yes that's right. Weird Al has a new album called "Weird Al, Poodle Hat." here is a review. Link here: http://att.eonline.com/Reviews/Facts....html?attmusic

"Whether you dismiss him as a novelty act or praise him as a smart satirist, there's no denying that Weird Al is always good for a laugh. And even for the jaded, there are quite a few laughs on his latest album. His song "Couch Potato" turns Eminem's "Lose Yourself" into a biting critique of television, "eBay" changes the Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way" into an ode to the addictive auction Website, and "The Trash Song" serves as his reworking of Nelly's "Hot in Herre" (it also makes a good argument for recycling). When he's done with the pop charts, he takes on bands like the Strokes, System of a Down and the Hives with the drinking song "Angry White Boy Polka." Totally weird, totally fun."

I can't wait to buy it. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I can't wait to get it, I have already heard 3 of the songs on there - his newest polka, a parody of Avril Lavine "Complicated" and a parody of Eminem's "Lose yourself"

Damn good

<font color='white'> All I have heard of off is a song called 'Genius in France'...Is that a paradoy of a popular song or is it something he made up on his own? </font>

He did the Eminem parody on a late night show last week. Dang, Wierd Al can rhyme like the best.

He is consistently awesome!!!! I cant wait for the new album and a TOUR!!!!!

I’m on my way to Wall-Mart to get it.

I am only slightly embarrassed to admit I have all his albums.

I am slightly more embarrassed to admit that I remember when his first one came out.

<font color = lightgreen>Unlike IronDragon, I am not embarrassed to admit that 1) I have all of Weird Al's albums and 2) I also remember when his first album was released. [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]

Weird Al, whether you like him or not, is an extremely talented artist. His vocal control is quite good, and his band is more versatile than most, having played in almost every musical style at some point.

It's a shame that there are not more satirical musicians out there. Satire is the highest form of humor, which is why I enjoy "The Daily Show" so much. </font>

He's more of a comedian than Al, but he's funny as hell.
