World of Weird Al Yankovic

Al said this on twitter
"Like Madonna, Hitler and @michaelianblack, I've written a children's book. Out next year on HarperCollins."

I was just thinking about Al writing a children's book yesterday, after I went to someones house who had like 10 books written by Madonna on a shelf

Cool! Now I know what to answer if I'm ever playing TriBond and the clue is "Weird Al, Hitler, and Madonna."

I think it will be a book version of Al's Brain.

Hitler wrote a kids book?

Yeah, little known fact: Hitler wrote Green Eggs & Ham.

That got me baffled for, like, three minutes straight, until I realized that it was just Al being... Al. He has the strangest sense of humor (and that's why we love him)

As a reference: Wikipedia. None of those books look like they're meant for kids

So...this isn't a joke?

it could be, but the movie was kind of short, unless the book ended with the Als Brain song written as a poem.

I hope its a poetry book

Can't make another movie so he sits around and writes books now huh.

Dang I always though "Mein Kampf" was a handbook for Boy Scouts on a Nature Trail to Hell...



How about a movie of Al's Book though?


I feel the spirit of Shel Silverstein hovering close by our boy Alfred
I wish him all the best in this new endeavour.. it's a very intelligent move I feel

As long as this doesn't kill off too much of his time song writing (which it probably won't), I'm fine with it. In fact, I might buy this book for my baby sister.
