Or… something. Still not quite sure what this is. But listen to it too much and you just might be reaching for a glass of whiskey, a gun and two bullets.
So here is “Taste The Biscuit” by Toasters ‘N’ Moose…
I would thank Scott Bradford and Kristen Bradford for finding this, except I’m not all that clear about what it is that I would be thanking them for…...
It’s not a good sign for Broadway’s most beleaguered show when none other than Grover is mocking it…
That’s a promo for Sesame Street and it’s forty-second season, beginning in September! Would LOVE to see this as a full-length sketch 🙂...
It is the eternal question: “What if Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy DID marry and have kids?”
Now we know…
All I can really say to this is: Heaven help us if the folks at Rovio Mobile ever see Avenue Q! 😛

Thanks to fellow blogger Scott Bradford for a great find! 🙂...
Yesterday, June Twenty-First, Two Thousand and Eleven… was a date which will live in hilarity! It was almost five full years coming, but at last we “Yankovictims” (that term will make sense once you watch the accompanying DVD) got a new album from the crown prince of parody: “Weird Al” Yankovic!
Yes folks, the Alpocalypse has cometh!
I drove more than an hour and a half yesterday afternoon so a group of friends could party like true Al-oholics and enjoy listening to Alpocalypse together (contrary to rumor, Twinkie wiener sandwiches were not served… although they were contemplated during the planning stages).
So, what sayeth this life-long Weird Al fan? Alpocalypse was well worth the wait. And going further than that: this is some of Al’s freshest and most vibrant material ever. I must confess than when Al began releasing many of the songs from this album two years ...
Here it is! The so very wrong and yet so insanely right music video for “Weird Al” Yankovic’s parody of Lady Gaga’s hit “Born This Way”. Here is: “Perform This Way”!
Weird Al’s latest album Alpocalypse streets tomorrow! Can. Not. Wait!...
Yes, it really is! I even went out late yesterday evening along with good friend/fellow blogger and Eagle Scout Steven Glaspie to be at the local GameStop for the midnight release, just to behold it with our own eyes.
But that wound up not being good enough. I had to have some tactile sensation of it as well, so I bought a copy of the standard edition.
And though I hadn’t planned on it, I wound up shooting and then editing together a lil’ film to document the event for posterity. This is the first time that I’ve ever put together a movie with an iOS device. May this be the first of many more to come 🙂
Anyhoo, here is… Vaporware Nevermore!
We are now just over three weeks away from the Alpocalypse!!!
Y’know, I’m still giggling more than is probably good for one’s health about how Weird Al has taken the place of Famine among the Four Horsemen 😛
So many people tried to access “Weird Al” Yankovic’s online store yesterday that they crashed the server!
And no wonder…
– Alpocalypse CD/DVD ($13.99)
– Alpocalypse CD ($10.99)
– Alpocalypse Deluxe Package ($29.99)
– Alpocalypse Super Deluxe Package ($99.99)
Most people will probably go for the CD/DVD set, which includes the standard music disc and a DVD containing music videos for ten of the songs. The Deluxe Package includes all that plus a limited edition 18″x24″ gallery quality Alpocalypse album art lithograph. And the Super Deluxe Package? It has the CD, the DVD, AND a limited edition SIGNED AND NUMBERED cover art lithograph, and also a “highly limited run 4’x4′ Alpocalypse ...
Good friend Deborah Taylor (who was previously known as Deborah Wilson 🙂 and her husband Dennie found this uproariously funny video and I just had to share it with y’all…
Y’know, Benny Hinn is known for pulling off mind tricks. And didn’t he once claim he could keep people from dying, just like Darth Plagueis was reputed to be capable of? Maybe there’s something to this….
I’m only wondering what should Hinn’s Sith title be. “Darth Pantene” perhaps?...
Pestilence. War. Death. Weird Al?!?!?
Anyone else think it’s funny that the man famous for so many song parodies about food has taken the place of Famine among the Four Horsemen? 😛
(Gotta love the use of Orff’s “O Fortuna” too!)
Save the date! June 21st heralds the coming of Alpocalypse: the first original album that “Weird Al” Yankovic has produced in five years! And behold the album cover art!
Best. Weird Al. Cover. Ever!
And on a happy note, Al has announced that his parody of Lady Gaga’s hit “Born This Way” will be on the new album after all! Not only that but “Perform This Way” will be hitting iTunes on Monday. Turns out that Lady Gaga loved Al’s spoof (it was all a misunderstanding or miscommunication or something).
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, slouches toward Lynwood to be born? The Alpocalypse...
…according to Weird Al himself on the song’s YouTube page, this song will not be part of his forthcoming album! In Al’s own words:
This is my parody of Lady Gaga’s song “Born This Way” — which, I’m sorry to say, will NOT be included on my upcoming album. I will give the details of the whole Gaga saga (and offer free mp3 downloads of the song) on weirdal.com very soon.
If this is at Lady Gaga’s insistence, I hope she will come to realize that to be chosen by Al to be the subject of one of his parodies is an extremely high honor! I mean, when Weird Al marks you for spoofing, it proves that you’ve achieved musical immortality: more so than getting a Grammy, in my opinion.
Well anyhoo, here is “Perform This Way”:
UPDATE 1:29 p.m. EST: Al has posted his account of what happened ...
