. . . And the incredible frog boy is on the loose again

Weird Al doesn't get nearly enough credit for his non-parody material.

Midnight Star and "The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota" are my two favorite WAY songs. :)

My brain is now playing "Everything You Know Is Wrong." Thank you.

I've been old-school today. Started with "Midnight Star" (of course), moved on to "Nature Trail to Hell," and now I'm listening to the "Theme from Rocky XIII" (a parody, but one of his best).

"Nature Trail"....in 3-D! That's one of my favorites. Old-school, indeed. That album (yes, I had it on vinyl) was in heavy rotation back in the day. ;-)

That's the first album I ever bought.

"Hardware Store" is possibly the most incredible piece of recorded music I have ever heard. The guy is one of the world's greatest musical geniuses.

hmmm, i don't think Hardware is that good.

Ebay is my fave on Poodle Hat.

Well what about "Albuquerque" then?

[unwilly.livejournal.com]

Yah, Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhlbequericueeee!

[xforge.livejournal.com]

Oh and mustn't forget "Your Horoscope for Today!"

Further.....

"Hey. You got weasels on your face."

How right you are! I am not sure I can pick a fave. I do love "Ricky", though.

I always liked his style parodies too -- where he'd go after a particular group's sound.

But "Biggest Ball of Twine In Minnesota" is hard to beat. I remember a time when "One More Minute" was a regular on the call-in show on Sunday nights.

(Need to look at my Al playlist again...)

I just love Weird Al. Two of my fav non parodies would have to be "You Make Me" and " Dare To Be Stupid". One of my fav parodies would have to be "Gump". He does have alot of talent, no question. More than I think he gets credit for.

Midnight Star is my FAVORITE Weird Al song, hands down.

Strictly speaking, we're meant to be buying musicals, not pondering just how difficult it would be to complete a Weird Al back catalogue. (Though the real problem is that we still have to go into a music shop and buy Bad and Even Worse in the same purchase. Call it an odd affliction.)

[unwilly.livejournal.com]

I read it in the Midnight Star~

Al is a genius.

[glowkitty]

i've gotta give props to You Don't Love Me Anymore, Melanie, and Harvey the Wonder Hamster.

[phantom_wolfboy]

I totally agree.
