Drooling Over Album 13

I think W-ierd Al Yankovic-h did a parody of that one

Seriously though, I think it would have been outdated even on Poodle Hat.

Is there an Elvis Costello style parody I dont know about, or are you referring to "Radio, Radio"? Ill add to the list The Sparks and the never parodied but often cited fave, The Tubes. Anyway, more songs in that vein would be great.

Maybe it's my inner Alice Cooper fan talking...but how cool would it be to have a Alice Cooper polka medley on the new album? They are good friends anyway...so why not?

Ya know, I've always wondered how long before an album Al writes his original songs. I mean, I have heard before that sometimes on tour, he starts writing some of the songs for his next albums, but I wonder how many original songs Al has fully written already and ready for this next album (or maybe even the one after that!)

I think he does start getting ideas for songs on tour, but might not actually sit down to write them until the tour is done, so he can concentrate some. That's probably mostly just the original songs though.

The parodies, he may start getting ideas for when he actually starts hitting the studio, so they're fresh and of hot songs that people would know. That way the parody's not too outdated.

I'm not saying he does it that way, but it makes the most sense to me.

That's not a real Al song.

At the end of Al's tour this year he should re record headline news with all the new current news that he's used in his concerts this year? I know he has paris hilton and Britney spears but he has to come up with more. What about Lindsay Lohan or the Michael Vick news story?

I really don't want another "Headline News" song. The 'original' was just so good, I really don't think it'd be worth it to release a 'remix' one.
