oh, okay.

I dont think any famous person should blame Al either.

Everyone's career has a timeframe, some people just don't understand that. They think they'll be popular forever and when they're not, they think that something must be wrong.

I don't believe there is a curse--there are plenty of one-hit wonders from the 80s who Al has NOT parodied who nobody remembers anymore.

Yeah, like...um...well, I can't remember any right now

And if you've ever tried to collect every song that Al has parodied by buying 80s compilation albums (as I have...yes, I actually have EVERY single song Al has parodied!) you'd know just how true that statement is.

I know what you mean--I'm buying a ton of songs he parodied at iTunes. They have a lot of them, but they're missing some. Does anyone know where I can find "Ruthless People"? Has anyone even heard the original???

Well, the only place I've ever heard that song is when the movie came on tv. Mick Jagger sings the original. It's nothing to write home about. The movie stars Bette Midler and Danny DeVito, btw.
