Smooth..... <_<

Incidentally, judging from the track list a whole load of stuff has been added.. much ripped from You-Tube vids by the look of it. I've a feeling (though I dont know) that this wasn't done by the originator of T U C and whatever the legal rights and wrongs of the whole concept, it was originally an admirable piece of work. Not sure that the originator will be happy with someone else (I presume) taking credit and adding sub-par extensions, or indeed how people like MC Lars etc would feel about his song credited to Al finding its way out there into Limewire land. Think on.
Someone posting songs from The Ultimate Collection on Twitter?

If there was an angry/interested/confused/curious emote, I would use it right about now.

A couple of people have promoted a page where you can d/l T.U.C It has the original tracklist (including all the spelling mistakes) but the original compilers message removed and a new one inserted.. plus theres 1.5 discs of extra material which, as I said looks to be mostly the sound ripped from a bunch of Y-T vids, interviews and recent things

Have you even heard the real version of Orgy On My Own? How about the ultra-rare Crazy Cow Therapist?

Really? Everything? Orgy On My Own? The special fake version of Albuquerque? Dr. D Superstar?

I've been looking for A Matter of Crust everywhere. Have you even heard that?

Oh, my bad. I meant everything ever released. Where can you get those? :)

After several years of intense contemplation on this subject, I think my favorite Weird Al song is "School Cafeteria"

I have no idea where you could get those. I'm still looking myself. I have a 17-second excerpt of Dr. D Superstar, which is all that aired on the Dr. Demento show in 1976.

Have you heard the single version of School Cafeteria? It has a line that the regular version doesn't, and it doesn't have a part that the regular version does have.

Have you ever heard Dead Car Battery Blues? Miniature Golf? There are some bad ones.

I love Nobody Here But Us Frogs the most, I think.
