THE 'WEIRD' THOUGHTS/OPINIONS/NEWS

Friday, 09/12/25:

Some fan had a novel idea - how about an extreme "up close and personal" boxer shorts? haha.

Al's epic "Bigger and Weirder" tour is winding down, and I heard it'll end at the end of the month. He'll be due for a nice rest afterward. But we're looking forward to any future parodies or songs in the works.

Sunday, 09/07/25: What is "Real Music"?

In a recent interview or article, Weird Al went to say that some fans went up to talk to him and gave him a back-handed compliment - "I didn't know you could play real music" or something to that effect haha. Let's see - Al is a virtuoso on the accordion, he can compose and spit out lyrics in "Hardware Store" in which any other singer wouldn't be able to enunciate unless you sing at a snail's pace haha, he can compose rhythms and bars! If that's not real music, then pigs can fly.

It's cool to see "Bad Friends" hired a Weird Al fan as a replacement haha.

Sunday, 08/24/25:

Al in an insurance commercial? Sign me up haha. He might be day-dreaming again (not flipping burgers this time).

Monday, 07/21/25:

You never know what might happen at a Weird Al concert. The "Bigger and Weirder" tour is exceeding expectations from what I've seen and heard, consistent high-energy fun. However, there might be a few snafus - the recent technical sound glitch, or - showing the world that you're tone deaf haha. "10 Seconds of fame"? or "10 Seconds of embarrassment". It's more the latter. Hahaha.

Call him, "The Tone Deaf Guy" - voice cracking completely off-key, making Bobby Lee sound like an opera singer. I suppose there's a few of them "tone deafs" in every state:


Monday, 07/14/25:

Al's concert performance at MSG just made the arena "famous-er". Or "more famous". Or whatever. Haha. Call the Grammar police for word crimes against humanity, I failed Grammer school.

MSG is known for high-energy fans who can match the energy of the performer themselves, often knowing all the lyrics as well. It becomes a one, big sing-a-long. And a dance-a-thon. Billy Joel concerts have everyone standing, dancing and singing. Haha.

Speaking of which, it would've been swell had Al performed to "Ode To A Superhero" in its entirety as an 'Ode to Billy Joel" since he's an icon at MSG.

Instead of "One More Minute", I would've opted for "I'm So Sick Of You" haha. But I guess that song is more insulting. Definitely the intention of that, but some deserve it:
"And when you softly call my name it's like listening to a squeeky chalk sound, and when you look at me that special way it's hard for me to keep my lunch down. And when you ask me what I'm thinkin' honey usually I'm thinkin' how I'd really like to tie your head completely up with duct tape so I wouldn't have to listen to you asking me those stupid questions over, and over again!"

Sunday, 07/06/25:

Not only does Al have his own pinball machine, he has his own classic NES game! My favorite level has to be waiting 8+ hours at the DMV office, with Al at the back of the line. You should mash Button A - perhaps that'll get the goddamn line moving faster. Yep. It sure is realistic. Hahaha.

Also - I'd go "Rambo" as well over them network exec's asses for bad programming.

Thursday, 06/26/25:

The good ole Fat costume is back! (glasses and all) haha. The iconic parody has returned for the tour, and you can only find snippets or clips from fans. If you want to enjoy the entire concert or most of it, you'll have to attend one. "Word is out, better treat me right. Cause I'm the King of Cellulite. Ham on" hahaha:



Parodies not peformed but wished were performed: Perform This Way, Couch Potato:
"Look. If you've got. One shot. To sit on yer lazy butt (I sure am haha). To watch all the TV you ever wanted (not yet since there's nothing good on - had to cancel it). Til yer brain turned to mush (it already did. or I just have a 'relaxed brain' haha). Would you go for it? (oh hell yeah)". hahaha.

Saturday, 06/14/25: It Has Begun

The "Bigger and Weirder" tour kicks off in Vegas. Here's a snippet from a fan:



C'mon, Al - include "Hardware Store" in one of your set lists.

Wednesday, 06/11/25:

"The Volcano Worshipper's Club". Hahaha. I guess I can't call myself a real fan for not knowing this. Or that Prince turned Al down gajillion times. "$19.99" would have made for a great parody haha (one of the rare instances where I'm a fan of the original). Word has it that there is also the "The Polar Ice Caps are going to all melt and flood the earth!" club. Thank god for Jimm-aay for pulling out unusual tidbits from a guest's past. Haha.

We owe a debt of gratitude to "Weird Owl" for making weird the new normal.

AL's CULT CLASSIC CORNER

If Anyone Can, The Cabbage-Man Can! muhahaha

Or The Outer Space Cabbage Guy. Or The Extraterrestial Who's Supposed To Be A Cabbage muhaha. In an "Amazing Stories" episode back in '87 (called "Miss Starlet", which happened to be the series finale after cancellation. Thanks, Al! muhaha) Regardless, he's a representative from outer space as a spokesperson or spokes-"cabbage" for an interstellar pageant on Earth. Al has had cameos here and there back in the day, but before "UHF" hit the air, I'm sure a lot didn't know that he starred in a full episode of a fantastical program. Neither did I muhaha. Until I went back and happened to stumble upon this episode while watching other "Amazing Stories" episodes. I laughed my ass off at this one, I guess I know why the series was cancelled now, considering the direction it was going in muhaha

Well, I guess that sums up Al's television career muhaha (AL-TV and The Weird Al Show notwisthstanding).



And Then There Was...Or Only Was: UHF!
"I'm your worst nightmare". In what is arguably the funniest sequence in the film, George Newman fantasizes that he's Rambo and rescues his pal Stanley (AKA The Kramer Guy) from the vile clutches of the network honchos. In becoming 'Rambo', you can't be a Rambo unless you are greased out or roided out with muscles, and that weird mouth contortion that only Rambo knows how when he does his primal scream muhaha. But other than that, UHF has fine programming indeed.

UHF is a cult flick that has a strong following along the lines of 'Office Space' and 'The Ringer'. It was panned quite harshly upon release all those years ago, and I guess that's how some of the lyrics from 'I can't Watch This' came to be muhaha. But sometimes, some of the actually good films are ones that go under the radar and become a cult hit. 'Harold & Kumar' is another example of that. "UHF" is the story of an underachieving TV station created by a menial working guy named George Newman, and it was going down the tubes until a certain janitor guy (AKA The Kramer Guy) made a certain segment hilarious bringing ratings up muhaha. The rest of the movie is filled with parodies and hilarities that only Weird Al knows how, including a parody of Dire Straits and the film's UHF theme song.

Well, that sums up Weird Al's acting career muhaha. Except perhaps a cameo here and there. He's been more successful with TV, including 'The Weird Al Show' and 'AL-TV'. I'm sure fans would've liked the idea of a "UHF 2", perhaps a direct-to-itunes or DVD kind of deal instead.

OTHER/MISCELLANEOUS:
Music videos are a dime a dozen these days. In other words, not many good ones at all muhaha. But Weird Al had a knack of making not only hilarious parodies, but spot-on parodies in video form either equally hilarious or even more. Playlists are fine, but videos are even better muhaha. Some 'fine' examples of his back in the day include 'Eat It', 'Fat' and 'Amish Paradise'.

With that said, that was the '80's/'90's and present day is today. Al doesn't have the time to make those kinds of videos anymore. And probably doesn't even have the energy as he ages and has a family life. They are now created either through computer-animation or just badly photoshoppin' or editin' himself over digital imagery muhaha. They feel rushed and not as funny, but they still work. Case in point, all his recent vids including "Perform This Way". But if ya don't like them,, he can just tell ya where to stick it muhahaha.

Let's go back to nostalgic times, and here's a random "Video Of The Day" for this site:
