World of Weird Al Yankovic

Well, he should at least auto-tune the necessary songs in the polka to make it authentic.

I'm still hoping one of the parodies are of a Taylor Swift song, but the chances of that are looking very slim to none right now

Yeah. I'm actually surprised there doesn't appear to be one...

She's not going anywhere, though. We'll have another chance...

I hope one of the "originals" turns out to be a Taylor Swift parody. That would be pretty cool!

Those wacky originals are as slippery to figure out as World 6 in Super Mario Bros. 3! I've been predicting a Presidents of the United States of America and Cake style parody since Running with Scissors. He finally did the Cake one in 2006, so maybe this will be the year for the POTUSA. I would've never predicted Queen, The White Stripes, The Doors, or Weezer, but said "oh yeaaaahhhhh..." once I heard them. I want to know if anyone successfully predicted a Hilly Michaels style parody for Bad Hair Day before it came out. I give anyone credit who can predict his original styles before the album.

Yeah, I've been holding out for one of those myself, but it sadly seems that "TMZ" and "Another Tattoo" don't really fit well with any of the hist she's had within the past two years.

I had predicted that Al would probably do a style parody of the White Stripes as well as a song inspired by Chuck Norris facts, but not actually about Chuck Norris. Though I didn't think of them being the same song.

That being said I keep thinking Al's gonna do a Ramones style parody some time soon, but given the titles of the remaining originals I don't think it's going to be on this album.

Yeah, none of the remaining song titles lends themselves easily to Ramones. He does like the older punk scene, so it sounds like a good prediction for the future anyway. I kept thinking he might do another punk-type style, but White Stripes is probably the closest to that. CNR is a good one though! I couldn't believe he did a song about Charles Nelson Riley though! I used to watch old game shows when I was a kid and saw quite a bit of him back then. He does really like The Beatles and Rolling Stones too, so those wouldn't surprise me...

People keep saying theres no rock on this new album, just look at the originals so far.. they're all rock!!

They meant no rock parodies, because those are what Al is really known for.
