Cool! Nice find, Helen!
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

GREAT song and video. Have always been a fan of Fountains of Wayne, as well...so I definitely agree with some of the similarities. Also, the similarities between TMBG.

Loved the transition at the beginning of the song to being a tour guide on the Jungle Cruise ride, especially after that was what we speculated it would be about. Really showcased, once again, how much talent Al has a singer and the guys do for the excellent music.

Definitely my favorite song off the new album...

So yeah, after one listen...this is his best original since "Albuquerque." Melodically, it may be the catchiest thing he's ever composed. Loved it.

Definitely has that FOW sound.

I wasnt sure on it at first, but once the funny kicked in I loved it. The music all the way through is great. I wont say it's my favorite because it's still new, but I think it will end up being up there.

Thisis easily the best of the IL's so far. Great work by writing and vocal work by Al, and the instrumentals are better than craigslist, IMO.

Many repeat plays for me.

Not about the song, exactly, but I took a look at the comments to the video at MySpace. It seems all the more amazing how patient and nice to people Al is when you consider the idiocy and mean-spiritedness of some of those comments. :angry:
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

Love the song, adore the video. Destined to be one of my favorites.

I first rode the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland as a four year old (yes, way back in the 60s) and again last year when I took my daughter to Disneyland for the first time. I don't believe it changed one bit!

Wonder if Ludo wants to visit Disneyland while she's in California :)
