Is a video for this song out of the question?
I'd say... probably no video. Videos are expensive, and it would make more sense to do one to promote a whole album that was ready to drop. A one-off song, especially if Al's contract still has him getting paid less for iTunes sales than for CDs, probably wouldn't justify the cost.
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

I've been blog-browsing to see what's being said about WYL. I kinda like this moniker for Al: the OG beat jacker

What about "Headline News?

BTW, since I'm in to conspiracy theory's, do you think the reference to "Pork and Beans" and "Assitant Regional Manger" are references to Weezer and The Office respectively?

The OG Beat Jacker?

OG= Original Gangster. The veteran guys in the gang, admired by the young punks.

Beat Jacker: Hijacker (or appropriator) of the beats (the music).

Done to promote "Permanent Record: Al in the Box."

About your conspiracies I have no idea, but I wouldn't put any pop-culture reference past Al.
