Awesome. I need to buy the album, listen to all of the songs, and also I need to learn all of the lyrics.  

If you haven't heard Weird Al before, well you need to listen to this and all of his earlier work, and keep in mind that he is talking about all kinds of events and parts of American culture, and about people in general, from different times in recent history. The lyrics are the most important part of his music and they are almost always hilarious.

There are 12 songs on the CD and only 5 of them are parodies of other songs. Seven of them are original songs made by him and his band. The new song "You're Pitiful" isn't on the CD (why? I don't know*).

Here are the songs...
1. White And Nerdy
2. Pancreas
3. Canadian Idiot
4. I'll Sue Ya!
5. Polkarama!
6. Virus Alert
7. Confessions Part III
8. Weasel Stomping Day
9. Close But No Cigar
10. Do I Creep You Out
11. Trapped In The Drive-thru
12. Don't Download This Song

*Note: Wikipedia said this about "You're Pitiful".

"You're Pitiful", a parody of James Blunt's hit "You're Beautiful" was recorded for the album, but was removed at the request of Blunt's label, Atlantic Records. The song was then released as a free-for-download single on the Internet in June, 2006. Yankovic then went back into the studio and recorded two new songs, "Do I Creep You Out" and "White & Nerdy",[5] to make up for "You're Pitiful".

Wiki also said...

Yankovic had wanted to record a parody of Daniel Powter's Bad Day for the album, but Powter initially refused. Powter then changed his mind "literally the day before [Yankovic] went into the studio to record White & Nerdy," at which point, according to Yankovic, "the train had left the station."

Love the album cover. Love the song titles. I have to hear some of the songs! Interesting story about why "You're Pitiful" was released free on the Internet but not put into this album. Would have been nice to have it on the album but at least we all got the chance to get it :-). I can tell I'm going to have to listen to these a few times to learn the lyrics so I can appreciate the song more.

Yeah, Some of his songs you don't automaticly love right away; you have to listen to the lyrics all the way through sometimes. His song "Hardware Store" was like that to me, but now I like the song!

P.S. You comin' over friday Kev?

Wow thanks for the video link, the video was awesome as usual and the lyrics were great as I expected from Weird Al Yankovic : ).

[Scott]

On his site there is an AMV of "Hardware Store" featuring "World Of Warcraft". If you can't find it, I can get you a link.
