    Re: Let's talk Weird Al Yankovic

    Always bought his albums/tapes when growing up. Have a boxed set of his music that I got about 14-15 years ago. Used to have a VHS tape of the movie "UHF," which I still think is hilarious.

    Actually saw a concert of his at Kings Island about 5-6 years ago. I was a little hesitant to go, in all honesty. My friends and I were the most normal looking people there. The folks there were a little strange, especially the guy in the crowd who looked almost exactly like him carrying posters and such to have autographed.

    A few of my favorites:
    Dare to Be Stupid
    Smells Like Nirvana
    Trigger Happy
    Eat It
    One More Minute
    MLB: Cincinnati Reds
    NFL: Cincinnati Bengals
    NCAA Hoops: Xavier Musketeers
    NCAA Football: Miami Hurricanes
    NHL: Calgary Flames

      Weird Al is great. Gotta feel for a guy that lost both his mom and dad on the same day, too.

        Dude's a genius. I used to love listening to him. Don't really know what happened after that...

            Weird Al is the man. You know you have arrived when Weird Al parodies your song.

              I just LOVE his stuff. UHF is my favorite Weird Al movie. Here's my favorite part:

                He's pretty funny. When I was a kid I thought he was the greatest, but as an adult he doesn't get me to laugh out loud...maybe a smile here and there...He has his own niche for sure, but I don't think his parodies are that great.

                The thing I can't stand about him is that I have NEVER seen the guy outside of his character. It would be nice to see him drop the stupid goofy act every once in a while.
                The line must be drawn HERE! This far, no further!
