Anyone picked this album up yet? ****ing funny as hell with parodies of songs like "Ridin' Dirty", "Confessions, part I and II", and "American Idiot" so far so good
Check out the Chamillionaire remix (White and Nerdy): http://www.zombalabelgroup.com/whiteandnerdy/wanecard.html
yeah that was the ridin dirty parody, good stuff too edit: wish they'd post confessions part III, hilarious ****
Got my copy at circuit city for 9.99. It was supposed to be 16.99 but it rang up wrong, and I said nothing. Awesome CD.
Parodies aside, he has really good rhythm and keeps pace the whole song. I knew that song was going to be funny, but didnt think it would be both funny and good. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back Weird Al
When I heard he was going to parody Chamillionaire, I said "no way in hell can he pull this off". lol. I was wrong. This man is genius...
It is amazing what he can pull off. I ordered my copy from Amazon yesterday, but have heard the whole album. No need to talk about how as we don't need this topic moved to the D&D.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Weid Al is the 3rd best concert I've ever been to, behind Pink Floyd and nine inch nails. Al's got SERIOUS energy onstage, and there's no denying he has musical talent. After all, it's hard to recreate somone else's sound and style as exactly as he does. I'll be buying my copy (legally, can you believe it! ) when it comes out.
I'm curious where this one will hit on the charts. Much more publicity than Poodle Hat, and an awesome video out. This could be the biggest CD for Al since Off the Deep End.
Unfortunately, Eminem did not give permission for Al to do a video to "Couch Potato" (Al's remake of 8 Mile), so there was no vid for Poodle Hat.
