I like that they're using a classic Al image, but it'd look so much nicer if "Weird Al" were in the same font as Yankovic.

"Polkamon" seems like a sure bet--I feel like that's been mentioned as being included but I'm not sure. As for the rest, I wouldn't put money on "I Need a Nap," "Circus Parade," or "Homer and Marge" since he didn't write them. I feel like "Belvedere Cruising" and "Take Me Down" are historically significant enough that they really should be there, but we know Al isn't necessarily fond of his earliest work so they unfortunately may get passed over. As for the others, I guess it depends on A) if Al isn't too embarrassed by them and B) if he can score permission. He did perform at George Fest, so maybe the George Harrison estate will be willing to play along...ajv2001 wrote:I hope that the "bonus" disc contains at least SOME of the following:

UGH NEXT SUMMER CANT COME SOON ENOUGH!!![]()
Only problem I can see with "Polkamon" is that it was released under Atlantic Records, and with the James Blunt incident they might turn Al down from including it due to being peeved over the whole ordeal.anthontherun wrote:"Polkamon" seems like a sure bet--I feel like that's been mentioned as being included but I'm not sure.
I did notice that while watching the credits of the one Pokemon movie for Polkamon on ITV Hub following it's airing on CITV. Hopefully they just do it for the fans.Big Spoon wrote:Only problem I can see with "Polkamon" is that it was released under Atlantic Records, and with the James Blunt incident they might turn Al down from including it due to being peeved over the whole ordeal.anthontherun wrote:"Polkamon" seems like a sure bet--I feel like that's been mentioned as being included but I'm not sure.
... Or (hopefully) they'll be good sports and realize that the two are in no way connected.
