World of Weird Al Yankovic

I guess it would have helped if Amanda understand the joke of the pun, or (as already pointed out) if she indicated that she actually recognized Al.

Indeed. Poor, dear, ungrateful Amanda was pretty clueless. I didn't watch the entire episode, did Al show up later, or just for his Polka?

Do we know when this was filmed?

Well, they started on September 27th.

Ak makes a good point. Al did get exposure on a pretty popular show. I will say I was happy to hear the designer say "Thanks for the inspiration" to Al after he was done playing the polka. hehe, he still played a few little notes while she said that. So, I know Ty and the design team were grateful to Al. It's a shame Amanda didn't know him.

Oh, and thanks for the screen caps, Ak!

Btw, Driew, you can't assume that the whole family aren't Al fans. We only know that Amanda doesn't like polka, and probably doesn't know who Al is. We never heard from the rest of the family.

Essentially the polka and "thanks for the inspiration!" was Al's appearance.

If I'm up to it later, I might be able to supply a video file.

It was disappointing that Amanda had the reaction he had (who here doesn't wish they had a tailor-made Al polka for thenselves?), but Al was great on the show as always so I was happy with it.

It would have been cool to see Al meeting the family at the end after the family saw their new house and everything. And footage of him goofing off and running around with Ty in that golf cart - hehe

I have a feeling Al didn't get to meet the family. But footage of him and Ty in the golf cart would be cool.

I've only watched Extreme Makeover twice -- the other time was when Elton John was on it. His appearance was a computer linkup too. Do the celebrity guests ever meet with the families?

Here's the polka:

I can rename the file if needed, but it worked for me.

hehe, I just listened to it, and laughed my butt off.

Well, there's a girl name Amanda, who lives in Wells, Maine.

She never has boys or shopping on her brain.

All she cares about is polka.

I just wan-na polka, so I'll stay right here

And polka, polka, polka, polka, polka 'til I die. Hey! *this part cracks me up every time*

Hope you like your new polka room, Amanda!

I laughed SO HARD at the girl's freaked out response at the end:

"What is polka?? Is that polka?"

"NO I DON'T LIKE--- OMIGOSH!"

"NO! THAT WAS NOT COOL!"

HAHA ahhhh man, that was funny.
