RussTCB Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Apparently I pre-ordered this CD from Amazon as I just found it while going through the mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronaldo9 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I totally didn't see the complete tone shift coming in the middle of the video, it still makes me laugh out loud!Yeah, I was thinking it was another food song--didn't see that change in direction coming either.Video for "Handy": https://screen.yahoo.com/weird-al-yankovic-handy-parody-133702425.htmlNot my favorite, but looking forward to the other videos. Smart move by him--partnering with all of these different companies and getting so many different videos from the album out on varying sites. Think all four so far have been produced by different companies and debuted on different sites (not counting his website, that is). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 It baffles me that he's been doing this since the 70s and he's pushing 60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 It baffles me that he's been doing this since the 70s and he's pushing 60.A buddy of mine was watching the Foil video last night. As soon as it started he said "WHY DOESN'T THIS GUY AGE?!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacardimayne Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) If only Axl had released CD on a week where 80k would get him to #1. Edited July 21, 2014 by bacardimayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lio Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Just checked out a few of the clips. Funny stuff, but I can't imagine buying the album and actually listening to it regularly. But apparently many disagree with me, so go Weird Al Yankovic Word Crimes seems the perfect choice to use in an English class though.

Yesterdays-Civil-War Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Funny stuff, but I can't imagine buying the album and actually listening to it regularly. Exactly how I feel about Weird Al. He's really talented, and I found his stuff funny, but for most of it a few listens is more than enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val22 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 The guy's a genius of making his own videos to hit songs.Anyone who lets him parody their songs are in for a real treat.I saw the video for "White and Nerdy" and it was so funny. I loved his "Fat" to MJ's Bad video.Weird Al has just got a talent for re-writing hit songs and making some of the funniest videos every.His album was Number 1. Now that's something!

Death Star Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 My Own Eyes ia a style parody of the Foo Fighters. He did however on Straight Outta Lynwood do a polka version of Slither as part of his polka medley "Polkarama!". My favorite Al songs would have to be Trigger Happy, The Night Santa Went Crazy/Night Santa Went Crazy (Extra Gory Version), Night Santa Went Crazy (Even Gorier Version), Yoda and Christmas At Ground Zero.

Another of my favorite originals is Party At The Lepper Colony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
