What did you Ask Al?

He who's tired of Weird Al is tired of life.

I think Cat's on to something about the leather in Hummers.

As long as he wasn't eating the leather, he's fine.

If I can recall myself , but I'm not sure anymore :unsure:

It was : What or which question would you ask yourself in Ask Al? :F

Yeah, I'm pretty sure his going vegan was more of a health thing than an animal rights thing.

Man am I blind. Never mind. Old post.

Mmmm.... car interior... *drool*

I guess I'd like to know if he plays any video games.

Yes. I think you're right.
Oh by the way, I've cracked the code.

Yeah, he's pretty darn healthy. Looks amazing for his age and when people see the photos I have from concerts, they can't believe because the last time they saw Weird Al, it had been from his 80's look.

I'd like to "Ask Al" if he runs into people who don't recognize him at all. (of course, it's hard to miss his super cool hair)

~Dana~
That may have been his biggest solo hit, but I think "Yankee Rose" would be a better song for Al to perform--especially if he was to use his accordion. The opener to that song had DLR having a conversation with Steve Vai's guitar, and that would be wicked funny if DLR had that conversation with Al's accordion!

As for a video, the convenience store opening with Al would be funny. "Gimme a bottle of soy milk. And some broccoli. To go!" :lol:

I just did my first "Ask Al". My question was: Is there any film where you just knew you could have written the perfect theme song for and wish they had asked you?

my goodness...I've asked Al SO MANY questions on the Mothership that I don't know if I can remember! But here are some off the top of my head (btw, I usually always start my questions with 'Hey Al!'):

Probably one of my first questions:
>Hey Al! Just bought your Greatest Hits Vo. 1 (i'm so stupid, I shudda bought it years ago!) and I was just wondering, did you shoot the cover shot the same day you shot that deleted scene from UHF where you're banging on the window at Teri's receptionist, because it looks like the exact same outfit, and it was taken around the same of the shooting or UHF. Thanks!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>Hey Al! In both parody segments of the "Bedrock Anthem" video, was that your real hair in either part?
>Hey Al! I know you can't/don't/won't take ideas from fans about parodies, but what about ideas for originals?
>Hey Al! If someone were to ever make a movie about your life, would you like to act as yourself in it, or would you want someone else to play you? If so, who would you want?
>Hey Al! How do you get a hold of the ASK AL questions so you can answer them?
>Hey Al! Do you think you'll ever take Nina to the Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota?
>Hey Al! Do you think "It's All About the Pentiums" will be another concert keeper like "Smells Like Nirvana" and "Fat"?
>Hey Al! In the "Strip Solitaire" in UHF, is the guy playing supposed to be a Saddam Huissein look-alike?
>Hey Al! Just wondering, how did the famous line "Steve Jay--what a guy!" become so popular with your bass player?
>Hey Al! What's the strangest thing a fan has thrown to/at you while you were onstage?
>Hey Al! Because a strict vegetarian and try to avoid dairy products, does that mean you can't have the cream filling in Twinkies or the frosting in Oreos?
>Hey Al! At any point in your career, have you ever had a paparazzi?
>Hey Al! Just out of curiosity, what makes your Fat suit, well, fat? Inflatable, perhaps?
>Hey Al! Why weren't you on the Grammy Nominees 2004 CD? I thought you won that year.
>Hey Al! I notice in your "Smells Like Nirvana" video that you had on a very nice, long blonde Cobain wig, but when you do SLN in concert the wig is much smaller and almots looks combed. What ever happened to the first wig?
>Hey Al! Hey Al! Has a (crazed) fan ever actually found your home address and sent you stuff, or maybe even come to your house?
>Hey Al! Do you purposefully putyour songs in an alternating pattern from parody to original on your albums or it is just an ironic coinsidence?
>Hey Al! Why were you given the key to Wausau, Wisconsin?

One of my more insightful ones :
>Hey Al! If you had gotten married and had a family 10, 15, maybe even 20 years ago, how do you think your life/career would be any different?

I know there's probably at least 127 more that I haven't listed, but they're probably really stupid. :lookaround: :lame:
