it has been a long time since i've listened to alpocalypse and the thing that TMZ is teaching me is that Taylor Swift makes songs that are criminally catchy.
like the melody and the way the lyrics move into each other, you could be saying anything and it would get stuck in your head.

Thats pop, man
I confess to actually liking some of Katy Perry's older stuff because if nothing else the production on it made so damned catchy
Even the original songs are all pretty clear pastiches of specific bands (and sometimes, specific songs). Germs is basically Closer even though it's not a direct parody. Ringtone is a Queen song that never was. Al channels the ghost of Jim Morrison in Craigslist. etc.
Never got into drugs or sex addiction or anything like that.
While he's not legally required to get permission from the original artists, he does it out of respect.
Won't attach his name with beer or cigarette products because he knows a lot of his fanbase is underage.
And this is probably one of the best examples of Weird Al being a cool dude for his fans:
Several hours after his wife notified him of his parents' death, Yankovic went on with his concert in Appleton, Wisconsin,[42] saying that "since my music had helped many of my fans through tough times, maybe it would work for me as well" and that it would "at least ... give me a break from sobbing all the time."

Wait, did both his parents die on the same day?
Yeah
Carbon monoxide poisoning from a gas fireplace
Holy shit that's rough.
For whatever reason if you're super funny, god apparently hates you
Some of the most upsetting stories in hollywood are about comedians, especially their childhoods.

Well I think you probably develop a better sense of humor if you grow up rough. But no Weird Al had a wonderful life and everything I've seen about his parents seemed awesome, this is just a cruel twist of fate.

I'm glad that architecture thing didn't pan out for him.
Smells Like Nirvana will always and forever be my favorite Weird Al parody.
And it's probably nostalgia talking here, but The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota is my favorite original of his. I have the whole damn thing memorized to this day and my friends and I used to sing it on trips to goddamn everywhere as a kid.
After I moved to Silicon Valley (to pay the bills with my mad programmin' skills, of course), I realized that it can be kind of fun to roll down highway 101 here past all the towers and corporate headquarters (eBay, Intel, etc.) and blast All About the Pentiums.
Also I've also always been sad that "clocks" never caught on as slang for megahertz.
I just looked up the lyrics to All About The Pentiums expecting it to be a dated mess but really it's somehow still not, aside from mentioning Pentiums of course.
A hundred gigabytes of RAM is somehow still ridiculous overkill.

Well, a flatscreen monitor 40" wide isn't nearly as preposterous as it once was.

Yeah now they just call those a TV. If you have one on a desk that's impressive but yeah.

Half of Weird Al's output is original music.
IT'S THE CEREAL SNACK THAT YOU EAT WITH YOUR HAND

I tell ya, you ain't lived until you've seen Albuquerque performed live.

I GOT MY TRAY TABLE UP
it was some big fat hermaphrodite with a flock of seagulls haircut and only one nostril
man, I hate it when I'm right
Key and Peele.
But yes.
And Donny Osmond!

This was one of my least favorite Weird Al songs as a kid.
I realized some years back how very wrong I was.

Wait, isn't a T1 line just 1.5 Mbps? I.e., slow by modern standards?
