World of Weird Al Yankovic

You make a good point, OE. It may very well be in Al's contract that he do half parodies, half originals and a polka medley. I also agree that that is what sells, because people expect it. I'm looking forward to the next cd. Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

But, if we're talking about the music, yes, thankfully, Al writes mostly funny songs, not serious - leave them on Eurythmics. But there's one kind of music that Al didn't do, and that would be a certain amazement for us - funny instrumentals. Think about it.
Least favorite thing about Al? Mmm... Spelling his name.

SEVA.

hmm, well, he did do Fun Zone, Seva. That's a funny instrumental. Or at least a fun one. I enjoy it!

*dumbRussianfanthing*

SEVA.

Send a postcard to New York and all is forgiven.

Patti and I are almost eligible to write 1 again.

Not really a least favorite thing as much as a slight dissapointment.

I wish Al would do more TV spots. I mean, I watch I Love the 80's just for Al (and Hal Sparks. I'm not gonna lie to you)

I can't count how many times I'm watching a clip show and thinking "Wow, what would Al say about that?"

amen....

I've actually grown to like it now, I guess it just had to grow on me. but as for anything else, I have to admit with a lot of other people about him giving "stupid, flip answers" to questions on the ASK AL, because some of the questions I read in the archives that he gives a flip response could have been really good, if only the person asking had put it in correct context or he answered it like he knew the asker meant ot say it, not how it sounds literally. However, some of the really stupid questions he gives flip answers to are funny to read.

Did you mean that to be a pun?

I don't like how he's so stingy about releasing his unreleased songs!
