    edit: He's doing a video-a-day thing, so I coralled them all in here

    I think my partner wants the t-shirt with the pink hands on it.

      Love the song (then again it's an extremely short list of Wierd Al songs that aren't on my "love the song" list) but some of the people in the video should NEVER do lip sync again. Margaret Cho for example. Yeesh!

        On the weird al front, I've been known to start humming Weird Al's "beer" when I've had a free moment.

          Word Crimes is even better than Tacky. Haven't had a chance to get the CD yet, but I'm really looking forward to it.

            The lip syncing may not be the greatest, but considering the video was done in one long take, I'm not going to criticize that too much. I spent more time look at the backgrounds than at the garish outfits chosen for the video.

            As for "Word Crimes," I can finally listen to the music from "Blurred Lines" without having to listen to the lyrics. (I'd say more on that, but it's better left for fratching.)
            "I look at the stars. It's a clear night and the Milky Way seems so near. That's where I'll be going soon. "We are all star stuff." I suddenly remember Delenn's line from Joe's script. Not a bad prospect. I am not afraid. In the meantime, let me close my eyes and sense the beauty around me. And take that breath under the dark sky full of stars. Breathe in. Breathe out. That's all."

              A new video is up on YouTube - this time it's a parody of Lorde's "Royals". It starts out pretty cheesy, but do hang on - it gets HILARIOUS at the end. (Celeb cameo of the day is Patton Oswalt)

              A theory states that if anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for, it will be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

              Another theory states that this has already happened.

                        It's a great album. Mission Statement, one of the originals, would resonate with my members on this board.

                          'Word Crimes' is a veritable goldmine of references. I've been able to find references to Simpsons, UHF, Homestar Runner, and Alanis Morisette.

                            Because They're Tacky

                            The song and video of Weird Al Yankovic's "Tacky" reminded me of some of the tackiest sports uniforms in recent memory. Two different sites have their picks for the tackiest uniforms.

                            Warning: These outfits might cause your eyes to burn.

                            PS: I would put Scotland's Commonwealth Games Uniform on those lists, too.

                              I didn't really get the humor in today's video ("Handy", supposebly a parody of "Fancy"), but perhaps it's because the original song is mostly played in the US? (Either that, or I'm just an old fart)
