RIP "The Not Al Page?"
It looks like this old stalwart may have gone offline? And didn't somebody mention a different (and more updated) site that was doing the same good service?

Re: RIP "The Not Al Page?"
It went offline? Aww...
I don't know about another site that does the same thing, but at this point, P2P services aren't as huge so those mistagged mp3s aren't floating around as much anyway.

And you say this the day after a woman told Al TO HIS FACE that yes, he did write "Elmo's Got a Gun!"weirdojace wrote:It went offline? Aww...

Re: RIP "The Not Al Page?"
Al has written every parody ever produced. Anyone who claims otherwise is lying through their teeth. The owner of the page must have finally realized this, and it's about time.

Re: RIP "The Not Al Page?"
I haven't seen someone misattribute one of those songs to Al in a long time. Doesn't mean it never happens. Just not as much. The primary means of filesharing now is BitTorrent, where your download will usually be an artist's entire catalog in one package. So downloaders aren't going to get mistagged songs like that. The people who will are the generation that still uses smurf like Limewire. Which most people don't.

Re: RIP "The Not Al Page?"
Wasn't that smurf killed a few months ago? It was all over the tech news. Which sucks, because my computer can't handle torrents, effectively ending my P2P life.weirdojace wrote:I haven't seen someone misattribute one of those songs to Al in a long time.

Re: RIP "The Not Al Page?"
Wrong Al songs are still all over You Tube so that would indicate something might still be needed. However, those who think "Which Backstreet Boy is Gay?" is Al's song probably are not trying to find out any correct info anyway....
Is my dude a dweeb?

Re: RIP "The Not Al Page?"
I'm still being told non-Al songs are Al songs, once a month or so. And yeah, there's still a lot of not Al songs credited to him on youtube.
Could someone share the new, updated site? I've not heard of it before.

Re: RIP "The Not Al Page?"
Thankfully the YouTube videos tend to get a ton of "This isn't Weird Al!!!" comments. So that helps.
I've also seen cases where the uploader has corrected the error. Yay!

Re: RIP "The Not Al Page?"
Anyone who is on Twitter and looking for Al related things is going to see possibly 30-40 mis-attributed songs per day, so bang goes that theory. All that stuff has found its way onto Grooveshark and many other file hosts. People mostly are not interested in making the corrections and really are not sympathetic to the idea that it might be detrimental to Al.. So yeah.. its continuing as much as ever
There is this page....
http://www.com-www.com/weirdal/notbyal.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
but I'm not sure it covers as much as the one that was lost
I hope the webmaster there is able to keep track and I urge him to consult with all the experts here as well.. and I also hope that the complete US discography site
http://dmdb.org/discographies/al.disco.txt" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
can also get an update in the near future
