New Weird Al album in September
 

"Straight Outta Lynwood"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight_Outta_Lynwood

I just came across this while browsing Wikipedia. His own website really doesn't even give out any information about it other than it's due to hit shelves on Septembet 26.



I hope this isn't a disappointment since hip hop is kinda gay. :(

well i love the concept anyways :(

In case you guys didn't notice, you can download "you're pitiful" from the new album at weirdal.com

ooops. Apparently it's not on the album. But hey, It's still a new song.

I don't listen to the songs that he parodies, therefore they won't be as funny as they could be. :( Ah, well. The videos should still be funny.

I actually prefer his originals to the parodys.

In his more recent songs, I'll agree with you.

Sheeee-yit, son.

"Mr. Frump in the Iron Lung"
"One More Minute"
"Buckingham Blues"
"Happy Birthday"
"Stuck in a Closet with Vanna White"
"You Make Me"
and of course
"Good Old Days"

All of those came out at least 19 years ago, and they're brilliant. His originals have always been better than his parodies. In my opinion. Which is correct.

Weird Al is probably the absolute main reason why I love the bands that I love, since some of his style-parodies totally rocked my socks.

"Dog Eat Dog" = Talking Heads
"You Make Me" = Oingo Boingo
"Everything You Know Is Wrong" = They Might Be Giants

I had obsessions with these songs long before I even discovered the corresponding bands he was trying to mimic.

I sorta like the B-52s, but "Mr. Popeil" sucks. >:

And I didn't know "Genius In France" was supposed to be Zappa's style until long after I started to dig Zappa music, but I don't like "Genius In France" all that much. :(

New album in three weeks. :(

"Dare to be Stupid" made fun of Devo, right?

uh huh

It has been said that your band isn't truly successful until Weird Al has made a parody of song based on it. Truer words have never been spoken.

And speaking of his original songs, I'm disappointed that none of you have mentioned "The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnessota" yet. That song RULES.

:lol Fucking impeccable.

So does that mean Chamillionaire is truly successful? :(

I think my favorite original is either Franks 2000" tv or Young, Dumb, and Ugly. Yeah they're both on the same album, but I like that one.

i hate him and everything he does :(

OH YOU

Track list :eek

I think it goes:

OH, YOU!

Wierd Al sent the White and Nerdy music video to Albino Blacksheep.com.

Here's his video for "Don't download this song"

I bought it. :)

I haven't yet but I will by next week. I've heard mixed reviews about it ranging from "disappointment" to "greatest one so far".

A review please, Dr. Vulturewarts :eek

I've never heard any of the songs he parodys in the album but his originals are great. Also you get animated videos for half the songs on the album. :love Weird Al :rock
