World of Weird Al Yankovic

I don't know, I mean, there's bound to be people who don't want to know the setlist before they see the show....I think spoiler tags might be the way to go, just to be considerate to those people

As long as they stay out of the Touring and Live Appearances forum, they should be okay.

It does. But I could go a long time without seeing Al's curls covered and those creepy eyebrows.

OMM I think will stay in the setlist perennially, just like Fat.

I hope so. Didn't Al say he's done it in every show since the beginning?

We haven't officially discussed this among the Mods/Admin but my feeling is that once the tour starts, it's officially out there. If you want to avoid knowing, you'll have to really work at it. I don't think it's fair to ask everyone to spoiler tag every possible reference to a song in the setlist. This is a forum for discussing Al Things Yankovic (ahem, sorry CD ) and it's fair game once the tour starts.

I don't think we need to make people curtail their discussions just to the Tour Forum. Once Al's out there doing the "Weird Al" thing, we're going to be talking about it all over the board.

DICYO would be good, though my only gripe compared to WBUL is that...it's half the time of good Alness for the Gals. Hey, we want all the time we can get.

I'm hoping for a concert only song besides You're Pitiful, would be a short version of Bad Date. I know it was a considered song, but it would be awesome to hear even if only for a verse. Plus, I wouldn't mind a new concert only song. I love Free Delivery, but I kinda want something new. Though Free Delivery has Steve playing the recorder, which brings cheers. Hmmmm.

I'll have to agree that IAATP will probably go, which will make me sad because of that suit, but yeah.

I'm not sure where W&N will go. It could be a good starter, but it would be a great way to end the show or so. Of course, before the encore since it still amuses me that people leave after Fat.

People leave after Fat?????? People leave before the end of the show????? Does not compute B)

That's why it's important to go to enough concerts that you know that "Fat" is not the end of the show.

What's the likelyhood Al will come to Canada? I'd think it would be more likely because of Canadian Idiot, but so far, nil.

That could be why they started having Ruben do his little "Emperor Dance" before the encore...sort of like saying "wait, wait, there's more to come!"

Encores are one of the worst gimmicks in music, but anyone who doesn't know to stick around doesn't deserve to stick around.
