The fuck.

he woulda had me at hello if he sang it without thinking he was funny. The only people who could get away with "hey looka me i'm weeerd" was Devo, also from Ohio.

Anyone can hook stuff together - let's see him rock a slinky.

if you want to hear something really F'd up, there was a band in 2000 called Self who recorded a whole cd with toy instruments and aside from the overwritten funk tunes, the noises are a real mindlube.

Hm, I didn't get a self-conscious vibe like that from him; it looked to me like he was just having fun.

it's the glasses!!! probably why Weird Al isn't funny either. same thing with Alan Greenspan.

damn glasses.

Al hasn't worn glasses in years. He got LASIX!

[changeng.livejournal.com]

is that why he quit the Federal Reserve?

Not that Al!

He went on tour, and the results were not pretty.

and remember the famous tampon incident at the Troubador? Al is shameful.

I agree. He should be completely deadpan, even with the glasses. It would be much more interesting (and paradoxically, more funny) if he created soome sort of dead-serious character for his performance. Other than that, way cool!

He's not from Ohio..he's from Long Island.
