World of Weird Al Yankovic

To get off the topic of illegal debauchery...

Do you think there were any bands/artists that were approached about being parodied, but Al later re-thought it (ALA T. Pain) or any artists that were approached about being polka'd (ALA Nickelback)? Basically what I'm asking is if you think any mystery bands will appear in the credits...

We can only hope so since that would probably mean a new unreleased parody in the medley.

That would be a pretty sweet addition to the live shows!

I really, really think this is gonna be one of Al's best albums.

T Pain would have been awesome to parody, but you rarely hear of him nowadays, so I don't think it would have been too viable.

Really? Everyone I know is still obsessed with auto-tune and the T-Pain effect.

I wouldn't rule it out quite yet...it would be interesting to see, though...

You must know different people than me, then.

Best Buy also has this available for pre order.

Interesting note...their listing of all the songs in "Polka Face" includes "Tick Tock Polka" between "Break Your Heart" and "Tik Tok". I wonder why this had to be separated from "Whatever's Left Over Polka"?

Because it appears at a different part of the medley. Just like Liechtensteiner Polka. Al pays out for the polkas based on what percent of the medley it is, so it makes sense for Al to claim the interludes as his own original composition so that Ke$ha gets less overall.

Is it really the same thing, though? And why does he call it Tick Tock Polka instead of Tik Tok Polka?
