World of Weird Al Yankovic

I don't get Google alerts. All I did was post some info that was news to me. I missed the post in Hangin' 27. The first place I saw this news was over at STUPID. I just thought the news belonged in this thread, so I posted it here.

Forgive me. The recent ones have all been using Al's name but not about him at all.

So, um... when can we buy this thing? Do we know anything about when Al laid his tracks down?

It's supposed to come out in February. It says so right in the article I posted. I didn't see anything about when tracks were laid down, or when Al sang his part in "Time", but I'm intrigued by the Mamas and the Papas-like arrangement.

And we hope that Al was singing the part of one of the "Papas."

hehe, I think he was just referring to the style, but you already knew that.

Maybe he could do one with grandparents instead.

Has Ben always done style parodies too, or is it a little something that he got from someone else?

Hmm, well, "Rockin' the Suburbs" was a video style parody. Of course, that someone you are talking about directed it, so.....

Otherwise, I have no idea.

Well I'm sure Al didn't invent style parodies.

Well, Ben's definitly experimented with a lot of different genres, anyway.


By the way, a friend of mine pointed out how after all the times Ben's worked with Al and William Shatner, she fully expects a collaboration with David Cassidy
