I can just as easily speculate about the next album now as I could in a year or so. I speculate that there will be a TV or Movie song on the next album based on the fact that there wasn't one on this release. See?

he DID do a t.v. song 4 the album, it just didnt make it on
so he uses it 4 the tour instead

That wasn't known until the tour started months later.

no, it was also known when the album came out, if you read the "Special Thanks" is says "T-Pain", u couldve figured it out by yourself, but still, i agree with you Dingo

Did you gather from the Al thanking T-Pain that he wrote a song called "I'm In Love With The Skipper"? I know that it was fairly obvious the parody would be based of Stripper, but could he have been thanking T-Pain for allowing him to use it in the polka, and it just didn't make it?

uhhhh, ya

he couldve, but the other option wouldve been...
a parody

so either way, maybe he WAS thinking of putting it into the polka, but just parodied it instead?

we will never know

Actually, we do know:

Howard & Cindy Wilson of Hamilton, Ontario asks: On the back page of the CD insert, you mention Nickelback in the credits. Can we ask what inspiration they provided you with? P.S. We ourselves are not beer-swilling hockey nuts, but we do know several, eh.

Nickelback was nice enough to give their permission for me to use their song "Photograph" in the latest polka medley. I typically get clearances for the songs in the medley before I actually arrange it... and when I was putting "Polkarama!" together, I just couldn't find a way to incorporate the Nickelback song into it where it didn't sound wedged in or tacked on - so unfortunately I had to leave it off. You may notice that I also mentioned T Pain in the "special thanks" - similarly, he had given his blessing for me to do a parody of one of his songs. At the last minute, I decided against recording the song for the album, but if you come to one of my live shows this summer, you may hear a snippet of it somewhere in the medley...

Since he has permission to do that song, he should just record it and either put it up for free on weirdal.com or release it as a single on iTunes.
