I wonder if he is AS. He has a very uncanny knack for picking songs apart and reworking them into works of comedic art. I have also heard that he does not associate with people very much. Has anyone seen him live? I don't think I have heard of any concerts he has done, but then again, I don't get out much.

Oh, FFS. Can we please have a thread about a famous person that does not include speculations on whether or not they have Asperger's? :roll:

And yes, he does tour.

I remember watching "White And Nerdy" in English class. Other than that, I'm not that familiar with any of his stuff. I could name some of his songs, but I wouldn't be able to sing them for you.

Whoa there, easy on the emoticons.

We were discussing satire and parody, so the teacher showed us the "White And Nerdy" video.

We never discussed stuff like that in my classes. I wish we did.
I wonder how Canadian Green Day fans feel about Al's "Canadian Idiot" :lol:

BTW Midnight Star was on the In 3-D album

I've seen Weird Al Live. He's amazing live. I've actually got to meet him twice, and I must say he is the nicest celebrity I've ever met.
Here are a few pics I took at his concerts

Weird Al Concert Melbourne, FL in 2004 and 2007

Weird Al Concert Boca Raton, FL July 24, 2010

Backstage with Weird Al

I'm jealous of you marlinsgirl
Steve Goodie parodied Al's "Hardware Store" song. Steve's version is "Dumbledore"

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRRFHX7sOxU[/youtube]

Here's Al's :arrow:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBbDcyqnqHE[/youtube]

I wonder if other people had the balls to parody Al's original songs

Steve Goodie's parody of Hardware Store, is just amazing. The live version is just out of this world.

I've met him a couple of times in person, I know Bermuda the drummer in his bands. Al's a real nice guy, really laid back.

How well do you know Bermuda :?:

Could you recommended me for a Rodie or something

Being an assistant or something for a singing comedian would be a dream come true(well one of my top ones) & Al is #1 out there. The fact that I posted this should prove I have some creativity & weird sense of humor. I work for free room & board

Well it's been more than half a year since I've chatted to Bermuda and the guys, but that's kind of normal really.

As for being roadie/assistant, I really don't know. I'd doubt I'd have that much influence over them but I guess if you wrote a really funny/demanding letter and took some initiative, who knows?

He's a funny and talented guy.
The fact that he has a new CD coming out is news to me.

He released 5 singles off it periodically. I think he started releasing em during last summer. There on an internet only EP called "Internet Leaks". I think he said that if you buy it off iTunes; you will get a discount for the cost when the CD is released
