Pitbull? Come on

Why is it taking so long for Weird Al to be inducted? This one should be easy!

Apparently, what he needs to do is write a song for Kelly Clarkson.

I'm seriously thinking we should submit Al under the "Live Performance" category next year. Or maybe television. Music is just blowing him off.

I know we just missed the deadline for this coming year, but I feel that we have a much better shot now that Al has gotten the #1 spot on the charts.

Hell yeah. Timing sucked for this year, as we had to have all paperwork in before he even went to Iggy, so the best we could say was something along the lines of he's working on a new album and one song away from finishing it and it's coming out sometime... eventually. Here, have a bobblehead.

I'm calling it, 2015 is the year....

Honestly, if he doesn't get it after the year he had, something is seriously messed up here.

If he doesn't get it after the year he's had, I agree, something is seriously messed up ("something" probably being an incurable Mr. or Ms. Crankypants in charge of the recording-artist picks for the committee) and I say at that point we go to plan B and submit Al in the category of Live Performance.
