World of Weird Al Yankovic

Here are a few recordings from Al (or songs that were live but may or may not have been recorded) that seem to be really elusive to everyone.

-Pico And Sepulveda '73 - It is unknown if anyone owns this
-Orgy On My Own- There were supposedly 2 versions recorded, the Solo version and the Keyboard version, apparently with Damaskas on keyboards, And it was played Live a few times.
-Number One With A Bullet- With The Hollywood Off Ramp
-The Ballad of Chuck and Diane- 3 Versions, Demo to Buckingham Blues
-Mr. Frump in the Iron Lung (Guitar Version) Played on KMET at one point
-American Slob (Solo Version)
-Psycho (Don't know anything about this)
-Dead Car Battery Blues (Alternate Take)
-I'll Be Mellow When I'm Dead (Home Demo)

A few live ones:

-House Of The Sesame Seed Bun
-Hocus Pocus
-You Never Gave Me A Tune-Up
-More Than a Filling
-The Elements (We know this exists, since an excerpt had been released)
-Gas Line Blues
-Year of The Fat
-Hot Dog & Apple Pie
-Give a Little Bit (of your lunch to me)
-Hey Food


Obviously there are little tidbits about these on DMDB, but besides those, there isn't too much else.

I wonder what the chances are that we'll ever get to hear any of these.

Pretty much slim to none. Al, Joel Miller and maybe Bermuda are most likely the only ones to have coffee shop shows, and I dont see any of them releasing them

That unreleased song discography is missing a track - "Cycletron", an instrumental that became the basis for "Nature Trail To Hell". I think Vince Sanchez was on that one.

I've also been led to believe (by Vince, I think?) that Al recorded a demo tape titled 'Crampton Comes Alive' (I don't know if anything was on it besides that song), complete with a cartoon drawing of a hand reaching out of a grave.

I generally agree.

Al refused to let the other Hollywood Off Ramp song get released (Number One With A Bullet) and most of the other recordings nobody knows about.
