Frank's polka makes the most sense as it it obviously that exact composition.

I think this marks the first time Al has covered/referenced Frankie Yankovic's music, other than their "Who Stole The Kishka?" duet.

I'm still a geek on the inside, that's the important thing.

I'm starting to notice a pattern with the videos here. The same animators he used for SOL are doing the opposite type of song they did on the previous album. JibJab did a parody on SOL and an original for this album. Bill Plympton did an original for SOL and is confirmed to be doing a parody for this album. Do you guys think he got any more of the same animators from SOL for this album? I could see John K. doing "Another Tattoo" or Thomas Lee doing "Party In The CIA".

I feel like if John K was doing a video, we would have heard about it by now because he'd be showing off his impressive character designs on his blog. I also wouldn't rule out the Doogtoons guy from doing a video though.

Actually I'm a bit surprised that aside from Bill Plympton, we haven't heard any word of who is doing the other videos. With Lynwood, we knew pretty early in advance that there would be videos by John K, Bill Plympton, and the folks at Robot Chicken and what their respective songs would be. We also knew that Thomas Lee was working on something while I can't remember how far in advance we knew about David Lovelace's video. I do recall the Pancreas video being one of the last things for any of us to know about.

On the other hand, I can barely recall how much we knew about the Internet Leaks videos in advance.

I don't know if any of these animators are new to anybody, but the 'Biographies' page at WeirdAl.com has just been updated with a whole list of them. http://www.weirdal.com/bio.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

After Googling all of their names, they all look really interesting. Koos Dekker seems to focus on videos where he plays with typography. Should be interesting. I just hope it doesn't feel too half-assed.

Also, looks like other than Craigslist, all the videos will be animated (unless one of the other directors goes in a different direction with their video).

Perform This Way should also be live action, but you probably already knew that. Does anyone know who the director of that video will be?

The Bio page also shows that Al has no reservations about the names of his unreleased songs being out there. Does that mean we can talk about them in open forums now, or do we still risk spoiling the album?
How old was that last signature? I mean, really?
