World of Weird Al Yankovic

Sorry I am new not to threadjack this thread . This a great song but I can't find this song anywhere.

We can't help you with that, although YouTube may or may not be able to.

I wanted to know where to purchase it legally.

As far as Weird Al albums, it was never released. However, it might've been released on one of the Dr Demento Basement Tapes. As is my understanding, they're crazy expensive, especially if you're only after one track. In cases like this, I think that a wee bit of downloading could be forgiven.

I think Pacman's on Dr. Demento's Basement Tapes 4.

Good luck tracking that down.

You can get them through the Demento Society still. They dont advertise it anymore, but when I first ordered 15 years ago (yikes) I was able to get 1-3 with my purchase of the membership that included 4, then I reupped 5 years ago and got 5-14 Call to place an order and ask about past BT's, I think they were selling for 15 bucks each when I ordered 5 years ago.

I always wondered if Al was okay with Dr. Demento distributing his old work that he apparently hates so much.

Dr Demento would not put it out if Al didnt approve. Pac Man was something Al wanted to put out but he was turned down, so this was a good compromise. Same with ISBJTM. Most of the other stuff is demos

That sounds right.

So Al wanted this to go on the first album? That's good, it's a pretty good song.

I would say it's better than quite a few songs on the first album.
I had always thought with ISBJTM that Al automatically assumed he would be denied permission to release it anyway so didn't even bother to ask.
