World of Weird Al Yankovic

Okay, I know it's not actually an Al song per se, but Al plays accordion on it and lyrically, it arguably resembles an early Al song more than a Barnes & Barnes one.

I was just wondering what people think of this song. I find everything about it hilarious, except for the possibly homophobic lyrics near the middle.

I think it's a fantastic song. I performed it as a monologue in my drama class in high school. I feel the early days of the Dr Demento show were better than they are now, but I think that was more the result of how bad everything sounded production wise. Plus all the in studio goings on we're awesome as well

I actually made a nice extended mix of this once - with Al brought up considerably in the mix, on top of everything else.

I made it because I was trying to reconstruct a faux compilation called 'The Weird Al Yankovic AnthALogy' that All Things Yankovic once had in their discography as an April Fool's prank. The track list had one non-existent track - "The Life And Times Of Jerome Finley" - so I tried to make a fill-in for that track by doing an extended 'Gumby Jaws Lament'.

Do you still have the mix? I'd like to hear it.

I'll upload it the next time I'm on the other computer.

Thanks! And I agree with your sentiments on TV Tropes about "One More Minute" and "Orgy On My Own."

You know Al helped write this song.

What sentiments are they, JohnnyLurg? I can't remember.... (I'm trying to find them myself - Al's main page has a mention of "Orgy" being 'explicit', but no comments under that - I certainly would've disagreed had I seen that!!)

"Um..... have you actually HEARD "Orgy On My Own"? That song is no more explicit than, say, "One More Minute." A legitimate example of this would be "Dead Car Battery Blues," since Al uncharacteristically says 'smurf'."

Oh, here's my extended mix:

On top of an extended intro and breakdown section in the middle, I re-jiggered the stereo mix so that Al's accordion stands out above everything.
