Smiley How's everyone doing. This is my first post in this, or any forum for that matter, so I hope it's ok. Basically I would like to hear from people who know, listen, like, or even dislike "Weird Al" Yankovic. I am one of his biggest fans and love to talk about him. Are any of you guys going to the Orange County fair to see him? I know i'll be there. Have a favorite song or a song you would like him to make a parody of in the future. I would love to hear allllll about it. Hope to hear from some of you soon. -MXP :cool:

Hi Max,
 
Im not a wierd al fan in particular, but I can remember when he did some spoofs on Michael Jackson and those were pretty funny.
 
It sounds like you are going to have fun when you go and see him, I am sure that it will be a great time.
 
Take care,
Kramer

I'm a fan of Weird Al, and have owned a couple of his albums in the past.  I especially love his polka ensemble songs at the end of each album.
 
I thought the behind the music episode on him was great.  I found it interesting that Nirvana said they realized they had finally made it, because Weird Al did a parody of them.
 
Here's an odd bit of trivia.  The album with the song on it, Nature Trail to Hell (a song making fun of movies like Friday the 13th) was recorded during the time when there was a lot of hysteria about satanic messages being recorded backwards into albums. The belief at that time was that backwards messages would affect the subconcious mind and turn everyone into satanists.  Obivously this all turned out to be bullshit.  Wink
 
At any rate, because Weird Al enjoys poking fun at everything, in the middle of the song Nature Trail to Hell, there is some backwards talking.  If you actually  play it backwards (which I have) he says quite clearly, "The Devil eats Cheese Whiz".   :devilish:

BTW, one of our other sites is http://www.musicfanclubs.org
 
If you haven't been there before, you might check them out.  I'm sure there are a bunch of other Weird Al fans there too. Smiley

I love Weird Al.. am disappointed that I haven't heard anything from him lately.   I know he takes his time between albums, but his song about Episode 1: The Phantom Menace (to the tune of American Pie) was so brilliant that I hoped he'd do another one for Episode 2.. but I guess even George Lucas is too fast for Al.  Too bad.
 
The past couple days I have been writing song paradies of my own, and while I'm no Weird Al I had a lot of fun.. give it a shot if you've never tried it.
