Oh boy! I was looking through a friends ipod and I saw that they had Weird Al in their music selection and I was shocked. I thought "how cool!" Then I had to do a double take and it was spelled Weird Al Yancovich!! I gringed! I had to come on this forum to tell about it.

That happens with me quite often. I kind of lecture the poor people. They're like, "Oh.. okay..okay.."

I was looking up Al in stories on the death of Michael Jackson, and guess how someone misspelled his name this time!

"My favorite song is "Eat It" by Weird Al Yankowich, which never would have come about without the influence of Jackson."

I've heard 'Weird Al', 'Wired Al', 'Yank-o-vich', and 'Jankovich' but seriously, YankoWICH?!? You couldn't have looked up his name?!?! And I found an article from a legitimate newspaper spelling his name 'Yank-o-vich', talking about his Twitter page. His Twitter name is alYANKOVIC!!!

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
