World of Weird Al Yankovic

TrueScribe would make sense for "Word Crimes", but I admit I'd be a little disappointed if that were the case. It's my favorite parody on the album and I'd love a live-action parody of the Blurred Lines video.

I'd say "Tacky" because I think that's going to be HUGE, but it makes more sense for that to be to the "View" video. I think "Handy" is a good guess, since it's best to get that out early what with "Fancy" still being the #1 song and it's the song that will most appeal to younger people. Maybe "Sports Song" because of the Funny Or Die association?

Based on the content, I don't really know how well "Handy" will actually appeal to younger people. I actually think "Tacky" and "Word Crimes" would do better with millenials than "Handy."

What makes you think that the "Sports Song" video will be on Monday just because of its connection to Funny or Die? Do they only release videos on Mondays?

While I'm on the subject of videos, can we assume that all of Al's videos will simultaneously be released on his YouTube/VEVO channel on the days of their release or will we have to hunt them down on TrueScribe, Funny or Die, etc.?

Considering that "Word Crimes" was featured on NPR instead of "Handy," perhaps "Word Crimes" actually IS the Jack Black video and/or will be the first video. Or maybe it'll be the one premiered on "The View."

I'm hoping Word Crimes is live action. Also I kinda want Dogtoons to do a Jackson Park Express video, which might be possible since they did recently release a new animated video with Al just out of nowhere and they've already done the Trapped in the Drive Through video. Maybe they released that video a few weeks ago to get us ready for a new music video. I can hope.

I'm still thinking the TruScribe video is for "Mission Statement." They do a lot of corporate messaging type videos. If anyone can make sense of lyrics and attempt to visualize the song, it's those guys.

Videos for "Word Crimes" and "Tacky" officially confirmed!!

So excited for this!!!!

Alright, so we know that Sports Song, Handy, Tacky are live action, and I would assume LCTF is live action, as Bermudas outfit is SCOTS looking.

Yep! We haven't had 4 live action videos for a single album since "Dare to be Stupid."

Note that Bermuda said that the video for Word Crimes is great, which means we DO get a video for that. Wonder what style the animator will take with it
