    Weird Al Yankovic, Dare To Be Stupid, 1985 on Scotti Bros.

    This was the third studio LP from Weird Al, produced by Rick Derringer. Mixture of paradoes and “style parodies” which don’t copy specific songs but a generalized look and feel – like “Dare to be Stupid” which is in the style of Devo.

    Apparently he approached Prince about doing a parody of “When Doves Cry” but Prince refused. (Yankovic could do these without permission but prefers to only do them with the participation of the originating artist). I do wish Prince had consented.

    My copy, via Beatnick Records in Montréal Québec, is a Canadian pressing (Don Mills Ontario plant) manufactured and distributed by CBS Records Canada Ltd / CBS Disques Canada Ltée.

    I adore libraries and am currently working on a long term project of trying to visit and write about every one of Toronto's 100 branches and the neighbourhoods they serve. Here, for example is the Don Mills neighourhood and its library. gooutsidetoday.com/2018/10/24/
