World of Weird Al Yankovic

Do you take notes during the show, then? On tech stuff?

I was hoping you'd say that they're not as seizure inducing.

I also noticed from recent videos of the song that there are no longer clips from the music video, and instead soundwave visuals.

Another thing that I thought I might mention is during FWP, he usually was lip syncing the "latte" in "My barista didn't even bother to make a design in the foam on the top of my banana latte" but as of recently, they stopped using that backing track, and he sings it live, although he still does mime the "Amazon" from the free shipping line.

Good eyes, and good ears! I never caught that.

I was informed he didn't use any backing on anything? Except for the gargling in Smells like Nirvana, and obviously, the parts he doesn't sing, like that one small section in Word Crimes.

Well, you were informed wrong. Nothing wrong with using backing vocals/instruments. All artists do it! Also, there is no part in Word Crimes that he doesn't sing. Let me try and do a full run down of everything pre-recorded in the current set.

Tacky (Backing Vocals in Chorus, Falsetto parts in the Chorus)
Lame Claim to Fame (None)
Now That's What I Call Polka (Brass Instruments/Whistles, Some vocals during the end of Get Lucky)
Perform This Way (A lot of instrumental, and the backing vocals during all choruses)
Dare To Be Stupid (Possibly some keyboard playing, a couple sound effects not controlled by Bermuda)
Fat (All snare hits, the "cha" that always play, sound effects)
First World Problems (Amanda Palmers vocals, "Amazon", and the breathing at the end)
Foil (Backing vocals during chorus)
Smells Like Nirvana (Gargling, animal noises, tuba)

Medley:
Party in the CIA (Very light backing vocals)
Pentiums (Woman saying "It's All About The Pentiums, Baby")
Handy (Chorus)
Bedrock Anthem (None)
Another One Rides the Bus (None)
Ode to a Superhero (None)
Gump (None)
Inactive (Some drum sounds, chorus backing vocals)
eBay (None)
Canadian Idiot (None)

Wanna B Ur Lovr (Backing Vocals)
Acoustic Medley (None)
White and Nerdy (Instrumental aside from Rubens piano parts, and Jon's drum parts)
Word Crimes (Drum Programming, Backing Vocals)
Amish Paradise (Choir during Chorus)
Cell Phones (None)
The Saga Begins (None)
Yoda (None)

Someone correct me if I missed anything or got anything wrong...preferably Bermuda Kidding, kidding....

I meant lip syncing backing tracks. The part that says "a contraction is the ommision fo a sound or letter" or whatever, he stops and points at the screen. So he ain't singing that! :p

Well, yeah...

I dont think the cha during Fat is prerecorded. It's just part of the song
