Yeah thats funny,at points when Al's talking it sounds like Frank Zappa.Thanks for a laugh. His Michael Jackson stuff is tops
Sarena
That's priceless.
But his polka mash ups are my favorites.
the title of "Angry White Boy Polka" alone is funny.
knowidea
I know there were 20 people behind me in line...
but I was on a cell phone call with my mother. LMAO
NP

Been passing that around.

Don't think anything is sacrilegious with Jim... comedy... Dante wasn't consulted.

Ha ha heh hah.

Alsatian before The Doors
Hey NP,
That's Ray Manzerek on those keyboards! Playing like 40 years ago. Listen and you may drift right back to The Doors.
Weird Al is so funny, and he makes a touching tribute really. How many songs did you hear in this? There is When The Music's Over, obviously, but I think Al got the timbre of Riders On The Storm in the rhythm of his voice. And Twentieth Century Fox is there too, kinda....look....

Well we shared a quick glance
Saturday at the mall
I never took a chance
Never approached you at all

Well she's fashionably lean
And she's fashionably late
She'll never break a scene
She'll never break a date


see? same rhythm.
Course, there's Road House Blues there too

Be bom ba chomb cadonk bin bam boo!


Don't you think Light My Fire is also there, in the keyboards, with Riders On The Storm again in the raindrop notes? And then there's the close-to-the-edge-of-breaking-thru guitar, like sudden ripples in a still pool, as in The End.

Well, that lady in the golden dress moves dreamy, entrancing, and Ray wrote that part especially for the way she moves. That's what I think. Sheri told me she is in slow motion, but I don't want to believe her. But that's ok, it's all good...

Baby C'mon......yeah...

Very cool that Ray contributed on the keys for this.

I think you caught all the songs that were in there, I can hear shades of every one that you mentioned.

My favorite part is the spoken word in the middle

An open letter to the snotty barista at the Coffee Bean on San Vacente Boulevard:
I know there were twenty people behind me in line,
But I was on a cell phone call with my mother.
Didn't you see me hold up my index finger?
That means I'll order my soy decaf hazelnut latte in just a couple minutes.
So what's with the attitude lady?
No tip for you!


Weird Al did a great job capturing the shallow and rude side of L.A.

Cool I had been looking for this. I had an MP3 of it years ago.

" If you become a Doors fan, Love Her Madly is the only song you won't like."

" There's a burden every real Doors fan must live with. That's the fact that the greatest rock and roll band of all time is never going to play live again. You can't live in the past... ."

Great
