Re: The Weird Al Radio Game
Last week on 97.3 KBCO, I heard "Semi Charmed Life" by Third Eye Blind (see "Polka Power") and "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons back to back.
Life is a bowl of three-legged salamanders swimming around in an infinite ocean of strawberry jello...

Re: The Weird Al Radio Game
"I Live In America" and "Smells Like Teen Spirit" were on Absolute 80's and the flagship Absolute Radio stations respectively today. I dunno if any others were on... I was only listening to the two stations during a thunderstorm to block it out (Because CRAP, here in Scotland those things are scary!)Muldernscully wrote:I play this silly game from time to time in my car when a Weird Al parody original comes on. I try to see how many consecutive Weird Al parodies I can listen to. Unfortunately, it usually doesn't last too long. I think I usually max out at 2 songs. Today, however, I had a bit of luck. I was listening to 'More than Words' by Extreme which is the obvious inspiration to 'YDLMA'. After it ended, I changed the channel and hit 'I Love Rock 'n Roll, then Royals by Lorde, followed by TLC's 'Waterfalls'. Finally, I heard 'Need You Now' by Lady Antebellum which is on his Polka Face medley. So, expanding the game to songs connected to Weird Al by being style inspirations or in his polka medleys, I hit 5 songs in a row.
Have any of you ever played anything like this? If so, how many consecutive Weird Al-connected songs did you get?

Re: The Weird Al Radio Game
"Livin' In America"? I hear many songs Al has done on the radio on a day to day basis. Today I heard "Another One Bites The Dust" and "Under The Bridge" back to back.
What a racket they're makin', Jack, they keep me up at night playin' their electric guitars!!

Re: The Weird Al Radio Game
Is "Black Dog" acceptable for this game?

Re: The Weird Al Radio Game
I was actually at a karaoke event with several Al songs in the catalogue. I chose "The Saga Begins." The lyrics onscreen and the music were off by like half a beat, so that distracted me a little. And I was pretty drunk too. But by the time I got to the first chorus, everyone was dancing and singing along. It was beautiful.mellow weasel wrote:I sometimes wish I had friends that do karaoke parties just so I can do this. Since Al only use popular songs for parodies, they must be in any standard karaoke catalogue.WeirdDana27 wrote: I did, however, attend a friend's birthday party where we did karaoke, and since the catalogue had no Al songs in it, I'd submit requests for the original versions and sing Al's words; I ended up doing "I Lost on Jeopardy," "Headline News," "Smells Like Nirvana," and a few others!

Re: The Weird Al Radio Game
Don't you love when that happens? I find that if there's enough of a crowd, "Tacky" gets the best response ![:) :)](./images/smilies/smile.gif)
