Jae Onasi Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 I've never even heard of Stephen Lynch, but I love Weird Al so maybe I should check him out. Actually Al has a new album done I think and it should be released soon. There's a free song download at his site, http://www.weirdal.com. It's a parody of a song I know from hearing my mom listen to the radio but I can't put my finger on it. "You're Beautiful" by James Blunt Too funny! I loved the Star Trek uniform thing and the 'you live with you're mother and you're 42' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSR Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 wierd al is the s**t. i absolutely love "pretty fly for a jedi"... outcast has been outdone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Obi-Wan Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Well, I am happy somebody found this thread. Weird Al is absolutely awesome. I enjoy his music. I have some songs on my iTunes list. I intend to get more. It's quite entertaining to hear the songs he re-creates. He has some great songs that are about Star Wars, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Jimmy Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 yea those ones are the best, I looked on wikipedia that Jimmy Page (to those who don't know who he is: Lead Guitarist of Led Zeppelin.) is a fan of his music but refused to let him use his music for one of his songs. (If Jimmy did let him, I would give Al the lyrics to a parodied song I posted in the fan fic/art section called "Goin' to the Star Forge" which originated from "Goin' to California".)

Jeff Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 wierd al is the s**t. i absolutely love "pretty fly for a jedi"... outcast has been outdone...I'm pretty sure that is not a genuine Al song, instead one that somebody did and credited to him. I've never heard it, and he already has "pretty fly for a rabbi" so i doubt he would parody the same song twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSR Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 it was originally "pretty fly for a white guy"by outcast, but theres a few more pardoied versions out there i think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard it, and he already has "pretty fly for a rabbi" so i doubt he would parody the same song twice. I double checked his discography and Pretty Fly (for a Jedi) is not on Weird Al's list. When I googled the song title, it popped up with The Offspring (or Offspring Lyrics) as the artist. So this one's not a Weird Al song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lion54 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 "Amish Paradise" is my favourite Wierd Al song. All his stuff is good though. I also like "Phony Calls." Its a parody the TLC song "Waterfalls." It wasn't one of his more popular songs, but I like it. His first hit is still good too. "Another on Rides the Bus." He's got some great parody songs, though I wish he'd do some more original work. I always thought half his albums are parody and the other half original. (Greatest Hits and the like not included.) I know its the case with "Bad Hair Day." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 He does have a pretty good amount of original work on his albums, but I don't know what the actual ratio is. Some of my favorites are originals, "Genius in France" and "Albuquerquie" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Obi-Wan Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Yeah, "Pretty Fly for a Jedi" wasn't credited from Weird Al, and same with a done of other songs. "Amish Paradise" is my favourite Wierd Al song. All his stuff is good though. His first hit is still good too. "Another on Rides the Bus." That are two of my favourites by him. They're definitely awesome. I also like some of his songs that he make fun of some of Eminem's and Nelly's songs. Like Trash Day (Hot in Herre) and Couch Potato (Lose Yourself).

Darth InSidious Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 He's about as wyrd as a slightly bent spoon. The beast and his armies shall devour the unpancakelicious and throw their unrighteous remains in the fat pits of eternity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
