Most of you have no doubt already seen Weird Al’s latest. It cracks me the hell up, possibly in part because my boxing teacher is a big fan of the original song.
Steve’s comment: “At this point, he’s had a longer career than many of the people he’s parodied.”

The worst thing is, many of the things they say? So remind me of my best friend.

September 28, 2006 at 7:42 pmi love weird al. i need to start buying his music again, and next time he comes to town I’m seriously planning on going. Funny thing, though, I prefer his original songs to most of his parodies. Probably because his parodies are all of top-40’s pop/r&b stuff, which I never liked to begin with.

September 30, 2006 at 8:38 amHis ability to mimic new music styles continues to amaze me. And his parodies still have a way of supplanting the original in my mind. I can’t hear “Smells Like Teen Spirit” without expecting a cow’s moo in the chorus (from “Smells Like Nirvana”: “We’re a garage band from Seattle/ But it sure beats raising cattle! [mooo!]”)
