I love both Yoda and TSB, but I don't play them more than any other Al song. I always find it impossible to pick a favorite song, because that will depend on my mood and what I've gotten tired of hearing. I enjoy a song more after it's had a nice rest and I've been busy appreciating something else. Yet people always want to list their favorites (or least favorites). It's a harmless compulsion, I suppose. But I have a great big list of favorites for a favorite artist (naturally) and a comparatively short one of songs I skip. Neither of the Star Wars songs would be on my skip list-- I think they're spot on. But that's why people have personal playlists, so we can all indulge ourselves.
Unpopular opinion: There's no such thing as a "good" Al song. There are only songs you like-- and you can like or dislike whatever songs you want to.

I really have no problem with that either...TMBJon @ May 04, 2009 03:11 pm wrote: Here's one that may ruffle a few feathers: if a friend told me they downloaded Al's music illegally, I wouldn't really care.
I know multiple people who have become fans of Al after downloading songs from him first, and these people eventually became VERY GREAT fans, some of which are on this forum!
Personally, I was never a huge fan of Amish Paradise!
It made me laugh a bit the first time I heard it, but honestly, I tend to skip over it most of the time...I just really never liked the original, and it made me not like the parody too much...

I think UHF is worth seeing at least once, or twice, but it stands on its own as being something of value. I know I've seen it several several times, but most of those were times that I was showing them to friends!weird_el @ May 05, 2009 06:22 am wrote: I agree with those who have only seen UHF or the Weird Al Show once or twice. They're all right but not nearly as engaging as Al's videos are.
As for the Weird Al Show, I don't think I've seen each episode more than two or three times, one of which was with commentary for each...It just gets old pretty quick and isn't one of those shows you can watch multiple times with replay value...

I watched TWAS all the time during last summer (as it was my brothers' steady obsession then), and I don't find it GOOD, but I don't dislike it either.
If I tried to watch it with commentary, I would get some child screaming its head off about how he "couldn't hear," so I really enjoy it with that.
Same here with Amish Paradise. Well, I find it really clever and good, it's just that I don't really listen to it all the time.

I think Bad Hair Day is a weak album overall.
I don't like Al's Band.
And I think Al is better at writing original songs than parodies.
edit: Oh and I don't freak out whenever somebody says "Yankovic-h" or that they downloaded his music off Limewire.
