World of Weird Al Yankovic

So does anyone think Al is going to get around to parodying Adele this time? I would pay all the money to hear his take on "Hello". I don't care what the subject matter is, I just want to her him belt out that chorus.

As much as I would love this, I think by this point it's already been out too long for him to do anything with it, unless he releases something today or tomorrow. James Corden already parodied Hello for Halloween on his show, which is just another reason to hate this probably nice man. Would love to hear Al's take on it, but not sure it is likely.

Wow! I had that thought the other day! Id like to hear his take on it, but I guess I could say that about any popular song right now. I just want him to come out with another song

Hello...?
It's me...

It also woulda been possibly great if he had done something with Hotline Bling by Drake, but that song is almost a parody of itself by now.

Maybe Al is done making music.

Don't even THINK about saying that If he is I will cry forever.

Well, there is a new Star Wars movie coming up...

Obvious line: "Hello from the Dark Siiiiide!!"

I don't buy that Al will reject doing a song parody just because others have already parodied it. There were tons of "Blurred Lines" and "Happy" parodies out there. . .before Al came out with the best ones. In this internet age, as soon as there's a hit song you'll have about 27 YouTube parodies of it before the end of the week. Doesn't mean any of them are the definitive ones.

I think it would have to come down to him having a great idea. I think if he had an inspired concept for an Adele parody he'd do it, but I don't think he would do it just to do it.

I am curious to see how his next release goes down, whether it's a parody or original. Will he just release one-offs here and there as ideas come to him? How much advance warning will we get that something will be released? Seems like we always knew a new album was on the horizon months before the release date, but if he's now just going to release one song at a time I doubt the build up would be that drawn out.

I'm willing to bet Al will release some parody in December/January about the new Star Wars movie. I mean, it's practically obligatory.

I was thinking/hoping that as well. . .but don't know if I'd bet on it.

Our collective guesses are as good as Als' or each others as to when he will release a new song in any way, shape or form. I don't know that Al is actively paying attention to the charts right now, but even if he's not Adeles' new release and the sheer hype surrounding it may still be hard to miss if you're not in a cave somewhere. I'm sure Al knows about the song but unless he's already had a can't resist" idea suddenly pop into his head that he really wants to do before it's too late, I doubt it's gonna happen.

While we're on the subject, I really want to see someone somewhere (if not Al) write an Adele parody titled "Yellow" that is a tribute to The Simpsons.
