Parody]
"If you had, one shot, to sit down on your lazy butt and watch all the TV you ever wanted, would you take it, or let it slip?..."

"Trash Day" ["Hot In Here - Nelly" Parody]

"It's gettin' rotten here! You betta hold yo nose!..."

[Chairman Kaga]

Ohh, I am such a mega Weird Al fan! (is listening to Bohemian Polka as we speak) He's the greatest artist of our age if you ask me...I love his creative style, and I especially love his polkas, my favorites being Angry White Boy Polka and Bohemian Polka. Some of my other favorite songs include Bedrock Anthem, Harvey the Wonder Hamster, Amish Paradise, Everything You Know is Wrong, Alternative Polka, The Saga Begins, Albuquerque, Polka Power!, Hardware Store, Why Does This Always Happen to Me? and many others...I could talk about Weird Al songs all day :P

Couch Potatoe
Look... If you had one shot
to sit on your lazy butt
and watch all the tv you ever wanted
until your brain turned to mush,
Would you go for it? Or just let it slip? Yo!

Remote is ready, eyes wide, palms are sweaty
The Flintstone's on the TV already
Wilma and Betty
No virgin to channel surfin
And I'm HD ready
So I flip, garbage is all I'm getting
There's Simon Cowell
Who folks wanna disembowel
He opens his mouth, always says something foul
They're dying, Wow!
Wannabe's are crying now
He votes them out
Time to throw in the towel

Show's based on reality
Oh the humanity!
Oh! Ozzy's family!
Sho' loves profanity!
Whoa! The insanity!
Oh! Dogs that crap and pee
Home of depravity?
No! They live happily

Yo! Plus "Da Ali G Show"
And "Celebrity Mole"
Oh there's Anna Nicole
She's scaring me
Look ma, no cavities!
Oh! It's a station break
Better go out to the kitchen and microwave something

You're gonna lose your mind watchin tv they told me
They scold me, but I still tune in every show
My cable gets C-SPAN, TV Land and HBO
The Travel Channel, Discovery, and Lifetime

(You're gonna) lose your mind watchin' TV they told me
Cajoled me, "Turn off those music videos!"
Gonna watch C-SPAN TV Land and HBO
The History Channel and QVC and Lifetime

My butt is aching as I watch NASCAR racing
That show about undertaking
Larry King to "24" to "Law and Order"
The Weather Channel's boring like 60 Minutes
Ancient reporters next up on "E True Hollywood Story"
The rise and decline of twelve actors named Corey

Shows for next fall, they've already been naming
"CSI: Boise", and "Touched By An Uncle", both sound prettying lame, man
so does "Everybody Tolerates Raymond"
and "King of Queens" jumped the shark the first minute
I can't believe Richard Simmons ain't in it.

I move right on to "8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenaged Daughter"
Then I bet I watch "The Bachelorette"
Followed by "Welcome Back, Kotter"
And "The Muppet Show" where they go "Mahna Mahna"

You're gonna lose your mind watching TV they told me
They scold me but I still tune in every show
My cable gets C-SPAN, TV Land and HBO
The Disney Channel, and A&E and Lifetime

(You're gonna) lose your mind watching TV they told me
Cajoled me, but I still love Lisa Kudrow
I'm looking at C-SPAN, TV Land and HBO
The Playboy Channel and Court TV and Lifetime

Never missed "Melrose Place" or "Lost in Space"
I've seen each "Amazing Race" and "Without a Trace"
But I only watched "Will and Grace" one time one day
Wished I hadn't 'cause TiVo now thinks I'm gay

Oh and "Fear Factor" I watched maybe a half hour
After that felt like I needed a long shower
Network execs with naked ambition
Next week on FOX, watch lions eat christians

Like to tie up those programming planners
Make'em watch all of that junk 'til their heads explode just like "Scanners"
Leech covered grub eatin' fools on Survivor
Look there's James Lipton discussing the oeuvre of Mr. Rob Schneider

And there's Gilligan and SpongeBob plus there's MacGyver
And Jay Leno has got Madonna and hey there's Luke Perry
And a special all pig-latin episode of "Drew Carey"

Wanna turn on ET cause I'm a gossip freak
And I gotta know who J. Lo is marryin' this week
A 30 second spot then we go back to "Are You Hot?"
I was planning on recording "The Sopranos". I forgot!
I love shows with or without a plot
I stare 'til my legs are numb, my eyes bloodshot
Because I only have got one brain to rot
I'm gonna spend my life watching television a lot

(You're gonna) lose your mind watching TV they told me
They scold me, but I still tune into every show
My cable's gets C-SPAN, TV-Land, and HBO
The Sci-Fi Channel and AMC and Lifetime

(You're gonna) lose your mind watching TV they told me
Cajoled me, "Turn off that Oprah Winfrey show!"
I got it on C-SPAN, TV Land and HBO
The Learning Channel and MTV and Lifetime

You can watch anything you want to, man.

Trash Day
Rotten
So rotten here
So rotten
Oh
It was like, the last day before trash day
My place was gettin' kinda nas-tay
Even though the garbage I knew would reek
(You know) Thought that I could leave it for one more week
Then, um, I'm takin'
Birthday cake 'n' (oh)
Chili and greasy old bacon
Throw it all on top of the mess I been makin'
Wife's so mad, she starts to shakin'
Leaky bag, 'n' now that girl is gaggin'
She's naggin'
"I need you to get that stuff off the kitchen floor"
"Is that too much to ask you for?"
But I see no reason why
Can't let a few more weeks go by
And now garbage is piled up high
And buddy, you should see the flies
I said...

There's somethin' rotten here (say what?)
You better hold your nose
(Hey, you disgusting slob, you gotta take the trash out)
Boy, there's a lot in here (a lot)
And every day it grows
(Hey, you disgusting slob, you gotta take the trash out)
Make ya wanna throw up

Look at all this garbage that I keep generatin'
(Come on) I sit around all day and watch it biodegradin'
Bet there's a hundred health codes that I'm violatin'
Even my dog passed out and needed resuscitatin'
You won't believe it, take a whiff of that aroma
Sure to put you in a coma
It's so messy, can't find my toenail clippers
It's so bad, the roaches wearin' slippers
Warm, sweaty clothes piled up in this joint
Stand up by themselves at this point
It's so filthy, now baby, I can't lie
I wipe my feet before I go outside
I wonder what crawled in here and died
(You know) Walkin' 'round barefoot, I'd be terrified
But it gives me stuff to talk about with my friends
Like "Hey, I think them rats gettin' big!"
Oh

There's somethin' rotten here (say what?)
You better hold your nose
(Hey, you disgusting slob, you gotta take the trash out)
Look what we got in here (now what?)
Let's watch it decompose
(Hey, you disgusting slob, you gotta take the trash out)
Make ya wanna throw up
With a little bit a....and a little bit a...
Make me wanna throw up
It makes ya wanna...just makes ya wanna...
Oh

Some Lysol, some Comet
I got a mop and it's got your name on it
(What?) I'm just kiddin', doggone it
(Oh) Unless you gonna do it
Careful not to breathe the fumes
Check it, garbage piles are goin' all the way to the bathroom
Turn into toxic waste sometime this afternoon
Better get a Hazmat suit and a push broom
Oh

There's somethin' rotten here (say what?)
You better hold your nose
(Hey, you disgusting slob, you gotta take the trash out)
It's gone to pot in here (now what?)
Bring out the firehose
(Hey, you disgusting slob, you gotta take the trash out)
Make ya wanna throw up
With a little bit a....and a little bit a...
Make me wanna throw up
Give a little bit a...and a tiny bit a...
Make ya wanna throw up
Mix a little bit a...with a molecule a...
Make me wanna throw up
It makes me wanna...just makes me wanna...
Oh

my favs!

[John Denver]

I like the Horoscope song...it's so funny...I am also a mega wierd al fan. I think Running with scissors and Bad hair day were his best

BOO ya!

[Flaming Torchic]

LOL, Weird Al is one of the funniest guys that I have ever seen. I remember in grade 7, I lip synced to "Horoscope" with my friend. xD We made a fool of ourselves, but oh well. =P Man, it was so fun listening to all of his songs that made a mockery of other artists songs, like "Amish Paradise" was making fun of some other artist song. =P Also, does anybody remember when he was on Much Music? I remember he used to always bring in his hamster, and would always do stupid things. xD

[Imakuni?]

uck. rws was horrible poodle hat is his best.

[PGN]

I saw Weird Al when I went to Woodstock, it was cool! I got to see him do one song, I forgot what it was though...It was a year ago..

[Chairman Kaga]

RWS actually has some of my favorites, like Polka Power, All About the Pentiums, The Saga Begins, The Weird Al Show Theme, That's Your Horoscope For Today, and Albuquerque...that's like a record for Weird Al songs that I listen to on one CD...Poodle Hat was pretty good too, I like Hardware Store, Angry White Boy Polka, Why Does This Always Happen to Me, Ebay, and Genius in France from that one...I think he's actually gotten better as the years go on, if you listen to some of his earliest stuff it's just not as funny for the most part, with a few exceptions...I'm as big a Weird Al fan as the next guy but I prefer his new stuff to his old stuff I guess *shrug*

[Charmander's Flame]

OMFG!! I LOVE Weird Al!! I have almost all of his CD's!! Greatest Hits, Bad Hair Day, Running With Scissors... 5W33t...
