Take Me Down is one of my favourite Al songs of all time. Great to sing along to.


There are lots of others I like but the sound quality is so poor on some that its kinda painful to listen to

They're almost entirely fan-circulated/bootlegs.

I have a five disk collection entitled "The Ultimate Collection" which has almost all of these rarities.

For those who want to listen, this YouTube channel has got a lot of pre-album songs, concert-only songs, and other miscellaneous rarities: http://www.youtube.com/user/WeirdAlMaster27" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Anyway, my favorites would have to be "It's Still Billy Joel to Me" and "Pac-Man". "School Cafeteria" isn't terribly funny, but I like the composition.

EDIT: joseyklein, would that channel happen to be connected to the disk set you were talking about?

I ended up finding a bunch of them after a few Google searches and the like.

Interesting.

Pac-Man still gets my vote.

Did you happen to find "Dead Car Battery Blues"? That's the only one I don't seem to have.

No. Not yet. Only thing I found was lyrics to it. Hard to come across that.

Pac-Man is of course really awesome and should have been on an album but my favorite of all these is definitely Belvedere Cruisin'.
