The album is awesome. "Word Crimes" is probably my favorite but the Pixies style "First World Problems" is also great, and features Amanda Palmer doing Kim Deal-ish backing vocals.



I'm interested in seeing what him being out of a contract will mean. Will his choice of parodies change?

Also, he was one of the first concerts I went to as a kid, and it was amazing. He would get into costume/character for every song.

It's crazy how in that video nobody is wearing or doing anything close to what he lyrics state.

For some reason I thought I'd get laughed at for this thread, so it's pretty awesome that there is a bunch of fans here. I'm also really really surprised about the amount of posts I see on facebook with these videos. People that I would never think would listen to a Weird Al song. The internet is a strange place.

Kind of bummed about no Inactive video and no more Polka songs (possibly, he should just do one at the end of every few years as a recap though...)

It will also be interesting to see how fast he will be able to parody a song now that he has so much competition and can actually release singles instead of full albums.

Since these are all singles, could he possible have 12 songs on top 100?

drat is that all done by hand or digital? Don't really like the song but that video looks like it took ages to do.

I was really upset about 10 minutes in when he showed me the footage from the video and told me I was demonically indoctrinated! Thanks man. Way to fight the power by giving my soul over the NWO Repitillian demons.

Also, if you think this is a troll, just check out the website he links to. If he's a troll, he's put a lot of work on this!

Edit: drat, this guy really has it figure out. Here's my question though. Why hasn't the illuminati killed him yet? He's posted hundreds of videos exposing their activities!

Killing him would prove it's all real.

The Mission Statement video was really good, I loved the art style. I am sad that Inactive didn't get a video, but I think I'll live. Maybe some day...

Inactive was going to have a video but the guy that was doing it never finished it. Hell he barely even started.
