Re: [spoiler][lyrics] First World Problems
I'm not really sold on this song so far. Just as when "CNR" came out I went all "huh? This just a bunch of Chuck Norris jokes!", with First World Problems I feel like I should be able to search for the meme and find all these jokes. Also, not as funny without the stock image of the crying lady

Re: [spoiler][lyrics] First World Problems
Has Al done a song in the style of Pixies before, or am I thinking of another band?

Re: [spoiler][lyrics] First World Problems
Al has sung actual Pixies song with Pixies (and did really good job on that) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmVLb1qvcXc&feature=kp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;Noodles wrote:Has Al done a song in the style of Pixies before, or am I thinking of another band?

Re: First World Problems
Not only it's super funny, and brings us stylistically a while back in the Bad Hair days, an Al I personally miss; but it's hilarious how Al mocks the bad punk band sound!! I mean, for a guy that mimicried Pharell and Zappa, it's another step behind!
Cool!

Re: First World Problems
I'm not sure if this has already been announced, but Amanda Palmer just confirmed on Facebook that there will be a music video for this song.

Sweet! (I hope she's not in it though)
So we now know five of the remaining videos: Sports Song, Lame Claim to Fame, First World Problems, Handy, and Foil. Just one more mystery video hanging out there. I'm guessing "My Own Eyes" or "Mission Statement."

I'm going to wish on everything he does the Polka! But I don't think we will be that lucky.Bruce the Duck wrote:Sweet! (I hope she's not in it though)

I'd pick My Own Eyes otherwise and do it dressed as the Foo Fighters.
Always and forever a Weird Al fan.

Re: First World Problems
That would be great! They were known for really amazing videos back in the 90s, so I'd love this. But I have a feeling this will be animated.WeirdFetter wrote: I'd pick My Own Eyes otherwise and do it dressed as the Foo Fighters.
As for the polka, Bermuda said there will be the same number of parody and original videos. We already know the 4 parodies, so the polka doesn't count in there, and it's certainly not an original, so sorry! Maybe he'll do one down the road like last time.

Re: First World Problems
Well Liam Lynch is thanked in the liner notes, so I wonder if he directed this video, since it would be pretty fitting since he also wrote a "Fake Pixies Song".
