People are stupid.

Here is a cool blog about the CNR video from one of the employees. She mentions how a lot of the folks who suffer CNR's rath in the video are from JibJab.

:D

I'm glad it wasn't about Chuck Norris, wouldn't have been Al's style IMO. Having it about CNR just makes it that much better.

Neat blog! Love the GIF they made. :P
You can call me GEAH (GreenEggs&Ham) or Kat...I'll respond to either one.

I'm Googling CNR, and so far the response is very positive. It's really hitting funnybones. Best quote so far:
Only one manatee was harmed (for life) in the making of this video.

"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

hehe, yeah, I thought that was cool. In response to her saying she was drumming and there was a fella's head on her body, I tweeted this message:

@algonacchick @trishans - hehe, awesome! btw, that fella is Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz. Consider yourself honored. Excellent video, btw! I love it!

My favorite listen-through of the song so far has been the time I listened without the video. I just kind of felt like it took away from the song. I liked DICYO and thought they really added to the song that time. I guess it's just me, but I would have liked to see way more White Stripes parody in the video (SO MUCH to work with there, with all those Michel Gondry videos), and less about CNR - at least for a part of the video anyway.
Could someone fill me in on the Jim Croce lyric reference? I'm familiar with his work, but didn't catch what you're referring to.

ok, no longer lagging here. The Jim Croce reference:

'Cause you can spit in the wind or tug on Superman's cape
But Lord knows you just don't mess around with CNR

Midnight Special is still one of my fave all time shows, though. Find some clips from it if you can. Lots of classic acts were on that show!

You're welcome.

I'll have to look at that footage. I loved Jim Croce.

That was great. Thanks, Wizzercat!
