Using Weird Al In School Projects

[Iamabrawler]

My first Al-related school project...
For a class that is about searching in different places for information on a person or subject, I decided to talk about the concept of parody in songs, and for that I use Couch Potato. If any of you have ideas of websites or books that I can try finding that talk about Al or the song, (and OTHER than Wikipedia since I already used it) or for Lose Yourself or Eminem, that would be appreciated. I think I`ll also need the details of Poodle Hat`s album and also Eminem`s single, if anyone has it.

So yeah, I have to fill in 5 pages about the similarities between the two songs and of course explain how Couch Potato can eb considered a parody thanks to these similarities. Lotta work in front of me.

I don't think I'm far enough into school to get into projects that could fit the weird guy in.

The only Al-related school assignment I've ever did was saying "a person I admire is Alfred Yankovic."

I used Al in this school project here for Halloween.

In my college english composition class i have to write a 3 to 5 page paper on music that is important or has meaning to you. The only thing i could possible write that much about is of course Al. And even that is hard for me, i barely got 3 pages. But its just a rough draft so i'm sure i'll think of more to put in it before class on tuesday

My language arts teacher showed us a bunch of Weird Al videos today and I thought it was for our pure entertainment, but I was horribly wrong. She apparently wants us to write a parody of a classic work of literature. Like something by Shakespeare, or Edgar Allen Poe, or King James. Help!

Alright, this is pissing me off. In my ninth grade engllish class, our teacher assigned us a project where we had to write our own versions of scenes from Romeo and Juliet. We had three options to choose from. One was a parody and I forget what the other two were. Our teacher did not bring up Al in explaining the guidelines of a parody. I guess it's understandable since comparing song parodies to literary parodies is just apples and oranges when you think about it, but it still pisses me off not getting any early exposure to "the weird one." Anyway, I ended up writing the Simpsons adaptation of the entire play all by myself on loose leaf paper (since we had also read the Odsysey and they had done that one) and the whole class preformed it haphazardly which I assume will be forever lost to the ages now.

Also, I seem to remember my little sister once telling me that her eight grade teacher assigned her to do some sort of science related song parody and even a mere mention of Al was once again left neglected. She asked me for help and I didn't know what to tell her.

Seriously? I wish we could parody classic literature in my English class. I would be the happiest teenager EVER. Especially in the class.
