Yeah, come to think of it, I never read/hear him talking about Harry Potter. Ever.
But I'd love an HP parody.

Much more likely would be a Harry Potter reference in a lyric somewhere.

It's definitely the parodies that sell the records. Hands down. Mainstream radio certainly doesn't play his originals. Once in a while, but even then it's only "Dare to be Stupid" or "Christmas at Ground Zero", at least around here.JDTurnbull272 @ October 09, 2008 02:24 am wrote: I hate to say it, but I just can't see Al doing the same thing with his originals on iTunes...I personally love them, but even he has said before that it is usually the parodies that sell the CDs. Plus seeing how much work goes into the originals, he will need more time for them anyways.
I'm just saying, in general, I usually find the originals to be just as funny as, if not funnier than, half the parodies he does.
The parodies are good, mind you. But I wouldn't trade something as good as, I dunno, "You Don't Love Me Anymore" for a song like "Spam." While I like "Spam", I don't find it nearly as funny or offbeat as YDLMA.

I don't know that Al has any interest in Harry Potter, anyway.

OK, OK. But seriously, don'cha just think, if an HP parody came out when the whole premise was popular, that would be too obvious? Like I Kissed A Girl parody nowadays?

That's true. With that in mind, I would like to see a parody based on Pogs on the next album!Seva @ October 10, 2008 04:20 pm wrote: OK, OK.
