World of Weird Al Yankovic

Oh, that probably won't be... not unless he really wants to pay the money to do that...

Thanks to Matt for the compliment.

To Ryan: I'll be announcing whether a track makes it to an album or not. As for my old stuff that's not going on an album, I have my reasons as to why the 24 hour rule stands on that stuff.

Sorry to sound anal about it, but my material (both songs and skits) is my material and that rule should be respected. This applies to everyone except for Jace, since he is hosting these for me on his server. ...And since I've gained Jace's trust, I'm not worried about him misusing my material and posting it on p2p networks, for ignorami to blatantly mislable it as a "Weird Al" Yankovic song.

Again, I apologize for sounding anal about it. Here's a very, very good reason why I've enforced my "24 Hours Only" policy, here at WOWAY over the past couple years:

In 1994, when I was a Sophomore in High School, my High School Swim Coach discovered my artistic ability when he saw me draw some of my own cartoon characters for a comic I was working on.

He was looking for someone to make a logo for the High School Swim Team and said I was the man for the job. I accepted and worked hard on a rough logo by hand (which I still have to this very day) which he had a friend of his touch up on his computer, since I didn't have a decent computer for graphic production.

Needless to say, my High School Swim Coach stole my credit, which didn't sit too well with me. Later around the 1995-1996 School year, my High School adopted the logo that I originally worked on, it appeared on the Official 1995-1996 School Year Folders the school distributed at the beginning of the year, it appeared on T-Shirts, Baseball Caps and even pencils.

The moral of my story is Don't Trust ANYONE With Your Artwork, whether it be a drawing, painting, music, radio sketch, music video or independent film.

So I would GREATLY appreciate it if everyone here at WOWAY respect my wishes and follow the "24 Hours Only" policy. Again, I apologize for sounding Anal about it, I just don't want another "High School Swim Team Logo" stolen again.

That's really not good of your swim coach But, anyways, I don't mean to sound like some annoying little weasel-faced dogboy about it but what if we were to burn them to CD (which p2p programs would have to literally break into our houses and steal to find) and then completely delete all traces from our computer?

thats great, my brother is a huge Green Day fan and wait till i tell him that that is your goal, i have already parodied every single off of that except for the new one, Wake Me Up When September Ends, but i am working on it...

OK, this is my first parody I have posted on this forum so here it is. Give me as much critisizm as needed; I'm tryin to get better at this. And yeah, I know some of the lines are kinda squeezed in but remember, I'm new at this. It's about the show "Spongebob Squarepants", just in case you didn't figure it out.

Bikini Bottom
Parody of "Closing Time" by Semisonic

Spongebob
He's a really friendly man
Who works at the Krusty Krab
Spongebob
He's not all that hairy
And he's got a snail named Gary
Patrick Star
He's the one that's really pink
And doesn't always think
They live right
Next to each other but of course there is always Squidward

Who lives in a pineapple?
Who lives in a pineapple?
Who lives in a pineapple?
Under the sea

Squidward
He's kinda greenish-blue
And doesn't wear any shoes
Mr. Krabs
His eyes look pretty funny
And he's obsessed with money
So Spongebob, I gotta ask you
Just one little question
Why do you wear that suit?
Spongebob
Does your house always smell like fresh fruit?

Who lives in a pineapple?
I know who lives in a pineapple
Who lives in a pineapple?
Under the sea

Sandy Cheeks
She can run really fast
And she's the only one with an oxygen mask

I know who lives in a pineapple
I know who lives in a pineapple
Who lives in a pineapple?
Under the sea
Who lives in a pineapple?
Who lives in a pineapple?
Who lives in a pineapple?
Under the sea

Bikini Bottom
Home to Spongebob Squarepants
And many others, too

very very good, i'm not really sure of how the origonal goes, but from what i do know of it, sounds perfect

I made a new skit. It's called "Corn". It parodies people that think they are funny but are not.

Also, if you found Heated Political Debate boring and such, and are too dang normal to enjoy it, never fear, I have a Normal People version for you!

Both on soundclick.com/apfelbits now!

My new parodies are on AmIRight now. The new ones that I've done are Comic Meet, a parody of Candyshop by 50 Cent, about a nerd trying 50's "so seductive" style, Dedication, a parody of Rap Name by Obie Trice in which I give credit where it is deserved, I Need a Witch, a parody of I Need a by Nate Dogg about a man looking for love intereset in a witch, and When the Funding Stops, a parody of When the Music Stops by Eminem featuring D12 (the greatest song ever) about the different experiences of those who have fallen victim to pulled funding. Woo! Now I've got 30 parodies there!

I just got done recording and mixing my newest parody! Dedication is a religious parody of Rap Name by Obie Trice giving credit to where it is deserved

That's awesome!!
