"Weird Al" was, absolutely, included and important and for the first time, I recorded 3 all-new covers with accordion and vocals!
Who plays instruments other that an accordion (I mean other covers)?
BTW, you speaking voice is kind of sexy (don't get me wrong, your singing voice is also great, but it's quite different, so I thought it's worth mentioning).

MyBologna, not bad! -Your cover of My Bologna reminds me of Al's 1979 single.

Ten years ago (hard to believe it!), I posted a polka medley of 90% Al original songs (due to tempo restrictions/song choice, Smells Like Nirvana and Ricky made the final cut). I finally finished recording a decent-sounding, updated take that takes into account the albums that have been released since 2006... hope you enjoy!
And because there's no other appropriate name for it, it's called "Polka #27."
Ever since Al brought back "Melanie" at the 501st bash, I've been drawn to this song day after day. I decided to make a little piano arrangement for it.
So I haven't done any Al songs onstage in 7 years, but tonight at a Holiday cabaret for a theatre group I work with I got to bust out the accordion and sing "The Night Santa Went Crazy"!
Thank you so much, Shinureal Im doing the same thing with piano, and I know what you mean, its scary how quickly I forget songs, ha ha. I can spend a month learning them and then forget them in a couple weeks
DJcooltrainer, I actually dont have any sheet music, since I do all of my covers by ear, but if youd like I could send you some notes about the Dark Force song, at least, since its fresh on my mind.
(don't get me wrong, your singing voice is also great, but it's quite different, so I thought it's worth mentioning).
