hip-hip-hooray, it's Weasel Stomping Day!

[Darren Dirt]

One nerd interviewing another.

Garner Andrews was/is so lucky.

Did anyone else hear Mr. Yankovic sharing the secrets of his dark genius with Our Folksy Charm Hero Of The Airwaves?

Worth being late for work...

[Mr. Analog]

No, but I wish I had!

[Darren Dirt]

Well, you didn't, so keep wishing! ::pttth::

Don't you have an annoying but witty saying about "If wishes were..."


PS: Apparently he was on the 91 BouncingCrap radio station as well -- is he touring through Edmonchuk or sumtin?

[Thorin]

Yeah, I heard it on the way to work.  Great fun!

list of songs



Weird Al's "Polkarama!" -- with Futurama voices?! (pretty cool vid done by a fan -- I presume the actual song is Weird Al singing, not Zoidberg and Kiff Kroker (and Hank Hill)...

Also "Virus Alert" (...lol, the lyrics describe the woe of most Microsoft workplaces, and the tune reminds me of Rush and Queen


Other Weird Al videos -- most of which were presumably ripped from the DVD, some of which are fan offerings...
"Polkarama" -- Al's vocals, this time set to the original artists' videos

"I'll Sue Ya"

"Pancreas"

Close But No Cigar

Don't Download This Song **Al makes this song available for free download!

"Canadian Idiot"


- - -

finally: funny, fascinating find: "The Not Al Page"

[Lazybones]

The not Al Page is interesting, because I have come across many songs tagged as Al that I didn't think where.

[Darren Dirt]

omg! "Yankovic announced on his website that he is teaming up with YAHOO! Music to make a fans-only video for White and Nerdy. The deadline for submissions to Yahoo! is October 26th."


also, re. the classic and contagious "Virus Alert!" -- more info on the animator/director David Lovelace

[Darren Dirt]

I'm not sure if I even want to rent this movie -- after watching Ninja's "review"

^ Speaking of Ask A Ninja, this brilliant cartoonist "Dogtoon" (or is it Doogtoon?) did one or two collaborate animations, and they were frickin' hilarious.

Well, look what's on his Youtube account -- he did some stuff with Weird Al!

related/confirmed/explained: Alfred Matthew Yankovic goofin' with Tom Green

[Darren Dirt]

"Our Hero" now has a YouTube account, I guess the one Official Place for his videos... (apparently linked from his MySpace page so ya know it's legit)

and hey look, White and Nerdy: Take 1 (green screen, single-take) (even funnier when you tell your brain that Donny Osmond is Silent Bob and Weird Al is Jason Mewes )

looks like they also posted the green screen version with the final vid overlay
