World of Weird Al Yankovic

IMO Al picks the right rap stuff to parody so I have liked them regardless of how I feel about rap in general.

Great polka TSB, but I think you need to trim that down to like 12 songs. Most of Al's polkas have around eleven or twelve songs. So maybe lose "Party Like a Rockstar", "Love Song", "4 Minutes", "Circus" and "Hey There Delilah" and you've got a real possibility. I mean, they would all sound good polka-fied, but that is too many songs.

Also, I think a Beatles only polka would be amazing! That or a *cough*AliceCooper*cough* polka...but, I'm just sayin'...

In my opinion, Al should either write another acoustic ballad, style parody of Bob Dylan or CAKE, or stick to polka.

AP was awesome, but Ill agree with you about WAN. I loved it when it came out, but it was new so it was the best. But most of the stuff in there isnt very white or nerdy. THough it got Al back in the spotlight, so you gotta love it.

And Al did say he likes rap because there are so many words to work with, so you're probably gonna be stuck for a while.

Maybe you're just so unbelievably white and nerdy you don't realize that things you consider normal are actually very white and nerdy.

But yeah, I'm a little sick of rap parodies (and rap in all) myself. The only one I prefer is the Awkward Rap at CollegeHumor. The fact is, songs just can't be songs without the music. Then they are just ridiculously upbeat poems.

While I am a little sick of rap parodies, I'm not gonna be upset if there's more than WYL on album 12, and if WYL is the only one, I won't cry.

Sorry, but I stand by my original statement: It's Al. I don't put any value on what he's parodying.

Go ahead and hate on me all you want, but that's my opinion.

I think Al should do a parody from 21st Century Breakdown. I wonder how Billie Joe Armstrong would feel to have another parody...
And the polka should DEFINITELY have Polka Face as the title, with maybe a different song by Lady Gaga on it.

He's gotta do a parody of I Kissed A Girl. Maybe I Kissed a Squirrel?

This is your brain on drugs. Any questions?
