The Weird Al Yankovic Appreciation Thread

[Death From Above]

Man there are officially more fake Weird Al fans than fake Expos fans now.

Two questions about this Weird Al as the half time show...1) Who has the tv rights 2) what record label do they own

[Brian Fowler]

NBC.  I think Universal owns several record labels, but I have no clue which ones, or which Al is on.

 

(But didn't he sue his label a few years back anyway?  And his contract is up with this album...)

Yeah but they arn't going to put a singer/band on the half time show that isnt going to make them money

[Brian Fowler]

Shut up with your logic.

This will probably have just as much impact as every other online petition ever. . .but, you know, what the hell?

Have Weird Al Yankovic headline the Super Bowl XLIX Halftime Show

Went ahead and signed it.  I don't think it stands a chance, but then again he did have the top-selling album so who knows?

I'm amused that the Maron-Hardwick "feud" now transcends multiple shows.

Since I'm not sure if anyone else posted it here already.

The fact that the man managed to work "W.A.P." into a polka medley says that we're dealing with a level of musical genius that I can't even begin to fathom.

U2, Micheal Jackson, Madonna and Al only artist with top 40 hits in the 80's, 90's , 00's and 10's

Been on a Weird Al kick lately and one thing about getting older and more knowledgeable is that I really appreciate some of his songs more. "Dog Eat Dog" and "Here's Johnny" are becoming favorites. Polka Party is becoming my favorite record of his. 

[zendragon]

I'm partial to his really weird dark originals like "Melanie" and "I remember Larry"

Weirdly the only time I've caught him live was during his ill advised vanity tour
