"Weird" Al

Are there any Weird Al fans out there? If so, what's your favorite song?

Mine is Albuquerque : "Way back when I was just a little bitty boy, living in a box under the stairs in the corner of the basement of the house 1/2 a block down the street from Jerry's Bait Shop (you know the place), well anyway..."

 

Gotta love Weird Al! I haven't heard too many of his songs, but so far my favorite is "Amish Paradise". Ever seen the music video?

 

I've been a "Weird Al" Yankovic fan since his first hit "My Bologna" I don't think he made a song I didn't laugh at! I forgot to mention I saw him on two different tours and the last one I won the tickets off the radio I think the janitor in "UHF" is Kramer from Sienfeld, am I right?

I met him in a swamp down in Dagoba
Where the water bubbles all the time like a giant carbonated soda ... S O D A soda

I saw this little runt sitting there on a log, I asked him his name and in a raspy voice he said Yoda. Y-O-D-A Yoda, yo-yo-yo-yoda.

That's my favorite (sung to the tune of Lola)

 

Weird Al is the greatest. My favourite song is probably Midnight Star.

 

reepnorp (interesting name): what album is it on?

Cappy: No, I haven't. Pero mi gustario mucho!!
(it means "But I'd certainly like to," roughly translated from Spanish)

 

Wierd al is great!! I love all his songs! My favourites are probably - the jerry springer song, albuquerque (it's freakily similiar to a friend of mine in it's mannerisims "no i want you to cut off my arms and legs with a chainsaw!" so i did. hehe) and finally the first i heard.... dare to be stupid (it was in transformers the movie soundtrack - arguably one of the best soundtracks of all time, well argued by me that is ).

"stick your head in the mircrowave, and get yourself a tan! fzzzz"

 

Midnight Star? It's on "WEIRD AL" YANKOVIC IN 3-D.

 

I've liked Weird Al for many many years. Once I saw him live. That was excellent.

 

Wierd Al rocks! Must say that UHF is a film that anyone should see who can post to this forum. I've included some favorite moments from UHF, too, but these are spoilers if you haven't seen the film, so if you haven't, then please don't look!)

Favorites songs include:
1. Another One Rides the Bus
2. Polka Power, and
3. Ricky

Favorite bits from UHF:
1. Conan the librarian
2. "That stapler?"
3. "Is this it??" No..! "Is this it?" No..!
4. Spatula City!
5. I JUST don't KNOW what's WRONG WITH ME!!!

 

Heh! I saw Al's "Running With Scissors Tour" live. That guy can put on a great show!

My favorite songs:

1) Amish Paradise
2) The Saga Begins
3) Livin' in the Fridge

 

He rocks
best songs:
Amish Paradise
Jerry Springer
Which backstreet boy is gay?
Make my boobies one more time

 

I'm with Mathetais: "Yoda." Also a big fan of "Eat It" and "Amish Paradise."

 

The man is hilarious. Gotta love Amish Paradise

 

...and he contributed to the tftm soundtrack. rree-spect!

 

I only recently got interested, and I have to say he's insanely good.

Best songs:
Amish Paradise(the video is also hilarious)
Another One Rides the Bus
Eat It
The Saga Begins

 

How stupid of me, I forgot:

Every song from Running w/ Scisors, Bad Hair Day,
The Food Album, Weird Al's Greatest Hits; Harvey the Wonder Hamster (too bad he isn't named Boo ), YODA, and maybe some others I forgot to mention.

 

You guys forgot the "Weird Al Show Theme", now that was a good show.

 

Saruman, I believe there's a notice on his website saying that most of the parodies running round the net (the only one I can remember specifically is "Oops, I got pregnant again") were NOT done by Al. Those last titles in particular strike me as not his sort of thing. He doesn't go there, especially since a big part of his following is kids.

You know, I haven't seen the video for Amish Paradise, but I did see him perform it at Just for Laughs once.

 

I don't know, but everywhere I look it is written that these songs are "by Weird Al Yankovich".

And there is a great song, called What if god smoked cannabis, also "by Weird Al", but it is a woman's voice singing.
