World of Weird Al Yankovic

I have the mag. That painting really does make him look 100! LOL

I like that this article was a mix of his best-known songs, fan favorites, and lesser known songs (and there's some I'm surprised he didn't talk about).

I noticed a few times he mentions things that happened "a couple of years ago" which actually happened more than just a couple of years ago, like when Coolio went to a meet-and-greet with Al (I think that happened in 2006) and his Behind the Music (which happened in 1999). At first when he made the comment about Behind the Music happening "a couple years ago", I wondered if he meant the remastered, updated version, but then what Al talks about there did happen in the original.

I knew Al worked in the mailroom for a radio syndicate, but I didn't know that he had to call various radio stations, who recognized him from the Another One Rides the Bus song.

Also interesting that Al was a fan of Nirvanna before they were big. So Al was already a Nirvanna fan before they were big, and when they made it Al was happy that he could do a parody. For awhile I've wondered if Al should parody some obscure songs/groups he likes in order to help them become popular... If he had done that before they made it then it might have been an early shot of success for Nirvanna (who have said that they knew they made it because Weird Al did a parody).

Picked up my copy... It was really a double-whammy with Al in the issue & ERB on the back of it But did anyone else see Al as Hitler towards the beginning of the magazine?

I wish he'd talked about "Good Enough For Now". It's speculated on the All Things Yankovic website (not too sure if this is a rumor outside of there) that the songs title was a reference to the album itself, having to only have 10 tracks (and being one of the few if not only originals to be the last song recorded for the album).

If only there was a way you could Ask him Anything tomorrow at 2pm EST
