    I really wish we could get a video to Word Crimes to feature Kelcey Grammer - it would be so appropriate given his recent Twitter activities.

    according to the Comedy Bang Bang podcast... that will be today's video, Word Crimes

    Can I also say I'm super happy Crocs got a shout out in Tacky?

    I'm not a fashionista by any means but those things are just the worst.

    Is it done by the same person/people that did Stop Forwarding That Crap to Me?

    Hard to compare this to Alpocalypse since the whole Internet Leaks thing spoiled half of that album, giving it a weird feel when the album as a whole dropped.

    There's only one song on this polka that I don't immediately recognize. I think, weirdly, I've gotten more plugged in to pop music as I've gotten older.

    My wife has choreography for every single one of the songs on the polka as a fitness instructor, so I knew everything this time around.

    I find myself pausing the Word Crimes video quite often, because there is some legitimately beautiful type formatting that whizzes by after 4 frames.

    So was it mentioned this is probably his last studio album?

    Even though it absolutely makes sense for the kind of stuff he does, it still bums me out a bit that there probably won't be another 'traditional' style Weird Al album.

    Oh man Word Crimes is inspired.

    I'm hoping that means he does year-in-review polka medleys are something.

    Or gets around to some artist-specific ones he didn't have time for.

    I'd be ok with a polka-only album....

    The polkas are the hardest parts of his albums to put together because he has to pay licensing fees

    By the way, I love every costume in Tacky.

    Give them to me, I want them all.

    I almost want to get a group of people dressed up like that for PAX and dance around the convention center with the song playing.

    If I can jump into a new job by PAX I will gladly do this with you.

    I think I'm going to go ahead and say Lame Claim to Fame and My Own Eyes are the clunkers on this album for me.

    My Own Eyes nails the sound he's going for, but the lyrics are just kinda there. Which is maybe part of the point, but it doesn't work for me.

    For me, I like the music in My Own Eyes enough that the song works for me even without taking the lyrics into consideration.
    To be fair, I really like the Foo Fighters.

    He gets the sound spot on. I was immediately pretty sure of who it was even before looking it up.

    I love Word Crimes, because there's finally a version of that song that lets me enjoy the background music without my skin crawling when I accidentally notice the lyrics

    That it's funny is a welcome bonus

    It's not perfect but honestly they shot for the fucking stars with that one

    I figured they'd never even try it because of what was involved

    I don't recall hearing Al sing about it, but did anyone else catch that dig at Prince? Glad he finally got to say something about His Royal Purple.

    It drops a Lost reference on you out of fucking nowhere just because.

    Not just a Lost reference, but a Lost promo reference.
