  1. Hey, @georgetakei — what's the story with this photo I stumbled upon? Definitely some awesome weirdness going on.

  2. “This rhyme comes out of nowhere and I think it will break the reader’s immersion.”

    Listen, you didn’t notice the reference to a Weird Al song earlier in the manuscript, but if you had, you may have guessed that I’m not too concerned about immersion.

  4. 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.

  9. This is a recent cover of #RATM's "#KillingInTheName" by the band #PortugalTheMan

    With guest #JormaTaccone

    And... is that...

    Yes it is

    That's #WeirdAlYankovic

    Singing "Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses"

    Light comedy, family friendly, Disney approved, #WeirdAl Yankovic

    (But look carefully: he belts out the "I won't do what you tell me!" but skips the "Fuck You")

    No more "Weird" Al Yankovic

    It's the I'mFuckingSeriousYo Al Yankovic era

    He is aware, bless him
