I didn't know the Buckingham Blues part, where could we hear this unreleased version?

hmmm, did he really perform that song? Dave? Bermuda? I know he wanted to parody Jack and Diane with Buckingham Blues, but he couldn't. Anyway, the Homer and Marge song wasn't written by Al, but he did get to sing it.

4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

What?! That's news for me! They invite "Weird Al" Yankovic, the Prince of Parody, onto a TV show and have someone else write the parody he'll be singing?!

Well, at least he got to be on the show! The writers wrote the song.

Yes ... incredibly it is true ...

So they came up with some additional lyrics and I went back to the Fox lot several weeks later to record that as well.

Call me a purist, but at the time he recorded it his professional name was John Cougar. Then he became John Cougar Mellencamp. I think now he's John Mellencamp. I wonder if he'll ever be just John. <_<

And the song is actually just called "Jack and Diane."
