World of Weird Al Yankovic

Man, I'm sorry that happened.

Haha yesterday I was wearing my Tacky shirt and two different people laughed out loud and complimented me on the shirt, and it turned out neither of them knew it was Weird Al-related. They just thought it was funny to wear a Tacky shirt.

It's like some people said they like my text message sound without knowing it's Star Trek communicator sound

teller beside him is like, that's Denis Leary, and he's like no it was "Weird Al". Don't know why I even mentioned the fact that Al would not say the A word in his music, butthole maybe but doubtful. He was really persistent and truly wanted to continue to believe Al did the A-hole song, oh god, the ignorance was just too much.

I think Al would sooner say "sphincter", "colon" or even "lower intestine" in a song before he would utter the word "butthole".

Are we forgetting that Al sang "I'll even let you warm your freezing hands inside my buttcrack" right at the beginning of "If That Isn't Love"? Granted, that wasn't a particularly memorable song, but I've always found that lyric off-putting, simply because it just doesn't seem like something Al would sing in the first place. Heck, I'd even consider "buttcrack" to be worse than "butthole", but that's just me.

So weird... I mean, you can see people's buttcracks whenever someone with low waist pants bends over, and it's almost socially acceptable, so why the word itself would be a problem? I'd put "buttcrack" in the same category as "ass", "boobs", meanwhile "butthole" goes to the same category as all sorts of genitalia.

"All sorts?" I thought there were only two kinds!

I think my opinion has more to do with the word "crack" vs. "hole"; the former has a harder sound that just seems to make it worse on the ears than the latter. Again, maybe I'm in the minority, but I guess that's just the way I see it.

Such a classy conversation we got going on here.

Most of the time... Once we had an interesting goat that couldn't fall into either category...
It's like that fun fact that an average human has less than 2 legs .

I have seen many comments about his singing abilities for angry fan boys disliking his parodies. Those are easy to ignore due to their irrelivence. However, one comment on YouTube for Mr. Yankovic singing "Tacky" on Conan stated that he has gotten away with rape and should not be supported. That was posted out of pure malace and wanting to rouse a response out of people. Purhaps, the poster really doesn't like Mr. Yankovic. It is fine, but to try an spread evil rumors about him is well...tacky.
