POLL: "Weird Al" Yankovic in 3-D

"Condo" low key informed my opinion of condominiums well into my adulthood.

I think “Midnight Star” might be the strongest Al original in terms of songcraft and arrangement and he probably could have been an 80s college radio star even if he wasn’t funny

Yeah that seems right but I voted sentimentally for Nature Trail To Hell as the first song I really “felt” (as a 12 year old boy interested in horror). my gateway to music.

Al's originals are better than people tend to give him credit for. "Frank's 2000" TV" from Alapalooza is just a perfect power pop song, a cleaner jangle and a more innocently optimistic lyric than the source material (REM?).

I feel this way about "Don't Wear Those Shoes"

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

so difficult. my faves have changed over the years, sometimes based on a single lyrical phrase that jumps out that i didn't really notice before. going with jeopardy.

love the fact that lisa popeil sings backup with him to this day. hasn't he kept the same band basically this whole time?

I saw a young dance troupe dance to this song three years after the album came out. they were embarrassed because they were dancing to a song about a 2000 inch tv.

great song.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

You're a complete looooooserrrrrr

I LOST ON JEOPARDY
BABY

"King of Suede" deserved at least a vote or two.

James Holzhauer changing his Twitter avatar to Weird Al in the "I Lost on Jeopardy" video after his reign ended was pretty funny
