I know this sounds kind of sacrilegious as an Al fan, and I am perfectly fine of a mod wants to lock this, but we all know that somewhere in the back inner-machinations of our minds is that one song or album or concert that Al has done that you just cannot stand. Now, I know we all say that we love everything our boy has ever done, but we all know that isn't 127% true. So here is the topic where we WOWAYers can express our true feelings about that little something that Al has sung, done, said, worn, eaten, etc. that really ticks us off.
Also, we must try not to take the opinions of others that post here personally, or be too mean-spirited, rude, obnoxious, etc. when posting the things we don't like, no matter how much you can't stand it.
As for me, I must admit I really don't like "I Think I'm a Clone Now". Although, I didn't like the original to begin with, so that probably doesn't help any. :?

Eat It.

I just flat out dispise Eat It. I just... just hate it. There's something about the song just annoys me.

I don't like it on some of his stuff (primarily early stuff) where he tried to make what was already funny even funnier by, ahem, singing through his nose. Later efforts have proven that he's just as funny when he's singing as beautifully as he's capable of. And he's quite capable indeed.
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

That'd be that life thing he has going on, and that he can't release a new album more often. :D


Of course, Al deserves it. I'm not belittling his human rights or anything. ;)

I don't have anything that I dislike about Al. I personally like when he sings through his nose. :D

In his earlier works, the parodies were just too... er... uncreative. Eat It. Come on... anyone could do that. There is absolutely NOTHING special about that.



don't hurt me.

Well look at it as 1984 not 2005. In 1984 people saw that as creative. Not many people back then were successful at something like that. But even Al has said that Eat It's not his most creative song NOW. Back then he and everyone else did. But when you compare it to other stuff, then yes, it is pretty uncreative. Also there's not much you CAN do with that song.....

Well, jace, you've just joined Mecca in the "I hate Eat It" club, so, we won't hurt you. We'll just be less nice. :P

And remember, kids, Al himself has been tiring of performing that song in concert, so maybe it will be replaced in the medley.

Um, I really can't think of anything right now that I dislike about Al. He's been so nice to me, I couldn't possibly say anything against him now. I wish I could see him sooner than next year. That's about it.
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

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

So awesome!

I've never been a huge Eat It fan myself...but hey, you gotta start somewhere (Or where the majority of people think you start)
