Al's first instrument was the accordion, and he learned to play polkas initially. On each album he includes a medley of songs rewritten as a polka. I highly recommend checking those out.

One of the things I love most about Weird Al is that he's so genuine. A friend of mine met him in Ocean City Maryland, and they got to talking. Weird Al told my friend that he was having computer issues, and since my friend is an IT wizard, he volunteered to help. Without hesitation, Weird Al invited him back to the hotel where he was staying, and my friend fixed the problem. They have been friends ever since. Whenever Weird Al comes to town, he calls my friend and gives him tickets and a back stage pass so that they can hang out for a while. I love that Weird Al is a real person, and that he doesn't let celebrity change who he is. He is still the geek that recorded a song in the bathroom. He never forgets his roots. And he is definitely a genius.

I've said it for years, but there's a reason Weird Al is great as a rapper. He is trained mostly in polka. Polka, if you have ever listened to it, really is white people's rap. Good polka can be spontaneous, witty, jabbing, or any other energy and it has a lot of the same energy as any freestyle rap battle (just a bit cornier but that's fun too). Anyway, Weird Al is awesome, and I love this one. Thanks for your awesome reaction to another of his songs.

For going with my suggestion, I'll tell you that Weird Al got his career started in 1976 after being 'discovered' by rather eccentric radio host named 'Dr. Demento'. As for where Al was discovered, it was recording 'Another One Rides The Bus' (a parody of Queen's Another Bites The Dust), using the tile walls of the mensroom at a local college as his personal studio. The two had a battle of wits and Demento liked Al so much that he got Al a spot on his show.From there, he's done well over 10 albums (14,to be exact) and only recently hit the #1 billboard album with the 2014 best-selling album, Mandatory Fun. He's been nominated for 16 Grammys, won 5.

People get crazy defensive when I call them out on who or what their pronoun is referring to, especially when it turns out they literally don’t know.
@daveenglish23584 жыл бұрын
I rarely get to call anyone out on improper pronoun usage and the like, because I get hung up attempting to correct them on whether to use "saw" or "seen", and saying "He and I", instead of "Me and Him". Some individuals get defensive, but, most act dismissive, because just about everyone they know talks the same way they do, so it must be right. Very few are appreciative. Lol, you would think that people would want to be grammatically correct, but, alas, you can't expect much when you hear authority figures, including teachers and principals saying, "I seen....".

It Must Have Been Love-Per Gessle & Agnes Carlsson. Marie died in January (Brain Tumor), she was with Per as a member of Roxette for over 25 years. It's a live song that is done well enough to bring tears.

I am a linguist. Those verb changes like I be doing something or mine's be are part of black English which has valid consistent meaning, normal language changes. That's why them nurses be talking like that. It's not ignorance, it's just not the queen's English. The participle drop is common, I seen instead of I have seen is simplification of form. You may not like it but it happens. Aint used to be the correct use of it's not but now it aint.

This might be my favourite Weird Al song. It's catchy, clever, funny and educational. *Literally* the total package. It was also notable in that I think this was the first time someone (at least someone this big) basically put their entire new album out for free. A track a week on youtube, I think? Anyways, yeah, the man is a genius and a legend for sure.
