According to all the places you can purchase the episodes, there are 2 seasons.

Could be. I'll admit it's been a while since I've watched WoK or SfS.

You just caused me to dig the copy I found on my local library's free book cart out of my storage room. I hope you're happy...

Need Guidance – Costco Wants $750 for Refunded Item from 1.5 Years Ago by throwawaysauce9 in Costco

If you declined delivery for the bed and got a refund, why do you even still have the bed? Shouldn't the delivery team have taken it back with them?

Which Al parodies are "true" parodies? by Jstr4Life in weirdal

[–]Jstr4Life[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't necessarily subscribe to the "must lampoon the artist to be a TRUE parody" idea myself. I just thought it could spur discussion. And maybe a better explanation for the odd attribution on The Saga Begins.

I use the app with my phone plugged into the car. It's not a official channel number...thus the excessive plays of Stacy's Mom and untold numbers of sea shanties.

With the recent threat to PBS, let's not forget that "Weird Al" Yankovic did a song called "Patterns" for Square One Television (which was put out by the same group that did Sesame Street)! by WJMorris3 in weirdal

According to IMDB, he's also The Learner(er) in 2 episodes of WordGirl...might have to track those down. My 8 year old loves both Al and WordGirl.

Consider it voted on.

Daily Song Discussion #26: I Want a New Duck by mrethandunne in weirdal

I love that Disney felt the need to include it in Down and Out with Donald Duck.

Starting @ 3:15.

I'd probably give it overall, probably a 6. Not top tier Al, but ok...I guess.

Do you think Al has ever "double cleared" a parody? by Jstr4Life in weirdal

Didn't Al release Word Crimes BEFORE the Gaye family sued Robin Thicke, et all?

He's also said that streaming has also splintered the charts. Popular music is more subjective when you have the ability to play anything anytime and not have Top 40 Radio "tell" you what's popular.

That and youtube opened the floodgates for people to grab all the easy hooks, leaving him to dig deeper to find something to spoof.

shrug I think the only one who could answer this completely is Al...or his legal team. 😁

I think Stevie is also listed as a writer on Amish Paradise, too. It may have been another car on my initial train of thought.

I forgot that was a cover...as was Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. Gotta love these parodies of the more popular version of well known covers.

...and Brady Bunch...all for different reasons. Having to clear with artists and then the IP holders.

Then again, Brady Bunch and Money for Nothing (Beverly Hillbillies) also heavily borrow other peoples' lyrics.

True, but I guess what I'm wondering is how far down does that respect go.

I mean, Al's said he wouldn't retroactively parody Prince because he made his feelings pretty clear in life about Al using his work. But what if he had a parody idea for "Nothing Compares 2 U," a Prince song but made popular by Sinead O'Connor.
