Yeah I noticed that after I had watched it a few times. It is pretty clever

I'm also putting question marks at "grabbing napkins" being an innuendo. It seems far fetched.
Love and peace.

I agree. That's not the only use of napkins you know. To me, #1 use of napkins, tissues etc is blowing my nose. Sometimes if I find a high quality paper towels in a public bathroom I take a handful :lookaround: .

Yeah. I don't think that I've ever met a person who hasn't grabbed a handful of napkins to take home from maybe Dunkin Donuts or a fast-food restaurant. I always grab them because we keep them in the car in case someone gets a bloody nose or just needs to blow their nose. ((Also comes in handy for when they don't give you napkins at the drive-thru))

I can see it being rude were the rest of the song not about being a stingy bastard who grabs a whole bunch of free smurf because it's free. It's no different to the line in Tacky about restaurant mints. Churning butter is an actual thing and yeah it's implied to be an innuendo for rubbing one out in the video, but that also contained a porno mag. You also missed "Pain in the ass" from Phony Calls, although that's cut off in much the same way mothersmurfer is in Another Tattoo.

But sure let's make a list of all the naughty references in Al's songs taken out of context to make them seem worse than what they are. There's Al's girlfriend from YDLMA who "made it with the whole hockey team" (In a row?) and his neighbour's babysitter who dated three of the guys in Motely Crue. There's the protagonist from Talk Soup, how the guy first sees Melanie, the BDSM references in Such A Groovy Guy and Confessions Part 3 and the fact that the title and first two lines of The White Stuff could possibly be talking about big sticky wads of jizz.

The title, yes I can see but the first two actual lines of the song are still a bit of a stretch to me.

Incidentally, my mom thought "The White Stuff" was about cocaine initially (she didn't hear the song, she just saw it referenced as a clue in a crossword puzzle)

I'm so glad someone else noticed this. This is my favorite thing. SAGG for kinkiest Weird Al song.

The butter churning is ABSOLUTELY, without a doubt, definitely innuendo (inYOUR--). He does the motion TWICE during the song in concert, and he does the second time even more obvious than the first. and i scream a lot each time
Amish Paradise is probably up there for Sexiest In-Concert Songs. Too bad he doesn't fully turn around anymore for "turn the other cheek."

"The first one was a sweet one
Second one was a blast"

I mean, if you're doing it so rough that you're stretching it, you might need to calm down a bit there buddy.
