Which song will be the hit?

[Bruce the Duck]

Yeah, my big question now is the concert. "Foil" and "Inactive" are destined to be in the medley. But "Word Crimes" and "Tacky" seem like they'd be hard to perform live with all the quick lyrics and background vocals.

[Elvis]

I was thinking he would have to slow some songs down when performing them live.

Background vocals shouldn't be a problem, he can have the band do them, or use something pre-recorded.

That's true. It worked out well enough for "White and Nerdy."

He'd definitely have to slow down "Word Crimes" though. Casual concert goers wouldn't be able to make out a word of that if it were done in the normal speed.

Gonna be honest here, I love the album, in fact I think from top to bottom it's the best one he's had since Running with Scissors, but nothing on here really screams "big hit" to me. Everything is great, but it's great in a Weird Al sort of way, meaning that if you're not a fan of Al and his type of humor, then it may not be your cup of tea. I really don't see anything here that is going to be a breakout hit with the general public or casual music listeners. Maybe I'll be proven wrong though.

I definitely think it could be Word Crimes, as long as it has a live action music video... which is a little unlikely.

I changed my vote from "Handy" to "Word Crimes." While "Handy" is funny, "Word Crimes" is genius. Also, Robin Thicke has been getting a little bit more attention recently (his new album just came out and did really poorly, the whole #AskThicke controversy, etc.), so it seems like a good time for a Robin Thicke parody—although "Fancy" still is #1. I'm wondering if Al also thinks that "Word Crimes" will be the hit, given that clips of it have already been played in at least two interviews and the whole song was played on the Dr. Demento Show. I'm planning to send the video to my old high school English teacher and some of my friends who are English majors as soon as it comes out.

I kinda see Word Crimes being a hit...maybe not on the radio, per se, but going viral and such.

I'm hoping it's one of the videos that were shot.

[Bruce the Duck]

I agree. "Word Crimes" will be big on the Internet. It has a lot of potential appeal to lots of people who wouldn't pay any attention to Al otherwise just based on the topic alone. One of the few parodies of Al's whose subject matter will be its key selling point.

For the others, I think a lot depends on the videos. "Handy" doesn't seem like it could get very big, but if the video has enough clever visual gags, it might really take off.

Also, "Tacky" is one that I can see a lot of people on YouTube using to make their own videos, much like "Happy" itself.

"Word Crimes" will probably soar compared to "Handy." It's just a bit more clever, a bit more catchy, and a bit more relatable to a mass audience.

Also, have any of the polkas ever gotten airplay? Maybe this is pushing it, but I think "NOW" deserves to be on the radio. It's so expertly composed, and the line-up of songs is perfect!

[Well, Well, Well]

Come on guys clearly its foil get with it.
