Here`s the idea: with the ton of songs Weird Al has made, I`ve noticed a nice part of them have the three instruments for Rock Back, and even more have the oh-ever-famous electric guitar. If there happened to be a Guitar Hero or Rock Band edition of Weird Al, which songs would it have? I got a few ideas, but I`d rather have opinions from bigger fans than me. I`ll add them up here after decision.
Guitar Hero:
CNR
Craigslist
Skipper Dan
I`ll Sue Ya
Young, Dumb and Ugly
Rock Band:
Craigslist
Skipper Dan
I`ll Sue Ya
Young, Dumb and Ugly
Costumes:
-Al before 2000
-Al after 2000
-IAATP outfit
Now, the argumenting may begin.
EDIT: With the game could be sold an accordion with the five colored buttons so that the player could also do the polka medleys! Is that a good idea?

My mom once asked me if there was a Weird Al Rock Band like there's a Beatles Rock Band. She's...interesting.

Cool topic. I will post my ideas later on.

Despite Al being pigeon holed as "the accordion player"- I can't imaging an accordion design for any rock band featuring Al. the polka medleys, majority of the self titled album, and a few fan favorites like "Eddie Vedder" or "Lasagna" really just isn't enough let alone fit.
If anything I'd put songs from the essential collection and let it be a simple opportunity to play as Jim, John, Steve, and Al...and a bonus feature where you're Ruben dancing in a cone bra and that tapping the microphone to the beat would be like banging a tamborine.......y'know- just to not let him feel left out.

Yeah, that`s not the brightest thing I`ve ever written here. Anyway, for songs, I am listening through my entire collection for the 27th time and I came up with some songs. Since this game has no chance of being released, I suppose the five songs from Internet Leaks can be included.
Rock Band requires guitar, drums and bass while Guitar Hero only requires the guitar. So some songs that go in GH fit as well in RB.
CNR for Guitar Hero (there`s drums but there`s no bass...)
Craigslist for Rock Band and Guitar Hero
Skipper Dan for RB and GH
I thought of Ringtone for GH and RB since there`s all three instruments but they`re not always there, and I`m unsure.

Guitar Hero does have drums/singing.
And if this game had even a 1% chance of being released, I'm sure there would just be the greatest hits because it's very unlikely anyone but the us, the obsessed fans, would buy it. What's more likley to maybe possibly happen is one Al song and the original being featured on one of the games, probably one of the most popular rock parody songs-SLN maybe?

I could see I'll Sue Ya and Yound, Dumb, and Ugly on there. Oh, and the costume from It's All About the Pentiums.

Don't think anything of it, really. Its not always about what you say so much as how you say it when making an impression.
Continuin' on.
If it wasn't that lack of bass- CNR would be perfect...but who's to say we can't get a new version with a bass track?

It can do every Weird Al song ever if it came with an accordion.
