Well, six songs is half an album, so he is making progress :D

seems that way to me. So maybe some time next year we will get a new one.

Hurry up Al. Your adoring fans are tired of waiting and we need new things to talk about.

Yeah, all of my family hates me for playing that one incessantly :)

Yeah, it was the Alternative Polka and Since You've Been Gone this morning, while I was having a shave.

I was really belting them out, with the accoustics of the bathroom, coupled with my monster stereo.

Since you've been gone is a good one to sing in there since it was done without music and just vocals. (I know the word for it but I can't spell it. So I'm not going to even try)

been a whilesince I checked his site. I had better do that soon to see about an update.

Since you've been gone,
Well it feels like I've been chewin' on tin foil (on tin foil)
Since you've been gone,
It's like I got a great big mouth full of cod liver oil (cod liver oil)
Well I'm feelin' like I stuffed my hand inside a blender and turned it on.
You know I've been in a butt load of pain (yeah)
Since you've been gone (Well, since you've been gone)

(Since you've been gone) I couldn't feel any worse,
If you dropped a two ton bowling ball on my toes
(Since you've been gone) it couldn't hurt any more
If you shoved a read hot cactus up my nose.

Since you've been gone,
It feels like I'm gettin' Tetanus shots every day (shots every day)
Since you've been gone
It's like I've got an ice cream headache that won't go away (won't go away)
Ever since the day you left me,
I've been so misereable my dear
I feel almost as bad as I did
When you were still here.

Great song. One of these days, I might use it as a break up tune for myself. I did with a few friends for a girl who got dumped and then started stalking. (I was the bass line)

You know the song which is called "Star Wars Gangsta Rap", it's used in a submission here on Newgrounds, "Star Wars Gangsta Rap: SE"... What I am wondering is if not the song in the submission is a remake made by the authors... is it?

I know what you are getting at. No it's not a weird al song. Many funny songs are credited to al in the net when he hasn't made them.

He does not take the credit, he posts on his site some examples of this and then tells you to check his song catalog to find what songs he actualy did.

Many lesser stars would just take the credit. One of the best features of Wierd Al is that he doesn't

Hmmm, it's wierd that the people who make those songs don't credit themselves in that case. =S

But I guess they might be fans who think Al deserves the credit. I don't know. =/

Seems like a pretty swell guy then. I remember "him" being in an episode of "The Simpsons" before. Heh. Is he wellknown in U.S.A.?

Al might have inspired them to write the parodies, but who knows.

Very well known. Just watch one of the Naked Gun sequels. (I think it's 2 1/2)

Haha, okay. I'll keep an eye out for that!

Well, the shirt is lound enogh and I wouldn't really say he's that missable anyway.

He's also in the third one, going to the award show with vanna white.

on the credit thing: The reson his name gets put on as teh author for those other songs is that's what the people who originally put them on the web listed. They became wide spread so even when one is correctly labeled it's hard to find. Lots of them came out when file sharing became popular with napster and kazaa

Another new member. I have many of his albums and I hope to post in this topic daily.

hell i'll join weird al is fantastic

Welcome to the club guys...nice to get some new members in here so hopefully it won't die so much

yeah it has a habit of being really active for a while then going into hibernation.

since we have some new people: Which polka is your favorite?

Well, we had the gap between his Christmas specials and his 'summer hits' (anything non-Xmas, really)

since we have some new people: Which polka is your favorite?

My favorite Weird Al songs have to be "Smells Like Nirvana", any of his medelies, and "Spam".

yeah the nirvana parody is one of my favorites too. It's also one of my favorite video's.

which music video's of his do you guys like the best?

Smells Like Nirvana has the best video, but Amish Paradise is also an excellent video.
