Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2006 Scarily enough, I think Weird Al was the first musician I was really into. I probably wore out my cassette of "Off the Deep End". I always loved "Trigger Happy." Also, I can't remember the title, but the one song where he talks about tying up his prom date and leaving her in the desert and other messed up stuff like that.

The Metal Maniac 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2006 That's "Good Old Days". Do you remember sweet Michelle? She was my high school romance She was fun to talk to and nice to smell So I took her to the homecoming dance Then I tied her to a chair and I shaved off all her hair And I left her in the desert all alone Sometimes in my dreams I can still hear her screams Oh I wonder if she ever made it home Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Amazing Rando 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2006 I just remembered how awesome the video for "This Is The Life" is. Also, I dig "Here's Johnny", "Good Old Days", "King of Seude", and "Midnight Star" (the last two being off of In 3-D) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2006 Good stuff. You know, off the top of my head, I can't even think of any other parodies he did that were making fun of the song itself, and not just using the song to make fun of something else. "This Song is Just Six Words Long." Actually, considering it's Al it's surprisingly vicious since it's more or less calling "Got My Mind Set On You" by George Harrison absolutely pointless and poorly-written.

Adam 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2006 I own the Weird Al DVD, which is always great for a laugh. As for my favourite filmclips, "Bob" is awesome, "Smells like Nirvana" is perhaps his best parody, and "Headline News". Honorable mentions to "Amish Paradise", "It's All About the Pentiums", and "Eat It". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That kind of thing is hard to ignore Got a funny feeling you don't love me anymore I knew that we were having problems when You put those pirranas in my bathtub again You're still the light of my life Oh darling I'm begging won't you put down that knife You know I even think it's kinda cute the way You poison my coffee just a little each day I still remmember the way that you laughed When you pushed me down the elevator shaft Oh if you don't mind me asking what's this poisonous cobra doing in my underwear drawer Sometimes I get to thinking, You don't love me anymore You slammed my face down on the barbecue grill Now my scars are all healing, but my heart never will You set my house on fire You pulled out my chest hairs with an old pair of pliers Oh, you think that I'm ugly and you say that I'm cheap You shaved off my eyebrows while I was asleep You drilled a hole in my head Then you dumped me in a drainage ditch and left me for dead Oh, you know this really isn't like you at all You never acted this way before Honey, something tells me you don't love me any more, oh no no Got a funny feeling you don't love me anymore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jericholic82 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2006 he did a song that's on the same album as the Nirvana goof where he does a medley of songs that were popular at that time and does it all in Polka...it's great! EDIT: which was Polka Your Eyes Out, as Dubs already covered... He does that on every album. yep I liked his one on poodle hat (called "Angry White Boy Polka") which had had a video for on the last Al-Tv in 03 (which was pretty funny show which had "interviews" with Avril Lavigne, Eminem, and Celine Dion, where they showed real interview clips spliced with Al asking weird questions, HILARIOUS) as for my fav, maybe amish, although I did like the flinstones one. Gump was great as well (Gump as a shrimp-boating man, had a partner he called Lt. Dan, his girlfirned Jenny was kind of a slut, went to the white house showed LBJ his BUTT) or something like that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FroGG_NeaL 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2006 Man, I love me some Weird Al. I can't pick a single favorite song or video, I've been a fan of the guy since I first saw the Eat It video on MTV when I was like 5 years old. I got to see him live at Six Flags here in St. Loius a couple of years ago. He dresses like he does for the videos for each song. And they played those fake interviews on a huge screen. It was an awesome show, if you ever get a chance to see dude live then do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
