At Vanguard? I thought about going to that but couldn't convince myself.

Re: The Weird Al Yankovic Appreciation Thread
I loved his live show, but don't have any interest in his albums. The few songs I have never get played. I'm glad he's still making music, and hope the best for him, meaning more live concerts.

Re: The Weird Al Yankovic Appreciation Thread
^Well then you should be happy. An album usually means touring to support said album.

Re: The Weird Al Yankovic Appreciation Thread
I met Weird Al last year at one of his concerts. He autographed my CD. He didn't charge anything. A true class act.
Has anyone heard what the track listings are for his newest album? |
Re: The Weird Al Yankovic Appreciation Thread
Apparently the lead single will be a parody of Iggy Azalea's "Fancy"
Al was caught on video recently backstage at one of her shows asking her permission. Other than that, nothing has leaked that I know of. |

By the way, I’ll have 8 – that’s right, 8 – brand new music videos… and I’ll be world-premiering one every single day for eight days straight, starting on July 14! Get excited!!! |

I counted the soldiers. I counted the airplanes. Neither total 27. Disappointed.

Re: The Weird Al Yankovic Appreciation Thread
This appears to be the tracklisting from Wikipedia (linked to itunes):
"Handy" "Lame Claim to Fame" "Foil" "Sports Song" "Word Crimes" "My Own Eyes" "NOW That's What I Call Polka!" "Mission Statement" "Inactive" "First World Problems" "Tacky" "Jackson Park Express" Any speculation as to paradies based on the titles? Let the guessing begin!!!! |
Re: The Weird Al Yankovic Appreciation Thread
I'm calling "Foil" as a "Royals" parody.
|
Re: The Weird Al Yankovic Appreciation Thread
I would guess "Handy" is the suspected Iggy Azalea "Fancy" parody
|
Re: The Weird Al Yankovic Appreciation Thread
I'm personally hoping that Tacky is a Happy parody. :thumbsup:
|
Re: The Weird Al Yankovic Appreciation Thread
I'd guess "Inactive" to be some parody of "Radioactive"
|
Re: The Weird Al Yankovic Appreciation Thread
Weird Al posted on social media that there are (will be) 8 videos. I am guessing half of them will probably be animated?
Can't wait to see 'em :) |

Can't wait to see 'em :) I can't wait. I wish he was doing a parody of Team instead of Royals (assuming that's what it is). I'm wondering what song is a parody of a popular 90s group that Patton Oswalt alluded to. |
Re: The Weird Al Yankovic Appreciation Thread
Based on his recent video output, I would expect at least 6 or 7 of the videos to be animated. Last album we only got the one live action video (Perform this Way), but I think there was a video for every track on the album (even the polka medley).
Pretty sure the previous album (Straight Outta Lynwood) only had the one live action video too (White and Nerdy). |

Oh, and he's playing

"Tacky" = "Fancy" "Foil" = "Royals" Those are the only ones that I can think of. "NOW That's What I Call Polka!" is probably most likely a mix of popular songs as usual. |
Re: The Weird Al Yankovic Appreciation Thread
I am thinking Tacky is Happy
|
Re: The Weird Al Yankovic Appreciation Thread
Nah, I see a "Happy" parody being the lead single. That's "Handy", for sure. Especially with the clapping in the dances I've had the <s>misfortune</s> pleasure of seeing.
|
Re: The Weird Al Yankovic Appreciation Thread
"Word Crimes" = "Blurred Lines"
"Inactive" = "Radioactive" ? |
