Weird Al Yankovic appreciation thread.

[aRTie02150]

I normally cringe at counter argument posts, and this is not to be confrontational towards @Sgt. Barnes but I along with others seem to agree that Weird Al is a good egg. Everyone deserves some level of hate, I agree, but some are so low on totem pole that they can be ignored.

Weird Al is a talented man and is appreciated in the music industry and will be known for his contributions in long after he's gone. Many musicians will never have that pleasure.

Again no disrespect to @Sgt. Barnes

I will continue to be your friend.

Yours,

Artie

We house a lot of boomers with absolutely no taste who seemingly go out of their way to miss the bit and ask dumb questions.

I GET BY ON ALL MY PREHISTORIC KNOW-HOW!

Great thread. I agree that @Sgt. Barnes is a fucking asshole with poor taste in music.

I put Albuquerque on the jukebox when I go to a bar if their machine has it

People like Barnes just go on making up the rules any way they want. So what do we do? Sit in the middle and suck on it. We just don't add up to dry shit, Artie.

Dare to be Stupid is my favorite Devo song.

I respect him for not being an outright fag and breaking into the industry the way he has. But I don't find him funny at all, it's all so fucking hacky and embarrassing to me. It's like quintessential nerd humor. I remember in high school that the kids that were into Weird Al were the same fags that were obnoxiously into Monty Python and played Yugioh with each other at lunch.

Listen to the lyrics of "The Saga Begins" and tell me a funny line.

I got a CD of his as a kid, probably in a Best Buy when they still had a CD section, and mustve chosen it cause i liked the artwork

All i know is his songs probably help people enjoy different genres cause i know I would never have given half of the parodied artists a chance if i haven't already heard their parody

Back in Jr. High pretty much any time one of my friends' dad would drive us somewhere he'd play that song. When the "it's good for you!" line played, he'd grab whoever was sitting in the passenger seat by the shirt and scream that part right in their face.

Also, sorry @aRTie02150, but weird al sucks a bag of dicks.

Only Mormons and Manchildren find him funny; other that he's an annoying hack.

@World Wide Web Wyyzrd

Oh do you really want to lose your gay little fan club?

Stay in your own lane little man. Leave Al alone.

I should rewatch UHF even though I can quote it by heart at this point.

And you’re a good beaner, @aRTie02150 Comparatively, I guess.

His songs make you smile!
