I Want Your Questions for Al

[Teh Dingo]

Why do you continue to insist Skipper Dan is Weezer when it's clearly Fountains of Wayne?

[TMBJon]

Are there any artists you would love to pay tribute to with a style parody, but their style just doesn't seem compatible with comedic lyrics?

Who are some of the classic rock artists you would like to parody some day?

What led to your decision to switch representation over to William Morris Endeavor and what changes might we expect to see from this move?

Regarding the concert medley, how do you decide which songs to revive and why have you tended toward fewer concert-only songs over the last few tours? Will we get any new concert only songs on your upcoming tour?

Which songs of your recorded and released catalog would you say are your absolute worst?

[Big Spoon]

How do you decide which animators get which songs for the animated videos? For example, how did you decide Bill Plympton would get TMZ over Jib Jab?

[crazygurl14]

Do you think you will continue to do animated videos on the next album?...

When you release an album do you watch how it charts on pkaces like itunes each day as some of us fans did or do you try not to think about it until the official numbers come out the next week?

[TMBJon]

crazygurl14 has a great question and I would rephrase it like this:

There has been a mixed reaction among your fans to the recent trend of animating nearly every track on your albums. Do you anticipate continuing this trend, or is there any chance you will revert back to the previous model of two "main" live action videos on each album?

Here's another question:
Based on the response you've seen to the Internet Leaks, do you anticipate trying this experiment again for your next album? Is there anything about this early release process you would change for next time?

Thanks, Emily. It's awesome that you get to interview him. Good luck!!!

[crazygurl14]

What area of the entertainment business would you like to venture into that you have not yet been able to do?

I think i have heard you mention that you would like to someday do Broadway, what show would you like to be in?


Wow i keep thinking of questions, just like i did for that Box Rhapsody box interview thing. But since there proabably is more than 3 questions this time maybe one of mine will get asked

[anthontherun]

Hope you see this in time! Definitely second the Internet Leaks question.

Also, for the many fans who would love to see an official CD release of rarities, how about issuing those as a stopgap in between albums?

I don't think there's any question that Al's vocals and songwriting have improved dramatically over the years--is there any chance of a serious Al Yankovic music release? I truly think he could pull it off.

Feel free to ask him what the scoop is with "Crazy Cow Therapist" too and when he'll finally get around to releasing it

[KnottyEmily]

Crazy Cow Therapist?

[anthontherun]

It's a song title he may or may not recognize but he's referenced it on more than one occasion.

[KnottyEmily]

Thanks for all of the awesome questions!
