I just got the Video DVD I can't wait to go home and put it on.



This man is a genius in his own right consistantly creating very funny songs and parodies. My top favs are..

Like a Surgeon

One More Minute (probably my top favorite...it wasn't until I was much older when I got the genius of this song )

Ricky

Smells like Nirvana

Christmas at ground Zero

Yoda

Slime Creatures From Outer Space

Living with a Hernia

Taco Grande

and all of the Polka Medlies


and don't forget Spatula City!

I saw him in concert once at an amusement park in Minnesota. What a goof. Remember:
Eat it! Eat it! Eat it! Eat it! (riff on MJ's Beat It)

I saw him picking up on skanky ho's in Hollywood dive several years ago. He looked like he was having fun.

I saw him open for the Monkees at the Minnesota State Fair. Is this the show you saw?

"Eat It" takes on a whole new meaning.

Isn't Prince one of the only artists who won't give him permission to parody his songs?

HUGE Weird Al fan here!

I've seen him in concert a few times and he puts on one HELL of a great show! Guaranteed to always be lots of fun.

He's also a genuinely nice guy to his fans.

I hate when people bag on him as if he's nothing more than a worthless lame novelty act or something...he actually is very talented and very clever. I think people need to give his music more of a listen than just making assumptions from the random video or song they might see or hear once awhile.

Those polka medleys are fantastic, btw.

He is singing back up vocals on a new Ben Folds song called "Time" on bens new album coming in feb.

The polka's are the greatest!

My faves: "Bohemian Polka" and "Alternative Polka"

Amish Paradise is the best one...


mostly...it's all annoying!!

The "bad/fat" parody was quite funny

No, I saw him at Valley Fair probably around 1983 or something, ages ago.

Yes. AL has asked him numerous times but gets the NO. Recently he asked EMINEM and he said sure...but AL would not be able to release the song as a single.

I watch the videos last night. I have a new appreciation for FAT. And Beverly Hillbillies. PURE GENIUS. To take a song like Bev hillbillies and put it to Dire Straits Money for Nothing...I have no idea how he came up with that. I am not a big fan of that parody, but when you realize what it is, you just have to sit back and appreciate it.

I love the part when he's in the garage on Fat/bad... and he's talkin to the gang (or whatever) and their "fat"

"You dont know nothing!"


hahahaha geez, i think thats how it goes.. he made me laugh so hard at how angry he got...


haha
