I'd say the Bohemian Polka "counts" for more than two inclusions in a polka medley, but that's just me.

However as for your other point,

they're just a hair above Queen

...

vs.

No, I think Queen wins in the hair department.

I just found a 30-second clip of the song on a popular music downloading site. Oddly enough, it was the UK page that Google found.

Lyrics: (These could be a bit inaccurate... The first bit was sung with very Queen-like harmonics, and it was a bit hard to understand the first few times)
SPOILER ...What was I thinking?
My friends stare at me whenever I get a call
Well everybody
Everbody
Everybody in the world really hates my ringtone!

When my phone goes off at work
I look like the biggest jerk
Total strangers want to slap me around
When it's ringing...

So when is the Internet Leaks EP going to be available? Amazon UK has the "release date" as 8/21 (this date is listed twice), but the box on the right says "this album will be available on 26 Aug. 2009".

What gives?

Bridger, are you Amerah's little brother?

JNN is reporting some more bits of information regarding Friday's Collabojam premiere:

*The video is not even totally finished yet. Last minute tweaks are still going on at the moment.
*The promos from last week involving Al and Josh in the Twittersphere involved fake legs so they could look like they were floating. Thus his message from last week regarding "rotoscoping Weird Al's legs": the fake legs had straps that had to be digitally removed.
*The Collabojam is going to feature Weird Al music video clips as well as Supernews clips. There will be a live action segment showing Al and Josh chatting while watching the old, previously seen clips, and that will culminate in the premiere of Ringtone.
*In the source's opinion the song itself is "alright" but "it gets stuck in your head." According to him, however, it is a one-joke song akin to Genius in France.

Well that's disappointing. I hope it will at least be a better song than GIF.
