I thought "Green Eggs and Ham" was going to be on BHD?Killingsworth wrote:he also said he had "feelers" out to ther artists at the time...besides "Green Eggs and Ham" I wonder what other parodies were being considered that didn't get approved?
I think since "Numb" and "Alapalooza" were released in the same year, it would probably be too dated for BHD. Plus, it was on the 1993 Al Music special promoting "Alapalooza" so I think it's safe to assume it was planned for that album no matter what Wikipedia tells us. Besides, he already had a different U2 parody in mind for BHD.Way_Moby wrote:I thought "Green Eggs and Ham" was going to be on BHD?

So, he couldn't record it, but he's allowed to use it in a special?RyanHippFTW wrote:The reason, from what I've read, for "Green Eggs & Ham" not being released on any album was because permission was denied by the Dr. Seuss estate.
From what I recall, MuchMusic let Al get away with A LOT of stuff that he could've never pulled off in the States.HappyGilmore wrote:I don't understand. I guess cause he wasn't selling it?
