If you are easily offended, don't read on.

THE BOB VIDEO SUCKED! I don't even call it a music video. I call it a lame excuse for a video. Man, I can't believe Al would do something like this. I hate Weird Al now. You know what, I'm gonna go off and sell all my albums on eBay for MORE THAN I BOUGHT THEM FOR! Take that, Alfred!

Now here's the big one. Even if you are not easily offended, I do not reccomend you read on.

But the Bob video really did suck. :mad:

MOD Edit: Because using up that much space is just obnoxious.]

Was it really neccessary to use that much space just to say that?

Yeah, I suppose not. I wasn't thinking of bandwidth or anything like that when I posted it. Sorry!

Best Al video ever. That's the final word.

You know you can edit your posts. But you don't have to because I just did.

I just noticed something last night, and since this thread is about "Bob" I thought it would be appropriate.

I was watching UHF again this weekend and had the audio commentary by Weird Al and Jay Levey turned on. At one point (I wish I had written down exactly when!), they are talking about how they came up with certain character names, and stories or interesting facts about them. When they got to the name Bob, Weird Al mentioned the fact that "Bob" is a palindrome!

So my guess is, if my understanding of the timeframe involved is correct, they probably recorded the audio commentary around the same time or a little after Al had finished writing his original songs for PH, right? Does anyone know roughly when the commentary was recorded?

So maybe Weird Al mentioned that fact thinking, "In a year or so, after I finally get my new contract and the album is released, fans will watch this and say, 'Hey! He just mentioned Bob was a palindrome long before the song came out!' " And if he thought that, he'd be right!

Little did he know "Bob" would become a video, too.

weirdal.com says they started recording Bob on 3/26/02. The properties on my UHF DVD say the file was last modified on 3/27/02 (I remember because I submitted that to Elvis' big 27 list), so it looks like you may be onto something. In March 2002, Al had palindromes on his mind -- appropriate because 2002 is in itself a palindromic year.

While I agree with this statement, I must point out Spacedingo was the first to recognize this in the "Cross Song Refrences" topic

QUOTE Possible Poodle Hat clue on UHF!

The audio commentary, when Al and Jay are talking about character names and their origins, Al mentions he chose Bob, because it's a palindrome.
Seems to me that song was sitting in one of his famous notebooks by then waiting to be recorded (Or already recorded)[/url]

Bob

WHOOPOO!!!
