Well guys, this topic is for talking about Wier Al Yankovic's crazy song parodies! He has so many good songs that a lot of people can relate to. You've been living under a rock if you havent heard of Wierd Al.
People make flashes, movies and YTMD's with his songs. And his voice is so distincive, so that if you ever hear him sing, you think "oh, this is a parody"
I have the following of his albums:
Poodle hat (newest one he's made so far) Bad Hair day Wierd Al (the first one he made) Running with scissors Even Worse and Alapaloza
Yeah, I like his work.

Yeah he kicks ass! He is a comedic genius, dedicated and he actually has a good singing voice. He used to look like a child molester in the 80's though lmao.

You shoud see his pic on the even worse CD. In fact, I got a pic of it here: As you can tell, he's making fun of Micheal Jackson, but he looks scarier than him in that outfit cuz of those glasses and mustache.

lol! Funny pic! Yeah I listen to his songs. They're quite good. I don't remember the names of the songs I like though. I'll have to check them again.
Also, don't forget AMVs! They use his songs, too.

Haha I listened to a parody of another bites the dust. Weird Al was going "another rides the bus!". I also know a kid who does that to songs. Like "Grillz" he made it about milk. Something is screwed up with him...

I think that my favorite who have to be the "Albacurky" or what ever it's called, song. I loved it just becuase it was so weird, and funny, but my favorite part was that I had a walkman that you could switch the side of the tape you were listening to just by pressing a button, and at the point during the song where the girl he meets out side of the doughnut shop says "You've got weasel on your face" if I pressed the button to flip sides it would be in the middle of the Star Wars Anikan song so if done correctly it would play:
"And we were singin'/you've got weasels on your face"
It was funny and i loved it. I wish I had with me now to hear it once again for a good old laugh.

Yeah, Albequerce tends to be the most well known song for him because its so random and it just goes on and on and on. I know someone who memorized that entire song and a whole lot of other songs by him and he would sing it over and over and over. He's kinda annoying with that, but the good thing is, you could ask him to sing any weird al song, and he would probally be able to.

I know they made a flash for Your horoscope for today on Newgrounds. Actually, I think that's the one that Weird Al himself (along with his band and nephew) saw. Yeah, they sent Tom a compliment for the movie with some pics.

Yeah, those songs do tend to be very catchy. I used to be able to sing half of the ebay song. That is one of his best songs!

Yeah, I hate it when people make crappy remixes of his songs. Acutally, if its a crappy remix of any song, its retarted. Like you ever see that movie Kill Bill? Well, I got the sound track and there is a song called "Bang Bang"
I was in a Best Buy once and I started to hear this song and I'm like, "Oh, this is a good song". But all of a sudden, the base came in and it was all techno. Kinda made me mad that they wanted to make a remix of that song.

Ebay. Reason: It relates to me. I mean, I always worry about feed back, and I like to buy stuff on ebay, and sell stuff. So whenever I'm regestering an item I'm selling, I like to play that song.

First of all, you spelt 'weird' wrong. Just though I'd point that out.
