World of Weird Al Yankovic

I could see it happening. Al's not a children's artist, people.

I'd still like the recording of it though. So I could go around showing people "LOOK WHAT AL DID!!!"

We know he's not, Jace, but, I don't know, that just seems out of character for him.

He's not a children's artist, but he is committed to keeping his concerts family-friendly. He's said as much several times. Al is also a very considerate person, and he knows a lot of kids go to his shows. I can't imagine him sacrificing that by saying something like that, even if he thought it would ultimately be blocked out. That doesn't seem like a chance he'd take.

Where is Elvis? It seems like he'd have that show, if anybody would have it...

(Can't get into his website though, so I can't see his trade list.)

OK, here's my final verdict on the "Closer" case...

He doesn't say it. In fact, he doesn't say ANYTHING - he sings "I wanna (pause) you like an animal" both times. The confusion may have come from the fact that the audience does, quite audibly, sing the 'proper' lyrics... but I can definitely say that Al does not f-bomb there.

Like he would.

No, it sounds like he says it... kinda high-pitched, though.

Where are you getting this to hear it?

I'm in the won't believe until I hear it camp. But that said - so what, 1 curse does not a bad role model make. Everyone slips up now & then.

I just asked around until someone gave it to me.

Al's #27 Fan, I was told that you have the same file I do... and it's very, very obvious that nothing comes out of Al's mouth during those two spots. You're definitely just hearing someone from the audience. Listen with headphones and crank it up - Al goes silent.

In fact, the second time it sounds like "wanna" runs right into "you", so there definitely isn't anything in between.

Thank you, The Lazenby. I had a feeling Al wouldn't say that word.

I'm with The Lazenby on this one.
