World of Weird Al Yankovic

Yeah I really don't see why a lot of people think this is a weak song. It's one of the most well written ones on the album.

My grandfather was recruited into the CIA shortly before he was killed when my mom was quite young. This song puts a smile to our faces because of it.
I was told my grandfather could only receive dental care at specific places because his body was government property. Makes me appreciate "and a better dental plan than the FBI's" even more.

I know! This song is one of the best parodies on the album. Tied with "TMZ" in my opinion.

This is NOT a weak song. This is a really powerful song, made deeply creepy and sinister by the cheerleader bubblegum party vibe of the tune
I said on Twitter that it seemed like what the kid in "Trigger Happy" did when he grew up..

I saw that. I thought it was a good observation.

I dunno, I just don't think it's all that funny.

I had to watch the video to appreciate it at first, now when I hear it, I like it. Al makes all the current music likeable for me, I love it.

I really like the line "pluggin' the leaks like yeah." I don't think I've heard that joke before and it's kind of clever.

I wonder if that's a double-reference, one to the CIA and the other to the fact that to promote his album, he released leaks. Doubt it...

Care to explain?
