| Monday I listened to the radion in the car.
They were talking about the first European show of Weird Al Yankovic in Europe.
They played some of his songs.
I like his songs.
The cover of famous songs like Michael Jackson's "Bad"is now called "Fat".
I'm sure Weird Al has a lot of fans in the US.
Is he only making covers of famous songs? |

| No, Weird Al writes a lot of originals too. He is a great comedian that doesn't have to be vulgar to be funny. He is weird, though. Regardless, he is a great musician and comic.

| I'm using You Tube to find more of this songs.
I always like it when people as Weird Al is changing songs.
I like his songs much more than the original songs.
On the radio was a bit of a song he made from a Madonna song.

| I like his version of Bohemian Rapsody of Queen.
He's funny.
When I see his face I have to laugh. |

| Me and my buddies watched his Cult Classic movie "UHF" at least 30 times - this movie NEVER gets old.... so funny. ("Kramer" was in it before he was even known [Michael Richards])
I got a few songs by him. You hafta be careful though, cuz there are a lot of songs that are wrongly attributed to him, and yet he had nothing to do with them. In fact there's an entire website listing all the songs he supposedly did and they show who really did them (some ppl gotta lotta time).
I think he's hilarious, talented and respectiful in that he's stayed relatively clean with his material. Kudos to the guy ! (He also appreciates ApologetiX, though he does not adhere to their beliefs, nevertheless he has given them shout outs.... One of ApologetiX band members is also a member of Al's band too)
