Not so much a big surprise, there'll be lots of surprises on the new album... but something in particular that will make the fans say "Wow, I didn't think that would happen, I always thought that..."

Well, I've said too much, you guys have probably already figured out what I'm talking about!
Die-hards, hardcores and aficionados will spot it immediately. Anyone else with moderate info about Al will probably pick it up quickly, and people who have never heard of Al or don’t buy the CD will miss it completely.


You can find the thread that I am referencing here.



Anyone want to speculate what Bermuda was thinking of here? I have an idea but I want to hear what y'all think.

Good question. Most people seem to think it's the Billy Joel parody, but I don't remember where Al said he would never consider doing another BJ parody (or that BJ would never allow Al to do so).



Say, Bermuda...now that the album is out, can you let us in on what the semi-surprise you were referring to was?



Thanks,

I'm downright convinved it's Ode to a Superhero, and I still want my cookie!

No, he didn't. I just certainly would never have expected a Billy Joel parody at this time and especially of Joel's almost theme song, either.

My guess is actually the Beck/Prince style parody.

I thought Prince was pariah to Al (well.. except for, apparently, the videos.. so maybe not)

And that question would be: Bermuda, are you surprised your fans just aren't as smart as you thought they were??



Great performance last night BTW!

By the way, now that I've listened to Wanna B Ur Lovr a few more times, I'm more and more convinced it's way more Beck rather than Prince. And plus, I'd imagine Al listens to Beck more than the royal pain.



Edited to put the right "than"s in there, becuase OE scares me :)
