I put together a Spotify playlist of just the originals for anyone who needs to brush up on them. 8) Including me!! I included the polkas because they are technically original compositions.

I will post my requests when I feel I am ready! :ttr:

During the Off the Deep End tour, Al was doing a radio spot on KZ93 in Peoria, IL, before that show. Somebody called in hoping they would be doing "Trigger Happy" that night. Nope. Also, this guy sounded more like a "gun guy" and less like an "Al guy" (not that they are necessarily mutually exclusive). But he seemed to be taking the lyrics more seriously than most. Good memory!

This is as far as I can narrow it down:

Midnight Star
Buy Me A Condo
Mr. Popeil
(We've heard Dare To Be Stupid enough the last few years, as much as I love it, I hope it doesn't get played any or much this tour)
One More Minute
This Is The Life
Dog Eat Dog
Stuck In A Closet With Vanna White (Moreso because it's my ride's favorite song, I never really cared for it)
UHF (SERIOUSLY AL, YOU NEED TO DO UHF!!!!)
Biggest Ball Of Twine In Minnesota
I was Only Kidding
You Don't Love Me Anymore
Franks 2000" TV
Young Dumb And Ugly (A few years ago, I saw him when he was alternating F2000 and YMM, and I was hoping for Frank but got YMM, and I was dissapointed because I love Frank and I never cared for YMM, but then seing it live, the energy that it built, and a great second song for the show, I realized it really was awesome. I feel like YD&U would be the same thing, never really cared for it, but would probably be awesome live.)
Everything You Know Is Wrong
Callin In Sick
Since U Been Gone
My Baby's In Love With Eddie Vedder (I have seen this live before, but... honestly, I still don't really know who EV is XD He's... a drummer? XD I just think it's a fun song. :) )
Germs (Agan, seen it, but one of my absolute favs)
That's Your Horoscope For Today (Haven't seen!)
Albuquerque (Seen, but he's gotta do it!)
Virus Alert
Pancreas (I dunno if that's doable live with all the effects, but I'd love it!)
Weasel Stomping Day
If That Isn't Love
My Own Eyes
