Sorry, I should have been more specific, I meant TMBJon's original post.algonacchick @ Oct 8 2006, 02:43 PM wrote: I never edited my original post, so I don't know what you're talking about. I'm pretty sure I did not say Don McLean sang TSB in concert. Hmm...
Thanks for the spelling correction.

The Flea quote was direct from the Behind The Music. As far as Mark Mothersbaugh, I forget the exact quote, but it was along the lines that he appreciated the "Dare To Be Stupid" style parody, but was 'upset that Al got a better bassline than us.' I know he was happy with it but jealous that it sounded better than what they did.TMBJon @ Oct 8 2006, 06:42 PM wrote: I remember that was the general idea but since I know for sure there is a direct quote on Behind The Music, I'll wait until someone who has access to the episode can get the direct quote. I left my VHS copy at my parents' house. And while you're watching for that, I know there's also a quote from Mark Mothersbaugh, the lead singer of Devo. I don't remember if there are any others in that special, but it's possible.

Okay, after magically fastforward to the exact right moment on my tape (that doesn't happen often) I got it.
Al: I played the tape for him. He seemed to really enjoy it. "That's a really cool synth sound. I wish we could get that."
Mark: I was in shock. It was the most beautiful thing I ever heard.
Al: He seemed to really enjoy it, but he could've been lying. I don't know.
Mark: He sort of resculpted that song into something else. I hate him for it basically.
There. That's essentially it for a minor misplace word here or there.

Flea: I didn't think it was very good. I enjoy Weird Al's things, but I found it unimagitive. It wasn't that great. Yabba Dabba Doo. I like Weird Al and everything. But you know everyone is hit or miss, except for me, of course.
Ta-da!

Thanks!
Alright, so does anyone know of any other artists that are missing from this list? I know there was some comment from They Might Be Giants about EYKIW which wasn't so positive. Something about them not wanting to be known for only playing that type of music. And didn't Al speak to Fred Durst directly for AWBP? Anything else?

I remember on Driven one of the writers of "I Love Rock n Roll" actually said "He showed me the lyrics. I thought they were funny."
