"Yankovic Radio" idea

Post by BIGAlfan2711 »

One time, i was in my car with my mom and my 7 year-old brother, Jakob. the radio was on (of course) then, it came to me: since Dr. Demento canceled some years ago (bummer ;( ) why not there be an Al radio station?" I've already got everything (well, kinda everything) planned out. the songs, the name, I even plan of making a documentary about it (called "How the Yankovic Stole the Radio" [name parody of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas"]). I'm planning on being the DJ, but then I'll flunk in school. who knows? maybe Al'll be DJ HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! :lol: well, ya know. maybe. anyway, it wont just play Al songs, it'll also play Michael Jackson, Beastie Boys, Madonna--detecting a pattern? well, what i'm tryin to say is that it's going to play songs Al parodied, style parodied (well, artists for that one), and polkafied. for style parodied, you can just choose any song sung by the artist Al style parodied. you can even choose unreleased songs (gee, i'm a nerd; pacman; you're pitiful; chicken pot pie; etc)!!!!!! and, i'm thinking of the number being 1-800-270-2727. but that number might be taken. yes, Al will be on the shows every once and a while. so, share me your thoughts here... :)
Al's working on Album #14 RIGHT NOW (kinda)!!!!

A radio station the frequently plays Al songs and other music related to him, with the ability to request songs once in a while?

It'll never catch on.

Well there's GBS-FM, the Something Awful Internet radio station. You can't view the site unless you have a SomethingAwful account, but you can hear the stream: http://gbs.fm:8080/listen.pls" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It's a site where anybody can upload any song, and add any song to the playlist. Bursts of Weird Al appear quite often on there.

I think you're a tad overly ambitious BIGAlfan. Didn't you say you were going to make an album medley (that you never made), then a Nirvana polka (also currently inexistent), and now a whole entire radio station devoted to Al? Hmmm...
