Thanks again!
I've known him for a long time without knowing it. I admit. Sorry, please forgive me. I know it's illegal, but WAY is hard to hear about here. It's a long story, so here it goes. The first occasion was when I saw Spy Hard in 4th grade (8th now) and I thought: "What a funny man blowing his head up in the intro."
Second time was in the movie Pokémon 2000 were he sang "Polkamon". My friend Jakob and me loved that song, so we listened to the mp3 over and over.
Third time my dad borrowed a mix cd from one of his students at school and burned a copy of it. There was some Weird Al tracks on it. The first one I was very fascinated of: "The Alternative Polka". I couldn't get it out of my head. Other tracks on the CD was "Everything You Know Is Wrong", "Livin' In The Fridge", "Yoda" and "You Don't Love Me Anymore". I borrowed my dad's copy, but I was unsure of "Yoda" and "You Don't Love Me Anymore". I didn't know if it was the same guy who sang for example "The Alternative Polka". But soon I forgot about it.
About a year after (Nov. 2002) I got it in mind again and searched for some lyrics, and I found out the track was named "The Alternative Polka" and the artist was "'Weird Al' Yankovic". (Later on I got the other names too. And I misspelled "weird" as "wierd" until some months ago where I found out.) I immediately started KaZaA and clicked on every of the hundreds of songs there were listed. I went to his official site and saw that there were many fakes out on the Internet. I stopped my queue list and deleted everything and started over. I only picked what I saw in Catalogue. Soon I had most of the tracks after some days of downloading in my Easter vacation 2003. Some friends online helped me, both with ripping and searching and so I got the last ones I missed. (I have 167 MP3's today and I also got a lot of unreleased and concert songs and all his music videos except "Christmas At Ground Zero", which also is out in an unofficial anime version. My collection hasn't ended yet.
) A half year later I glitch checked every single track with headphones on; even a single bump was enough! It took a week and I downloaded new versions of the corrupted songs or I edited them in an audio program. Some of them were hard to find again.
I would definitely buy all WA albums if they existed in my country, honestly. I like Poodle Hat very much. Since it is a new album I recognize most of the parodies from the original songs. "Weird Al" Yankovic's first compact disc came out long before I was born.
She (aka Mama Bear) can give that picture that says "don't make me call Mama Bear". Just a word of advice. Again I'm glad that you were able to find his songs.
