    Now you may find it inconceivable or at the very least a bit unlikely that the relative positions of the planets and the stars could have some special deep significance or meaning that exclusively applies to only you but let me give you my assurance that these forecasts and predictions are all based on solid scientific documented evidence so you would have to be some kind of moron not to realize that every single one of them is absolutely true!

    Ah:
    Jeannie of Tokyo, Japan asks: Was "Wanna B Ur Lovr" intended to be a style parody of anyone specific? It totally sounds like Midnite Vultures-era Beck to me, but I was just wondering.

    You’re right on the money. The Prince-like title throws a lot of people, but that song is actually intended to sound like me trying to sound like Beck trying to sound like Prince.

    That's a roundabout way to do it, but it works.

    god I love Midnight Vultures

    hhhhhhhhuh

    apparently most of my al music did not make the jump from my last computer

    guess that's what i get for not taking the time to ensure everything was organized

    poop

    Silly person. You dont have to seriously organize. Just shove every song in a folder called "music". its a bit half ass but your not going to forget anything in a move :)

    Party in the CIA (see above)

    I know it was already posted before, but I love the Conan Tacky bit.

    Because it is honestly, 100% another music video of the song.

    Hmm, top 5 eh? In no particular order:

    Albuquerque
    Hardware Store
    Everything You Know is Wrong
    Amish Paradise
    The Night Santa Went Crazy

    I'm thinking Jackson Park Express might edge one of these out, but I want to give it the test of time first.

    Also this seems like an appropriate time to share one of my favorite YTMND's http://stansellseverything.ytmnd.com/

    If remember correctly, when Al was on one of those behind the music shows, they had to really play up the Coolio thing because his life was so devoid of any real drama.

    well, Al's worked with FoD before so it's not a huge shock

    come to think of it, are the five second films people doing anything now?

    Listened through this, I liked it, with comedy albums they typically need a few listens for me.

    Jackson Park Express is phenomenal.

    They're still working on that "Dude Bro Party Massacre" movie I think, and once in a blue moon a new 5sf pops up.

    Definitely. Like, if this actually is his last proper album, he picked a hell of a track to end that chapter with.

    I just... can't listen to Trapped in the Drive-Thru. It's too awkward for me.

    As for the top 5 thing, it's really hard. There tends to be some variation for the Weird Al tracks that make it into my iTunes Top Rated. Right now it's mostly newer stuff (I think the oldest song on there is Since You've Been Gone) but I change it up every few months.

    I am rather angry that not only did Miley manage to develop a rather long-lived music career, but somehow went through a metamorphosis into something even worse.

    Too bad Even Worse has already been taken as an album name.

    The audio is awful, but I love how just...balls to the wall crazy this performance was

    i...i really like Jurassic Park from Alapolooza.

    the original MacArthur park is just so out there, and then Weird Al makes it about dinosaurs and it suddenly makes sense.

    I went to Billboard's site and couldn't find Al anywhere in the top spots.

    Then again I don't really get Billboard so whatever.
