World of Weird Al Yankovic

A lot of people hear a parody and assume that it's by Al. That don't know that there are other comedy musicians in the world

I hereby dub you "Parody Queen Stephen."

Damn.. I should have caught that.

Thanks.

There was an Amish Paradise vid on Youtube that was titled "Omish Paradise"

Oy Vey. I get so tired of that!

That's so irritating! Not only for Al, but for the rest of the correct-grammar practicing world as well. It would be irritating for the Amish too, but...well, they'd have no way of knowing, would they.

I have a concert ad from 1996 that also misspelled it as "Omish Paradise." This is the same one that also billed Al as "Weird All." I'll have this and a number of other ads from various tours posted onto All Things Yankovic in the near future.

A misspelling on YouTube I can understand, but one would think someone being paid to promote a concert would take the time to make sure that the artist's name and their big hit at the time were spelled correctly...you know, as part of their job, right?

A friend mentioned a non-Al song to me today that I had never heard of before. It was called The Rabid Poodle That Ate My Pancakes. Has anyone else heard this song before/know who it's by?

That sounds like someone trying too hard to sound like Al...

That was my first thought upon hearing its title too.
