Reverend Jax Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 Some of you could possibly never have heard of Weird Al (blasphemy!). Others might have only heard one or two of his songs (blasphemy!). Some might be surprise to know that he's still around and is working on his new (11th) album (blasphemy!). I have created this poll, and believe me, as a fan of all his stuff, including unreleased material, it was tough reducing his body of work, spanning 23 years of consistantly outstanding music to just ten choices. About half of his songs are originals (non-parodies), but it's obvious that his popular material weights heavily in the parody department. That's why this poll is all parody. It killed me to not include 'Albuquerque', my favorite Weird Al song. I was also pained to have to exclude classics like 'King Of Suede', 'Yoda', 'Dare to Be Stupid', 'I Love Rocky Road', 'One More Minute', 'Living With A Hernia', 'Lasagna', Ricky', 'Addicted To Spuds', 'I Lost On Jeopardy', 'I Can't Watch This', 'The White Stuff', 'Jurassic Park', 'Achy Breaky Song', 'Livin' In The Fridge', 'You Don't Love Me Anymore', 'Christmas At Ground Zero', 'Cavity Search', 'Syndicated Inc.', 'Phony Calls', 'The Night Santa Went Crazy', 'Pretty Fly For A Rabbi', 'Jerry Springer', 'Germs', and 'Grapefruit Diet'. But hey, that's life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 I used to like this one called "Trigger Happy", when i was a wee one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted August 26, 2002 Author Share Posted August 26, 2002 Trigger Happy is great too. So many good ones. I recommend Albuquerque to everyone. It is Al at his most Al, if you can follow that logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Snake Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 'Pretty Fly For A Rabbi' sounds pretty good! Can't say I know many, Weird Al never really got over here, though some I'd know. Reminds me though I must try and track down a copy of 'UHF', that shit was funny! "WHEEL....OF.....FISH!!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend Jax Posted August 26, 2002 Author Share Posted August 26, 2002 Well, listen to any that you have interest in. All of those have music videos too, some that are down right priceless (Fat and Amish Paradise in particular). I know you modem folk won't be investing any precious download time for Weird Al viseos, but mp3s are well worth the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
