World of Weird Al Yankovic

Okay, so we know about "The Food Album" & "The TV Album". But what about all those crazy love songs:
1. You Don't Love Me Anymore
2. Since You've Been Gone
3. My Baby's In Love With Eddie Vedder
4. Do I Creep You Out
5. You Make Me
6. I'm So Sick Of You
7. I Was Only Kidding
8. She Never Told Me She Was A Mime
9. Airline Amy
10. Close But No Cigar
11. Melanie
12. One More Minute
13. Good Enough For Now
14. Isle Thing
15. Wanna B Ur Lovr

If you were going to do another Cheesy Compilation Album, the Twisted Love Songs one makes more sense than the TV album did. The Twisted Love Songs are among Al's best work.

Yeah, but the TV Album is probably more marketable.

Because more people watch TV than have romantic relationships go pear-shaped?

I'd assume "Alimony" is left off for some reason? It's not as "Twisted" as the others, but, kinda deals with love in a way...

In my case, yeah. I've never been in a relationship...

Kinda sad, really.

Okay, there's another reason the "suits" would never do the Twisted Love album. Out of 15 songs, 13 are originals. Which is a GOOD thing, just a less marketable thing than parodies.

Sad, but true. I mean, the hardcore's, I'm sure, would possibly pick it up. Or, at the least, buy it off of iTunes or what have you.

Although, lately, it seems there's been a general uprising in support of Al, a general 'respect' of sorts, where he seems to have a lot of albums selling recently, and I'm sure it'd sell well despite the lack of parodies. Granted, the parodies seem to be the highest noted songs of his, but I know quite a few people who can rattle off non-parodies and say they like them.

I, for one, am not going to pay money to buy MP3s of songs I already have. If I'm going to buy a cheesy comp from Al, it better at least have liner notes.

I'm not saying ALL hardcores, but I know quite a few who would purchase it, just for the liner notes. I count myself amongst them. Then again, I have every cheesy compilation he's put out, even though I have the studio albums. I dunno.
