I can't wait to get home. I bet the vinyl copy is there along with the Birthday Boys season one DVD!

I don't have a record player, but I sure will look at it!!

No, just a two-sided insert with lyrics, credits, and the download code. It doesn't have all of the pictures that are in the CD booklet.

Here are some pics I snapped of the album art for the vinyl pressing. This is everything except the back cover, which is the same as the CD except there's a bit of a space between Polka and Mission Statement to indicate the sides.

Very cool, Jon!
I really need to get the CD. The digital booklet does not include lyrics. :(

A Halifax comedian is helping to launch the latest album of Weird Al Yankovic parodies.

Andrew Bush is probably best known in Nova Scotia as a member of the comedy troupe Picnicface, but today he’s celebrating the launch of a Weird Al video he directed.

Bush landed the job as part of his work on Will Ferrell’s website Funny or Die.

"Why wouldn't you? He's a legend. He's been doing comedy and music for 30 years,” Bush said Thursday. "It's a fun video. I'm super excited to represent Halifax."

Weird Al's Sports Song, directed by Bush, is the fifth of eight videos the parody artist is releasing.

Bush learned from working with the parody legend behind hits like Fat, Bad and Amish Paradise.

"[He’s] not as weird as you would expect, that being the first part of his name. He's just a really focused man who knows what he wants."

Jacqueline Warwick, an associate professor of music at Dalhousie University, has watched Weird Al’s career as he’s produced 14 albums over 38 years.

"This is the first time in quite a while that I remember there being this much excitement,” she said of the new album, Mandatory Fun.

Weird Al’s Word Crimes riffs on Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines, and flew around social media this week.

"It's the combination of the familiar with the shock of the new, the thrill of the new. We know the songs, we recognize the singing style; we get it,” Warwick said of his success.
