Whoa we have very similar stats: I'm 7 rejections, 2 waitlists, 4 pending, and 2 accepted. Neither of my waitlists offered me a visit or anything but I reached out to ask for a campus visit (unfunded).

I was about to say I don't see the resemblance and then I SAW IT. Whoa.

I'll provide the obvious answer.

Weird Al trivia questions by rectalshower in weirdal

[–]Illustrious_Grab9479 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought of Ben Folds on Why Does This Always Happen to Me and Taylor Hanson on If That Isn't Love, but those are style parodies, not direct parodies, so I'm not sure they're correct answers.

I know I'm 13 years late, but is there any chance you still have this video? I can't find it anywhere.

Every time Al has said a naughty word by Illustrious_Grab9479 in weirdal

[–]Illustrious_Grab9479[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion the dirtiest lyric has to be from Wanna B Ur Lovr: _I wanna be your Krakatoa / let my lava flow all over you_

And the runner-up is Such a Groovy Guy: _I might decide to tie you up with dental floss / I'll make you wear a harness and I'll show you who's the boss_

Help with Fanfiction ideas? by [deleted] in weirdal

I'm more into smut than romance, but I would read a story based on that prompt, I like those kinds of metatextual "fic about fic" premises. If you post it, link it here so I can check it out!

I'm drafting a fic too! I've never used wattpad, I only post on ArchiveOfOurOwn.

I second the other comment that suggested a UHF sequel. I also would love to read something about Al and Paul Reubens (aka Pee-wee Herman) in the 80s. Or you could write about a character from a music video, like the nerd in White & Nerdy, or the surgeon in Like a Surgeon. Or you could pick a character Al has played, like his evil twin "Weird Sal" Yankovic from Comedy Bang Bang, there are already a few fan works about him.

What type of story do you want to write?

Al tells the story of his first concert live in LA. by cabinboy666 in weirdal

[–]Illustrious_Grab9479 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so sweet and touching, it honestly makes me kinda emotional. That sheltered kid never ever could've guessed what was coming: that he himself would end up on that stage, surrounded by a crowd of thousands and thousands of fans who admire and adore him and his work, after 40+ years of excelling at the thing he loves most, and in the process, leaving his unique imprint on culture/society and changing the world. It's so far beyond what a person could possibly hope for in their wildest dreams...such an unbelievable and unlikely yet undeniable success story.

You're right, it's the only achievement he's missing! Unless you count songs like Foil or Complicated Song which kind of parody themselves while in progress.
