Ooh, chords! Yay!

We should get chords for all of Weird Al's songs and then... put them on the wiki. Yeah.

Easier said than done. So far, we only have three- I did one, and Buff did two.

I was refering to SOL, but w/e. Cool, so maybe if you did one or two, and i did another one... it may take awhile, but we MAY be able to pull it off. Like I said before, easier said than done.

Does anyone know what the percussion-type instrument Al plays is on this song? I can't figure out what it's called despite my searches through all the percussion instruments on wikipedia. Someone told me it was a cowbell, but that's not right for sure. The reason i especially care is that this kid had one at our high school football game...and it was really cool. :ph34r:

The percussion instrument sounds like a vibraslap.

The CD credits call it that, and it's the thing Al's playing in the SOL m/o documentary.
Hmmm...something's gone horribly awry here...

What other songs do you have chords to from SOL?

Haven't read every post in this thread (yet :F ) but this song, to me, has a "classic Al" vibe going on. It reminds me of his stuff on Bad Hair Day, and it would fit right in. I love the guitar intro.
