World of Weird Al Yankovic

BOY I DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING!! I TOTALLY WASN'T EXPECTING THAT!!

I didn't bother reading the last couple pages of this thread now that the lyrics are known. Definitely want to hear this one fresh seeing as it will be out in a matter of hours. Hope it lives up to its potential!

In a matter of hours? The AOL World premiere of the video is not until tomorrow, or am I missing something?

Even Tuesday is only 48 hours away. Not even.

A matter of hours is a much shorter amount of time in my book. Anyway, I'll be looking out for the video on AOL tomorrow.

Well we shared a quick glance
Saturday at the mall
I never took a chance
Never approached you at all

I was right!
Yay!
I am victorious!

And we get a live action video!
I'm assuming that there will be only one set/place in the video. Or does Liam Lynch have a huge garage?

I read the first five lines of lyrics only.
Was this video shot in HD too?

It’s a live-action video – my first since “White & Nerdy.”  But lower your expectations – “White & Nerdy” had a huge budget, and “Craigslist” had a miniscule one.  We shot it in Liam’s garage.  I’m not even kidding.  As it turns out, though, the “low budget” vibe happens to dovetail well with the concept of the video, so don’t worry, it all works out fine.

Jace, when I suggested it could be a live-action video this is what I had in mind...

This was before I learned that the new song had been leaked and Al's post on Myspace, but last night I had a dream where it was Tuesday and Al's new song was released but it wasn't Craigslist. Craigslist was to be released at a later date. Instead it was a song about dancing done in the style of the group Chromeo.

What were the lyrics?
COME ON! WE MUST KNOW!!!

"I keep having these strange dreams, Doctor. They keep happening and telling me strange things"

"they are only dreams, just tell of them"

"An archangel whispered in my ear the location of the golden tickets for a album of Chromeo style parodies"

"Tell me where it is"

"But Doctor, this was a dream. a fantasy"

"Shut up and tell me where that Golden Ticket is!"

loosely paraphrased, would fix with imdb.com quotes...but lazy.


Edit: to avoid double posting.

So I've heard the song.
I'm really enjoying the whole instrumental arrangements and vocals.

I want to tell you whether its a list song or not and what the nature of the lyrics are without actually ruining any jokes....but to play it safe, I'll still put spoiler tags.
SPOILER No it is not a list song or even an eBay II. Each section of the song is a funny unique take on different aspects of Craigslist absurdity. You can breathe, now.
