Weird Al Yankovic is hilarious. My favorite parody by him is "Couch Potato" parody of "Lose Yourself" by Eminem.

Cybex Mewtwo October 8th, 2005 9:43 AM

Chairman Kaga October 8th, 2005 2:28 PM

He's quite possibly the only music artist in the world that I like...he's pretty much musical creativity's last stand <_<; Anyway, the man's a genius.

Attribute a song to Weird Al that isn't his and the hammer WILL come down XD

Karasuma October 8th, 2005 2:30 PM

Didn't weird al make a song for the Pokemon the movie 2000? I saw it at the end credits.

Allstories October 8th, 2005 2:33 PM

Weird Al's cool. My favorite songs by him are 'EBAY' and 'Angry White Boy Polka'.

Yes, it was called "Polkamon".

Al's pretty cool. I have several of his CDs... let's see... Poodle Hat, Dare To Be Stupid, Running With Scissors, Alapalooza, Bad Hair Day... I think that might be it...

Dawg 2005 October 16th, 2005 4:08 AM

This guy is incredible. My favorite song from him is "Pretty fly for a Rabbi". XD

I think I'll download some parodies now, XD.

John Denver October 17th, 2005 6:47 PM

He hasn't come out with a CD in a while...geez, he was the man back in the day.

Sailor Chibi Lunatone October 17th, 2005 6:49 PM

I love Wierd Al! I own most of his CDs. My two favorite songs have to be Ammish Paradise and Pretty Fly For A Rabbi.

He's recording his 11th right now!

And as far as I'm concerned, nothing can beat Alberqurque.
Can you top 11 minutes of ranting and raving about random crap?

I didn't think so.

bna_li October 22nd, 2005 8:54 AM

I think he has a good voice, and I like listening to most of his songs.

Bomberman October 22nd, 2005 8:55 AM

Oh, and if anyone is a hard core NIN fan, listen to Germs.
It combines Terrible Lie and Closer with lyrics about being paranoid about diseases :P

Recknin October 23rd, 2005 7:02 AM

never herd of him,her,it what ever it is

MegaFuz October 27th, 2005 7:35 PM

I actually saw Weird Al in concert a few years back. Haha, it was a great show. He would change costumes in between almost every song, and when he would be back changing they would play these little clips from movies or TV shows that were related to the song coming up. I still remember when he came out in the fat suit for "I'm Fat," his twist on Michael Jackson's song, "I'm Bad." Hahaha...good times. And yes...he did dress up for Amish Paradise. :P

ryan October 27th, 2005 8:08 PM

Weird Al is great. I've liked him ever since I could understand the lyrics (so, as long as I can remember). He was huge at my school in 6th grade when Running With Scissors came out.
My favorite album by him continues to be Bad Hair Day.
My favorite parody by him is probably "Amish Paridise".
My favorite original song would be "Everything You Know is Wrong" (it's so dumb, yet fun).
My favorite polka by him is "Angry White Boy Polka".
Weird Al is grand.
What parodies has Weird Al recorded that are better than the original (in your opinion)?
I think "Jurassic Park" is better than whichever song it parodied.

That'd be MacArthur Park. By who?
I don't know.

But you haven't heard MacArthur Park until you've heard Drew Carey play it on accordian and knee symbols :P

Pete November 2nd, 2005 9:44 AM

Man, he's hilarious.
You have not heard him properly until you hear Constipated(parody of Complicated)!
I've got Oops I'm breaking some wind!

Geometric-sama November 2nd, 2005 8:21 PM

I don't have a lot of Weird Al experience beyond "Polkamon", but what I've heard is funny :P
