World of Weird Al Yankovic

With his first album in five years, "Alpocalypse," out recently, the "Weird" one himself will be stopping by Billboard on Wednesday, October 12 at 4pm EST to chat about all things Yankovic. He'll be answering fan questions live on camera, so tweet what your burning polka-themed queries and all other things you want to know now to @billboard using hashtag ##bbweirdal.

I guess the topic I'm most interested in right now is the unconfirmed appearance in HIMYM. Hope to hear more about that. Someone should ask him why three tracks from the concert are in the bonus content menu.

I did that just now. I also asked him "WHO ANIMATED THE "POLKA FACE" VIDEO?" as I'm pretty sure it's the only way we'll ever get him to tell us at this point.

I posted the list of directors/animators that the trading card for the Polka Face video lists. There's also information on executive producers in that topic. Here's the list of who animated it:

Lichtensteiner Polka & Tick Tock Polka: Melanie Mandl
Poker Face (Parts 1 and 2), Right Round, Baby, I Kissed a Girl & Break Your Heart: Wachtenheim/Marianetti
Womanizer: Philip Eddolls
Day 'n' Nite: John Dilworth
Need You Now: Janet Perlman
So What: Sharon Colman
Fireflies: Anna Bermann
Blame It & TiK ToK: Dan Meth
Replay: Chris Hinton
Down: Greg Holfeld

Thanks for sharing, Jeremy. Still, I think it would be cooler to hear Al touch on the subject. Maybe he'll tell us a little about what his selection process for the animators was like.

-Will there be a new Al-tv for this album?

Oh cool! The fact that Al's doing this on my birthday makes it even sweeter. It's like he's doing it specifically with me in mind because I'm so important.

Can we get a like button icon so I can use it for the previous post?

I've been on forums with "like" buttons. It probably wouldn't be hard to implement at all.

Well, we can all rest easy knowing Al will not be on Dancing with the Stars! He was asked, though!
Nice Q&A!
