Anyone notice how Al turns to spit out the icecream in ILRR after he eats the triple scoop?

I didn't notice that, modular, although I perfer not to watch that video, if at all possible. And thanks for the info on OMM's female subject. I just wish people would STOP MISINTERPETING THAT LINE. It means NOTHING, or at LEAST nothing like THAT. Leave_it_ALONE_. Geez.

I don't know what he mentioned about the female subject, but that was the girlfriend the song is about.

Weird Al is one of the BEST lip synchers in the buissness in music videos.

If you're talking about the "self service pumps" line, it means exactly what people have been saying it means.

On alsongs.com, when you look at the lyrics, the words "self service pumps" are highlighted. When you click on them, a window pops up. It says "think about this one and figure it out for yourself."

That's probably because it's mashed potatoes (real ice cream would melt under studio lights)

Also, I've seen several picture collections from the PH tour (I can't believe I missed the shows!) that go in chronological order, including weirdallie27's, which are really good. Anyway, in some of them Al has his little goatee in everything up until Amish Paradise, then it *magically* disappears for the rest of the show. Does he shave it in between songs (to get that 'amish look') or am I insane (not that that has anything to do with this, specifically

)?

Those come-and-goatee pictures must be from the first concert of a particular leg of the tour. Yes, he did do that progressive-shaving thing just to mystify people. But obviously he can only do it after he's had some time off from work in which to GROW the goatee.

I had never even considered that there was an alternate meaning to that line until I came here. Thanks, guys.
