I pulled that from another topic
That I started with a blogpost
I pulled that from an e-mail
and the green grass grows all around all around...
I have been to dozens of concerts. The best was Crosby, Stills and
Nash. The second best was another Crosby, Stills and Nash. The
third best was Weird Al Yankovic. His band is phenomenal. The
concerts are multi-media shows. I've seen him twice. Kirby and
Marty have seen him three times. He's a total contortionist/athlete
and has the best enunciation of any singer EVER, which means you can
actually hear humorous changes made to the lyrics, and there are
costume changes and light show bits and if you get a chance to see
him, you should.

We saw him in concert a few years ago after not really hearing his music for a while. When I
heard "A Complicated Song" for the first time I thought I was going to pee in my pants. The
same when I heard it the second, third, and I think even the fourth time. The humor is so
perfect it hurts. It's worth the price of the album (with other good songs on it) just to get
that song.
For a while my son was doing the "Weird Al curriculum" at our home school. ;-) It was a
blast!

One I think approaches perfection is "One More Minute." Visual
gags, doo-wop, lighting tricks.... it's fantastic. And it's subtle.
One of my favorite songs ever is an old one and doesn't have a
video. It's "Melanie." Sounds just beautiful and romantic and is
about a stalker with a telescope.

The doogtoons videos of Weird Al are fun. There are some interviews
and some cartoons that they do for music videos. My husband loves
"Trapped in the drive through." It isn't my favorite, but the cartoon
goes well with it.

Doogtoons also did animated some interviews with the ninja from "Ask a

My kids have discovered Weird Al this last year and love all his
songs. The Star Wars ones are a favorite. I realized that I must be
getting ahem, older when i don't recognize the songs that he is
making a parody of! That was the case of "white and nerdy". I had
to seek help from a younger, more musically current person to
enlighten me.
The other day we had pulled up to an ice-cream shop in upstate NY
that we hadn't been to in years and I was thinking that it was a long
time ago that we had been here, so I burst out in song and sang, "A
long, long time ago...." (thinking of the American Pie version) and
to my surprise, my kids all responded, in unison "In a galaxy far
away..." (thinking of the Weird Al version). It was so priceless and
funny that we laughed for a very long time and still do - like right
now.
I will have to look up his concert dates. I think that would rank
right up there with heaven right now for my kids!
Blessings,

There is a you tube video about the making the White and Nerdy video.
It's nice to find out the names of all the people in it that I didn't
recognize. I think they also mention that Seth Green is showing his
own action figure collection, but perhaps I heard (or read) that
somewhere else.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGHGk1BBrjk
This is a video of Danny Osmond and Weird Al dancing to the ENTIRE
song in front of a green screen. Much more than the snippets that are
shown in the video. I always thought it was a blue screen, not green.
Donny Osmond is a very good sport, in my opinion.

And for anyone here who hasn't watched it, even if you have no idea
who Donny Osmond is, I highly recommend "Joseph and the Amazing
Technicolor Dreamcoat" on DVD. Don't rent it. You'll end up buying
it anyway.

The third best was Weird Al Yankovic. His band is phenomenal. The
concerts are multi-media shows. I've seen him twice. Kirby and
Marty have seen him three times. He's a total contortionist/athlete
and has the best enunciation of any singer EVER, which means you can
actually hear humorous changes made to the lyrics, and there are
costume changes and light show bits and if you get a chance to see
him, you should.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
ITA! It has been a little over 8 years since we have been to a Weird Al
concert. DH has been to several (before we were together). It was a bit loud
for me because my ears were VERY sensitive when I was pregnant and I was 7
1/2 months along at the time, but other than that, it was phenomenal.
Now I want to look it up to see if we can take the girls soon :)

I love Donny, I have always loved him, from the time I was 11 til now... He was in Vegas (Donny and Marie) and it was the only show that even tempted me to attend... The Weird Al thing (I've seen Weird Al once, at the OC Fair)

You all inspired me - I looked on Weird Al's website, and he's going to be
in my neck of the woods on Tuesday, and we now have tickets!
I also am one who has watched the White and Nerdy video many times, and a
few of the others. Has anyone mentioned his video "Bob," his Bob Dylan
parody done entirely in palindromes? He's brilliant.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsgeTNnYywg
For anyone who hasn't seen the original Bob Dylan he's referencing,
here's "Subterranean
Homesick Blues." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAbtg9dz5P0
I just spent some time reading about that video (the original Dylan one),
and it turns out that the two men in the background are Allen Ginsberg and Bob
Neuwirth. Ginsberg I know, but Bob Neuwirth was new to me, so I looked him
up, and he was also an artist and poet, but his most interesting thing to me
is that he was apparently Kris Kristofferson's inspiration for Bobby McGee!

Kris Kristofferson was one of my grandfather's students at Pomona and
I was very surprised to hear that my grandfather thought he was quite
a good writer (based on his writing as a student, I believe). I
didn't particularly like the song Bobby McGee so my grandfather's
statement that he wrote well was unexpected. My grandfather isn't
someone who typically praises other people.
I just saw the Bob video today and I really liked it. It was hard to
believe all of those were palindromes. Very cool.
I *almost* bought tickets for the exact same concert and got DH
willing to take a day off work to go to the fair and the concert by
roping in my brother to come with us (better adult to child ratio) but
it is at 8pm and my 2 year old typically goes to sleep at around that
time.

I didn't know that. I love the trivial-seeming history that's coming
up on the internet, and on the extras of DVDs, because they're like
the really cool footnotes and endnotes some books have, only you just
click them and they move and talk (either literally or figuratively).
Of Weird Al, though... sometimes one of the phrases from "Bob" will
just come into my head and stay a while. When Holly had pet rats,
she had made a little paper banner to go above their cate that said
Rats Live on No Evil Star. Weird Al didn't make all those up
(though he might've some, I don't know), but he certainly did put
them together well! It's like those guys who do drywall masonry,
only he does it with words. Hardware Store. And one of my favorites
philosophically speaking is Everything You Know is Wrong. I don't
think there's ever been a video, which is good. I don't think he
performs it either, because I suspect it to be a studio trick.
Maybe not, but it seems he never breaths. Maybe he did every other
line on two tracks. It's a mystery. I don't mind mysteries.

I was very surprised to hear that my grandfather thought he was quite
a good writer (based on his writing as a student, I believe). I
didn't particularly like the song Bobby McGee so my grandfather's
statement that he wrote well was unexpected. My grandfather isn't
someone who typically praises other people.

More connections:
My dad was stationed as an M.D. in Germany back in 1962/3. He used to
hang around listening to a "smart, young helicopter pilot" play his
guitar.
After he got out of the army, Daddy saw that Kris had cut a record and
went out and bought one to "help the poor fella' out." <G>
They kept in touch for years until Kris "made it big" with A Star is
Born. I owned all of his albums as a teen. <g> Have a few CDs now. Big
fan.

My dad was a big fan. He said he never cared for Kris' singing voice, but he loved his songs.
I also worked with a woman who, as a child, was an extra in Heaven's Gate (1980).
I recognize him better as an actor than a singer. I usually try to see movies he is in...he's sort of like Sam Elliott. The movie might not be great, but he has interesting presence.

I was up late one night channel surfing when I saw a preview of the
next movie coming up. Billy the Kid. Starred Kris, James Coburn's
daddy, James Coburn, and Bob Dylan----to bring it all the way back to
the Weird Al/Bob Dylan link. <G>
Not a great movie either, and they were all SOOO young! <g> And if you
squint, you'd think you're listening to/watching *our* James. <G>
I stayed up waaay too late that night. <G>
