QUOTE QUOTE I just hope people don't confuse his stuff with Al's........

Well maybe they'll stop saying "Windows 95 Sucks" is an Al song and it'll be a Joey Fatone song!
Yeah, I don't think so either.

I'm ranking every Beatles song on my new pop culture blog. Check it out!

Talk about a misleading headline! I'm no J.C. Chasez apologist but nowhere in THIS STORY did I read J.C. Chasez quoted as saying that Joey Fatone's "better than" (or whatever) Al. Very irresponsible job by the story's editor. "I HATE THAT!"
weird_el, that was a great link to an interesting story. Thanks for sharing that. I am a huge fan of Al's original songs. I prefer them, in fact, to the parodies, almost all the time.

That was a very good article! But I gotta take exception: Al has not turned himself into a giant hippy poodle. He's just as svelte as ever-- not hippy at all. Except in the Fat suit, of course.
My favorite bit has to be "...at least not intentionally."
The guy's right, though; it really is in the originals where all of Al's gifts shine, and it's in the originals where you can see with each album that he's continuing to grow & try new things.

Here're a couple I found earlier today:
http://www.plimsoul.com/knockoff_project/
Knockoff album covers website - Al shows up a few times (Gee, shocker!)
Al got first props/billing in a recent guest book entry at http://www.walthamtheband.com ~ read it HERE

Cool to have all Al's parody covers side by side with the originals... I don't know if I'd seen the Crash Test Dummies one before.
OK, I admit it, I took a look at the "sexy" page... no Al there, but at least the "Nevermind" parody cover that was labeled as "not remotely sexy" wasn't Al's, it was somebody else.
Seeing these made me realize that there's been a kind of evolution in Al's covers: first came wacky zany nutty everything-including-the-kitchen-sink covers (Weird Al Yankovic, In 3D, DTBS) then came the dead-on, carefully-done parody covers, and then, starting with Bad Hair Day, original covers with some really stylish art direction, some parody elements like Coolio's hair and Eminem's suit (probably), but basically they're Al's, not somebody else's. Hmmm... and his original songs keep getting stronger and stronger too.

OE, I could not agree more! Well, maybe I could... His originals on POODLE HAT are the best yet, I think. I'm obsessed with them, I do believe. Glad you liked that website link above, too. I didn't know if it'd been posted anywhere in the wayward WAY world.
