World of Weird Al Yankovic

Here are some useless (?) stats:

How many songs from each album used in the MF tour set list:

Mandatory Fun - 8
Alpocalypse - 2
Straight Outta Lynwood - 2
Poodle Hat - 3
Running With Scissors - 2
Bad Hair Day - 2
Alapalooza - 1
Off The Deep End - 1
UHF - 0
Even Worse - 1
Polka Party! - 0
Dare To Be Stupid - 3
In 3D - 2
"Weird Al" Yankovic - 2

I'm happy with the bizarre new set list, but slightly sad to see Beverly Hillbillies go away. I remember a couple of years ago, Al mentioned something about wanting to bring back Like A Surgeon; looks like he found a way! The unplugged stuff has a lot of potential, even beyond parodies. I wonder if that stuff will rotate at all!

Yeah I am very sad to see nothing from UHF. I figured they would be taking it out this time round but they could have gave us something from UHF. This is only my opinion 'cause I love that album thoroughly. But, seeing Dare To Be Stupid live is still something I have to accomplish so I'm totally happy with that, they better not remove that or make that the alternate song. I just noticed the three shows I am going to have two shows in between so if there are alternate songs I would probably see the same ones three times. That would be lame.

I'll be honest, when he broke into "Let Me Be Your Hog" back in 2010, I FLIPPED. A buddy of mine is a huge fan but even he didn't have the soundtrack or even recalled it from the film.

Fun Zone is from the UHF soundtrack, so it's represented. And the end of the show references the end of the LWAH video, so one could argue that every album is represented, though the last one is pushing it I'll admit

New shirt at last nights show!

That is a sweet shirt! Yeah, Fun Zone is always played but not actually played LIVE. I've always thought they should actually open the show by playing Fun Zone, that would be awesome. I don't think just putting it on to signal the start of the show really qualifies, although yeah, you get to say, "hey, that's from UHF". Looking at the medley, Hillbillies would have worked great with the selection of songs they chose. With that they seem to go back and fourth with that track every album tour. They should have just done Hernia with the band introductions and the very short Hillbillies to begin the medley and bam, every album covered! Not complaining, I like the set and hope it stays the way it is, but in a perfect world.

If you count videos, he also plays "Gandii II" which is UHF, and "Sports Song" which is Mandatory Fun. Also, lots of of non-Al-album stuff, like "Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built for Two)", "Hey, Hey, We're The Monks", and "Homer And Marge". Also, a bunch of unreleased stuff like Epic Rap Battle, the My Little Pony song, the song where the bald guy yells at him to play the accordion better, the Japanese version of "Eat It", and of course "Cell Phones" (also live).
