World of Weird Al Yankovic

And it can be said it all comes from blues

But if we continue to argue this, we'll be here ALL NIGHT

I too wouldn't mind a Bloodhound Gang style parody, albeit I'm not sure how it'd work.

And, while I think it'd have worked best on Alpocalypse, I still think an Arcade Fire style parody/direct parody would be great.

I think it was Big Spoon (or was it Barney Slayer?) who first suggested a Bloodhound Gang style parody several years ago. It's a great idea in theory, though their lyrics are generally already funny and the music is occasionally even a style parody. Also they're not that popular anymore.

Big Spoon, Barney Slayer... whatever BS.. lol
I was going to say earlier that I didn't think they were still a thing, and looked them up. Turns out they have a new album, but all the same, I think pretty much an "act of yesteryear"

I used to work with their "supplier". I know where those clever lyrics come from

Pretty sure it was me. I honestly can't see it happening anymore, though. For both of the reasons you stated.

I do like Bloodhound Gang, but it's been like 6 years since their last cd. And I really didn't like it as much as their first three albums. Think any ship that may have been around has long since sailed away.

Surely you jest. I wouldn't have imagined a rock star to do such the thing.
DJ Q-Ball did an appearance up at Bootleggers two weeks ago. Should've gone.

From what I understand, basically they're really popular in Europe which is where they've apparently been living for the better part of 5 years.

And they're slightly 'popular' around here, not so much the rest of the United States.

Yeah, I've been following their newest album. They claim its supposed to come out this year, but for all we know, it could take years. There last album came out 5 (2006 I think) years a go, and the album before that came out 7 years (in 1999) I think. Their new single "Altogether Ooky" was pretty good though, IMO.
