Polka Vid?!

Postby BIGAlfan2711 » Thu Jun 09, 2011 1:11 am

On Al's Twitter, he said:
It’s official – there’s going to be a music video for EVERY SINGLE SONG on my new album.

So that means Polka Face will have one too, right? Sure, I already saw a little speculation in a different topic, but this is a whole forum for it! So have fun, kiddies.
Al's working on Album #14 RIGHT NOW (kinda)!!!!

Polka Face is indeed a song on the new album. So yes.

I'm assuming it's animated?

I only assume that as I'd assume rights to clips of the real videos likely cost some money and such, so. :blink:

I'm guessing it's the same video that's played behind the song in concerts. It involves the original videos sped up to be in the polka style. It's obviously not going to be released, but there is a video for it.

Anyone else not really care too much for the animated videos? I really didn't like any of the ones that came off the last album. I guess they're to have for those that do enjoy them however.

They're there because it's a cheap and efficient way to make music videos for all the songs and get them out there. Now instead of Al's audience only getting one or two songs from the album, every song on the album now has a chance to become a mega viral YouTube hit.

Would you rather Al just not have any videos made at all?

I think it's misleading the way he said that without him intending him to do so. For one thing, he was just trying to cleverly post someting for #overdoingit, or something like that. You have to parse the sentence. I think what he was trying to say, for every song on his album, there's going to be a video. However that doesn't mean there are going to be 12 videos on the album. PTW and Polka Face will have videos, but they won't be on the album.
so for every single song on his new album, there will be a music video, but I don't think we're getting 12 videos on the new album. Does that make sense?

some of these videos i bet won't even be worthy of youtube. a sad waste of money and exposure of smurf "artists", but it's soooo cool to have videos.
