who else is a fan of this comedic genius?

some of my favorite songs:

The Saga Begins
Smells Like Nirvana (my favorite)
Ebay
You're Pitiful (never actually released, REALLY FUNNY)
White and Nerdy (like my second favorite)
Amish Paradise
Don't Download This Song

Eat It is kind of funny too.

tomorrow I will post links to these songs/videos.

P.S. I have to post this You're Pitiful link, it's too funny for you not to hear... http://media.thechrispirilloshow.com/mp3/yourepitiful.mp3

Dude I love that guys music!!!

My fave is White & Nerdy!

BTW, Weird Al going to be on the Tonight Show (Jay Leno) on NBC at 11:30 PM Pacific. Becuasue of his new album, which now Weird Al is officially a top 10 artist, a first time in his career.

In fact recently (day Lynwood came out) I went to hollywood for a meet and greet and met Weird and got my album signed. Here is a picture from it.

The only child of Nick and Mary Yankovic, Alfred's first accordion lesson was October 22, 1966 a day before his seventh birthday. A door-to-door salesman traveling the Lynwood neighborhood offered the Yankovic parents a choice of accordion or guitar lessons for a local music school. Yankovic claims the reason his parent's chose accordion over guitar was "they figured there should be at least one more accordion-playing Yankovic in the world", referring to Frankie Yankovic, to whom he is no relation.

Which ones? If they have names like "Barney's on Fire" or "Which Backstreet boy is gay" he didn't write it. Due to the ambigious nature of file sharing, there are *alot* of vulgar songs floating around, and because it's "funny" or "comedy" most people associate them with Weird Al and so many songs get pinned with Weird Al's name on it but which he never wrote or had anything to do with, thus unintentionally tarnishing his somewhat family friendly image.

Here is a site that has a list of songs that he did not write:

he did The Saga Begins, I had that on my list of favorites.

He did do Which Backstreet Boy is Gay, tho.

Never heard of Frankie Yankovic.

Yeah, Weird Al is a perfect name for him.

I had White and Nerdy on my list of faves, mr. holyness.

Weird Al is just awesome. Especially "Albuquerque", tho half of it is just talking and not singing. Wow, i didn't realize that there were so many songs under his name that aren't really his songs.

that song is hilarious.

but its not the best one, in my opinion.

My favorite two are Smells Like Nirvana and White and Nerdy. I think Smells Like Nirvana is his funniest one.
