World of Weird Al Yankovic

Let's keep our songs straight. This topic is to track what we know and seperate rumors from facts (Or rumored facts...if there is such a term). It's good just to have a quick reference point for this.

Songs That Have Been Most Rumored:


Untitled Ne-Yo Parody (Please discuss in spoiler chit chat until further notice)

These songs were rumored at one point by various sources, but should not be taken as credible info at this time. They should be regarded as nothing more than pure speculation, and will not be on the Album:


Nowhere to be Found (Radiohead style parody)
Things in my Room (Tom Lehrer style parody)
Straight Outta Lynwood (NWA Style Parody)




These rumored parodies will NOT be on the album. They're either a result of fan speculation or NOT AL parodies:

Anchor (Jay Z/Linkin Park parody)
Blue Organ (White Stripes Parody)
Polka in the Closet! or Trapped in the Polka!

The following songs are HOAXES and will ABSOLUTLY NOT be on the album.

Please do not respond to this topic unless you know of a song to be added (Or have noticed a song's status change...no one talking about it, web references gone, etc). If there's something about the list you need to talk about, take it to the Spoiler Chit Chat topic or a song's appropriate topic. Let's keep this topic as a quick reference point. Don't clutter it. Mods, you can sticky this topic if you'd like

and blue organ?

Added. Thank you, I forgot that one. (This is a work in progress)

I feel that because of the Robot Chicken episode guide "Weasel Stomping Day" should be under the "Songs most likely to be on the album" list. I can see why it wouldn't be on that list and be on the other I guess, but I personally think it should be on the "most likely" list.

I'm with Barney Slayer; I also added "Crazy Cow Therapist" to the rumored list.

My reasons for not immediatly upgrading Weasel Stomping Day was because once upon a time, there was speculation that in fact, it was the album name.


Now that we pretty much know the album is called "Straight Outta Lynwood", then Weasel Stomping Day definitly belongs on the upper level.

Thanks for putting this together, spacedingo. I wanted to put a spoiler forum topics guide together so people knew where to post, but this will work nicely. I added some links.

Please post in the appropriate topics, it will help keep the topics cleaner and the conversations clearer. If your not sure what topic to post in, use spoiler chit chat. Thanks.

I'm adding You're Pitiful. It's not likely, but you never know. There's still time for Atlantic to change their minds (if this album's following Poodle Hat's down to the deadline status) I'm also bumping Anchor down since the rumor seemed to have no basis, was very short lived, and seemed to be very one-sided.

I'd advise that Nowhere To Be Found and Things In My Room be moved to the very unlikey but you never know catagory. There was absolutely no evidence that they were even rumored names now that someone admitted to making them up completely.

You're absolutly right TMBJon, and for that matter Blue Organ. Those pretty much match the rumors for Anchor anyway.
