Skipper Dan and C.N.R.

New single from Al, came out a week or two ago.

It's fun song, and quite obviously a Weezer style parody. (ok, I guess maybe it's not. It kinda sounded Weezerish to me, but I don't know that much Weezer stuff anyway, so let's just say it's a general Alternative style)


And now here's CNR

Kinda White Stripesish, I think.

So that makes 4 songs now that have been released online. Slowly working toward a full album.

    A friend of mine was like, 'hey, wanna go see Weird Al?'
    I was like 'sure'.
    He never ended up getting tickets. It was sold out when I asked him if he got tickets.

    I was listening to it and stumbling in other tab.

    I ended up getting bored.com. It was very fitting. Because this song is fucking boring.

    Played out is a pretty dumb term to apply to a guy who just had his first platinum single and the best selling album of his long career.

    seriously, Straight Outta Lynwood is one of his strongest albums ever

    I love "Don't Download This Song" so much

    especially the music video

    This new song sounds like a Jonathan Coulton song.

    I don't mind Weird Al, but I wouldn't put any of his music on my iPod. His stuff is funny to me once or twice and then just eh afterwards

    I'd say Skipper Dan is in the style that's about as close as you get to "Al Yankovic" style.

    Yeah, but it'd be a bit redundant to say "This song sounds like a Weird Al song"

    People were talking about how it sounded to them and it specifically reminded me of a Jonathan Coulton song, but I can't really remember which one.

    Plus, The Geek said it's "very obviously" a Weezer-style parody, but the only Weezer-style I hear is the guitar, but nothing else about the song reminds me of Weezer at all

    ...I don't see an issue with this.

    If you like their music you like their music.

    But the difference here is that Larry the Cable Guy is not a Public Speaker, he's a comedian.

    Whereas Weird Al Yankvoic and Tenacious D are both musicians. That write and perform music.
