That would be the BEST

I would levitate out of my seat if Al did "Nature Trail To Hell".

TBBOTIM would be apropos for me this tour. I'm going to a convention in August in Minneapolis. I checked Yahoo Maps and discovered Darwin is just 60 miles west, so ROAD TRIP!!! Twineball or Bust!

Alas, the Spam museum is too far south of the city for the limited amount of time I have on this trip.

I'm guessing that You're Pitiful will be played. Most likely the whole song, unlike other non-album songs. But that's just my guess.

I don't know if I have the power to levitate (could someone teach me that, it could really come in handy ), but since that is probably my favorite song of his, I would love to hear that one also. I always figured that song would have been a perfect encore song for shows around halloween. Another song that could fit into a halloweeen themed encore could be Slime Creatures from Outer Space. I think that the problem with these two selections would be that he generally likes to end the shows with more well known songs. And the last few times I have seen him he did The Saga Begins into Yoda as the encore.

Another song I wouldn't mind hearing is Generic Blues. I can't remember in the concerts I have been to if he has played that one.

I'd always love to hear Attack of the Radioactive Hamsters From a Planet Somewhere Near Mars.

Nan, you surely must be planning a visit to the Mecca of Albino Squirrels, no?

I know this would be considered a huge change-up in how Al does things and what is likely to ever occur, but I just thought I'd throw it out there.
What if Al changed his encore to Albuquerque? He's been doing Yoda for a while now. It would be a very entertaining thing to see performed live and each night Al might do a slightly different variation on some of the spoken-word segments.

*swoon*

That would be great for us, but it would be torture for Al. Just look at the Ask Al's.

As great as that would be, I'm guessing it won't. With how much Al cracks his voice through-out the song, it might be hard for him to sing in concert. But after saying that, I hope he plays it.

I would think that if at one point YP was to be the lead parody he likely was planning on including the song in the set list. It would seem hard to sing though. Perhaps near the beginning of the set list be easier? Regardless it would be cool if it included during his next tour.
