Its fantastic to see, that like Wackys, in music we have Al. Amazing to see that after 14 album deal he signed with Warner back in 1982, he just got his first #1 Album

Watch how todays kids react to what Al has been doing all these years:

Happy for Al to finally get that elusive #1 although he's come close over the years. Who would have thought that that kid, who's bathroom recording of MY BOLOGNA played on the Dr. Demento show back in the '70s, would still be still be at it 40 years later. I think his WORD CRIMES, off of this album, may be his best lyrical parody to date.

I agree, I compare it almost like Wackys in that they have survived the test of time from one generation to the next. I also like the song Foil off of this new album. But Al sadly announced that this is his last big bang in the music biz. He will take it easy now and just do small youtube eps in the future. He just wanted to meet his obligation for the 14 album deal and call it a day.

I’d like Weird Al to do a parody of Carly Simon’s song, “Anticipation”

And call it, “Procrastination”

Procrastination, Procrastination
Is making me late
Is keeping me waiting…

I think he should do a parody of Clapton's classic Cocaine, His version would either be Propane or Rogaine.

Mark, I like Rogaine! That's great. Rogaine could be the name of a bald woman who stars in the video.

If you want to hang out, you've gotta take her out, Rogaine. If you want to get down, get down on the ground, Rogaine.


How about a Weird Al version of Aerosmith’s, "Love in an Elevator", with his version being, “Lovin’ an Alligator”

As he's swallowed by the reptile, he sings, Lovin’ an alligator, lovin' it up when I'm goin' down.

Another suggestion for Al would be I'm So Exhausted done to the Pointer Sisters I'm So Excited. BTW Weird Al will be in my hometown Williamsport, PA. on Aug 5th.
