This is one of my all-time favorite Weird Al songs.
Yeah, I’m actually a big fan of both Alice In Chains and Weird Al. LOL I’m even one of the “Close Personal Friends Of Al” (not really, that’s just the super cool name of his fan club).
I saw Weird Al in concert years ago. It was one of the best concerts I have ever seen, hands down, and I have seen a LOT of concerts. He actually changed into the costumes from his music videos, and he walked around in the audience to sing “One More Minute”.
Elf and I got to meet Weird Al and his band afterward, and they were all great. The band in particular was fantastic, and actually hung out with Elf for a while, to take goofy photos. That was cool, especially for Elf, who was only about 12 at the time.
So here’s a shout-out to Al’s security guard Mongo, who got me the passes to the meet’n'greet after I explained to him in front of The Florida Theatre, on a lunch break from defending murderers and all kinds of truly nasty critters, that my son is a huge Weird Al fan. After the show Mongo was actually onstage looking for me, to give me the passes, and of course I wasn’t very hard to spot since I have long red hair. Thanks a million, Mongo!

Darn it, that wasn’t intended to be embedded because I knew embedding was disabled. However, WordPress won’t let me even just put in the link. Argh.
Remove the space from this, and it should get you there:

(WordPress is turning into a real pain in the rear end, since they dumbed down the way to post YouTube videos. Argh again)
We saw Weird in concert too and, you’re right, he’s phenomenal — every bit the rocker
That is cool but the video isn’t showing up.
We saw an interview with Weird Al on VH1 several years ago that was hilarious. He talked about how his career crashed in the late 90’s and he got had huge coke problem. Yep he was up to 2 six packs of Diet Coke a day.
LOL, Dee! I just love Weird Al. He’s great.
You have to go to the link to see the video, by the way. It can’t be embedded.
