Mandatory Fun (Album 14) Speculation :3

[CharlesNelson]

This spoiler is so minor that I've been reluctant to post it, but here it is...

Spoiler:

A friend of a friend was involved with the marching band video. He refused to reveal the name of the song, but he did say that once the track listing is revealed, it will be immediately obvious from the title which song it is.

...which I assume means the title includes the word "march" or something similar.

Or maybe I've misinterpreted the clue, and this isn't a spoiler at all!

No spoiler is too small! I don't think you would have misinterpreted that. Thanks for letting us know!

No offense to your friend's friend, but... THAT'S THE WORST CLUE I'VE EVER HEARD!

Okay, okay my track list was obviously fake. I'm new to the site and just thought I'd keep up with the trends I'm just so excited to know what really is going to be on the album. Anybody think the originals I made up would be fun? (style wise not title wise)

I ironically just watched Frozen with my family before hopping back on here. I like "Love is an Open Sore"

[HiggyG]

Looks like Al is keeping the title as "Fancy" just like he did with "Whatever You Like"

Spoiler:

1. Fancy feat. Jack Black (Parody of Fancy by Iggy Azalea)
2. Please Put Out That Cigar (Style parody of Ramones)
3. Sore (Parody of Roar by Katy Perry)
4. My Favorite Restaurant (Style parody of Vampire Weekend)
5. The Independent Polka
6. Wishful Thinking (Style parody of The Flaming Lips)
7. Sexually Active (Parody of Radioactive by Imagine Dragons)
8. The Pizza Man Ripped Me Off (Style parody of Cage The Elephant)
9. Talk Nerdy feat. Andy Samberg (Parody of Talk Dirty by Jason Derulo feat. 2 Chainz)
10. Brand New Microwave (Style parody of Radiohead)
11. Garage Sale feat. Jay Pharoah and Kennan Thompson (Parody of Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke feat. T.I. and Pharrell)
12. Let The Games Begin (Style Parody of Twisted Sister)

Why do you think Al is a cast member on SNL?

Because I see him on SNL...in my dreams

I've been hoping that this eventual Superbowl/marching band song turns out to be heavily inspired by Fleetwood Mac's Tusk.

If that's the worst clue you've ever heard, you must be new here.

Interesting idea

OK folks. Got some news straight from Dr. Demento. He says he has a cameo in one of the videos on the new album. This video was shot in MC Lars' apartment. Dr. D. has not gotten a copy of the new album as of today. And the song for which he makes a cameo appearance in the video, he has only heard the 30 second (or so) portion of that song (just the snippet they were shooting with him in it). So Al is playing it pretty close to the vest, considering Dr. Demento hasn't even heard the whole song (and he's in the video!).

And for all you haters out there... Dr. Demento said this today at a Q & A session at Fumpfest in Chicago when someone asked him about it.

I'm going to guess that this is the same video shoot that bermuda mentioned was happening in March 2013 and was directed by one of Lars' friends. It's probably the shoot where Al was dressed as a farmer.

I have a feeling the actual tracklist will be known next week mainly because the Alpocalypse tracklist was revealed only a week after that release date was announced.

Speaking of which, rather than add my own silly fake tracklist to the pile I'd like to submit an educated guess on how the tracklist might be composed based only on information that has actually been revealed so far and observing how Al has organized previous albums.

I'm not going to use a spoiler tag because...well, I don't have anything TO spoil or trick you guys into thinking is real. Here goes...

1. Iggy Azalea Parody
2. Super Bowl Song
3. Parody #2
4. '90s band style parody
5. Best polka ever recorded
6. Song w/Marching Band Video
7. Parody #3
8. Album's Weakest Original
9. Parody #4
10. 6 minute song
11. Album's Weakest Parody
12. 9 minute song

Lars did mention along with the picture of him that he "happened to be on set." Must be because he lived on set xD
