I don't know if I would count "Transformers," since Al didn't really write the song for that movie.



So excluding that, hoo boy....slim pickin's here.



I would say "Johnny Dangerously" is only slightly less annoying than the other movies.



Now, if I was picking my favorite of the actual songs (again, excluding DTBS), I would probably say "This Is The Life." "Spy Hard" comes a close second, but only because it takes a little while for the song to get going with any real humor.

Well, I never saw any of those movies except for the Polkémon one and the first long while of Jonnu Dangeruosly (witch I turned off when I finally realized that the theme song was as much Al as I was going to get). I think I would have to say Jonny Dangeruosly. But song-wise...DTBE or This is the Life.

Johnny Dangerously was a pretty good movie, then again i just love Joe Piscopo (anyone see Sidekicks?), and of course Spy Hard was good, you gotta love Leslie Nielsen. I guess out of those two, I'd have to go with Spy Hard.

Spy Hard is definitely my favorite of those films. The theme song and accompanying video was awesome. I especially love "By the way, if you walked in late, allow me to re-i-ter-ate... (etc.) I never liked the Transformers, and how they even relate to DTBS I can't understand.



Pokemon 2000 was okay (I actually was a fan of the Pokemon series for awhile) and what I liked best about it is it reminded me how great it is that Al's music really is for all ages and not necessarily targeted to a specific segment of the population.



Regrettably, I've never seen Johnny Dangerously, (lost immediate interest upon hearing that This is the Life was cut from the video version) but if the rumors of an upcoming DVD with Al's part intact are true, I'll definitely watch it to see if it can hold it's own without his song.



Safety Patrol is another one I haven't seen, but plan on seeing having recently learned of The Ballad of Kent Marlow. And you say Gump is in there too? Cool!

Hmmm.... Of these, I have seen all but Pokemon and Johnny Dangerously. I've only seen bits and peices of the Transformers movie (someone in my animation class two years ago brought it in and played it as we were working- when DTBS came on, I immediaely perked up and started singing along! Lots of strange looks, but hey, it's AL! :D VERY nice surprise!).



Safety Patrol was pretty good, as was Spy Hard. Though, if I had to pick one... I think I'll go with... Spy Hard. But, both movies feature Leslie Neilsen, so it's all good!



Yeah.

Really!? That's almost exactly how I found out DTBS was in Transformers, too! In my art class in high school someone brought that in. I didn't really pay much attention in class I was just drawing little cubes then I hear a certain tune that sent the sound waves through my ears, sending electrical energy into my brain which sends some more electrical energy into my left arm, my neck, and mouth to make my head jerk up, point at the screen and say IT'S AL!!!!!!!!



What was I talking about again?

I'm gonna have to go with Spy Hard as well. Love the video, but watching it with the credits is the best! I do like This is the Life, too. And the Johnny Dangerously dvd does have Al's song, so it should be good! And I liked that movie because Michael Keaton was in it!



Patti

loves her two Spy Hard cd singles, because they came from Al!
