World of Weird Al Yankovic

No. Jimmy has had people on there doing that same bit many times

When we talked to him it didn't feel like Al was really implying that at all. Seemed more so like just a really weird coincidence. That dope Fallon is always doing that impression so it wouldn't surprise me if it was just a coincidence.

Not at all. Jimmy does a Neil Young bit where he sings a song that Neil wouldn't sing. It's pretty good.

Video is out (although I am sure most of us have already seen it)

Stupid video wont play on my phone

That video is so boring and dumb.

It's probably my least favorite of the bunch. Visually it's pretty cool, but there aren't a lot of jokes (kind of like the song itself I guess).

Much like the song itself, you must be familiar with corporate philosophies to get the humor of the song and video. I had many LOL moments during the song, and the video was perfect for the song, because corporate trainings use this form of animation for videos about business strategies and mission statements. Personally, I loved it!

But then Al was told that there were no openings for him to come on the show. And then a week or so later, CSN actually did appear on the Tonight Show and sang "Fancy" with Jimmy-as-Neil-Young!

Jimmy Fallon is a smurfin' idiot.

This doesn't mean that Jimmy Fallon lied to him, just so he could perform. He has to pay his guests. And he already had the celebrities that were being interviewed that he had to pay, and then he added CSN and he had to pay them too. Maybe they just didn't wanna pay one more person.

Hey, I like this video. It's not LOL-hilarious, it's... poignant. It's appropriate.

I'm not a huge fan of this song. I think I've mentioned that I appreciate the concept, I'm just not a fan of CSN-Y music so the song doesn't 'do anything' for me. But I actually like it a lot better with the video. I think it does a great job of showcasing the juxtaposition of hippie with capitalist, which is what the humour is actually about for this song (like how a good deal of the humour of Trigger Happy is in the contrast between the dark lyrical content and the super-happy dancey music). The paisley sections in the instrumental breaks actually did have me chortling out loud.
