I guess you right Patti. But from the looks of the picture, it's gonna have accordion.

Yeah, I was kinda leaning towards saying it probably will. Should've said "won't" instread of "can't" in my last post. As in, it doesn't mean this new song won't just because SLN didn't.

Yeah...

Ya. Anyone gonna put it up on YouTube? I'm sure that most of us would like to see it more then once, and the people who don't get to see it can see later.

I'm sure somebody will post it on Youtube at some point. Seems to happen a lot with various shows.

I'll probably miss it when it premieres, so it'll be great if someone uploads it to YouTube.
It won't be long before it's taken down, though....darn copyright claims.

I have a bad feeling that Al is just going to get a really small cameo in this episode.

Well, get that bad feeling out of your head!

I just don't want to be disappointed. If you look at the trend with previous guest stars, their parts have gotten smaller and smaller. Stephen Hawking was a large factor in the first episode he guest-starred in, but most recently he only had one line and randomly thrown in. I know Al is very different than him (and won't be randomly thrown in as we know he is a part of the plot), but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that we get more than just this:

Marge: Homer, you have a phone call.
Homer: Y'ello?
Al: Homer Simpson, this is Weird Al Yankovic.
Homer: Oh my God! I can't believe it's you!
Al: I was wondering if I could parody your new song?
Homer: Of course, anything for a polka master.
A scene or two later.
Homer listens to Al's parody/Al performs it on stage.

I'm sure we will though.

Stephen Colbert had a relatively big part in the season premiere this season. So hopefully Al does too, but I'm not holding my breath.
