World of Weird Al Yankovic

Every 3 years as in the time between RWS and PH? I'm positive that the record label will be lenient on this issue due to the Atlantic Records controversy. Al had said that if SOL were released in June, as originally planned (which would give 2009 an album per a revised layout like above), 2006 would have a tour. Al's tour has had two legs dating back to Bad Hair. With White & Nerdy being his first top ten, I can't see at all how Zomba/Volcano would say no. With the all-time high (although without a Grammy) popularity level Al has hit, Zomba would favor an '08 leg as they do get a portion of proceeds from all of the shows.

...#14 (what a stupid number)! 

Very, very good call with 14. - Hilarious recall. I'm the type who doesn't use 'lol', so this will have to do:

Anybody remember what interview that was from?

Edit: Post 27

The Celine Dion one.

I think that he should go TMBG and make an MP3 album all about what HE wants to parody.

That's what he does (the parody part), except the MP3 parts is iTunes and CD.

I hope there is going to be another leg to the tour. I was kinda disapointed I only got to see him once and would have to wait a couple years to have another chance to see him. I also hope there will be a porody of one of Pink's songs and use Linkin Park: 'All I've done' in the polka melody.

What do you mean? After the Cyndi Lauper fiasco, I highly doubt that Al did/would take orders from anyone but himself when in comes to who and what he parodies....

Hey! I like that song.

Granted that the Cyndi Lauper parody was mandated, Al didn't want to do it because of the video and song already being funny and odd...

Even though I love "Headline News" I always wondered why Al felt the need to parody a song that was already bizarre.

Okay. Here it goes:

*five parodies: "Hairy Back", "IRS", "You Had A Bad Date", "Holodeck Girl", and one new parody
*five originals
*a polka medley which can be either a "High School Musical polka" or "Polkarama 2"

"Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm" was anything but bizarre. It was a VERY serious song about a VERY serious problem in the world.
