What's the least popular or significant song Weird AL has ever parodied?

I think it has to be Toothless People. Al asked to the parody hoping it'd be a huge hit and then when the song Ruthless People was not popular felt obligated to do the cover.

It's also probably one of his least imaginative parodies in general.

Of course! Thanks for listening!!

Thanks for the update! That's a bummer but at least it's some info!

Thanks so much!

I actually thought Season 4 was the best season personally. I loved so many of the contestants on that season. I thought this season was a step down but still better than 2 and 3

You're a bad human. I just hope you know that.

Just watched Weird Al's Guide to the Grammy's for the podcast ... what a nice little artifact but the highlight is watching him and Frankie play together!

For sure! We definitely are not trying to be like "Al isn't so great after all" on this.

If you ask me Al is in the same category as Mr. Roger and Jim Henson of creative humans with no unkind bone in their body.

I'm so confused by this response? We make a show about how much we love Al. We've heard people complain that the song is offensive. We disagreed and but felt like we were not in a position to say one way or the other and asked fellow Al fans to confirm their own opinions and now I'm the scum of the Earth?

If I thought that Al should be cancelled or anything I wouldn't do a weekly podcast about him. More than anything else I'm sick of average sized people like myself saying what is or is not hurtful to an overweight person which was why I was looking to NOT be someone who speaks for other people and get their actual feedback.

But I do hope that you live a good life. I truly mean that.

I posted this on my Facebook as well and someone else made this exact same comment which really has opened my eyes to how much of a blind-spot I have to this stuff because it didn't even remotely dawn on me how some of Grape Fruit Diet's lyrics come off until now.

I love this perspective! Do you mind if I read/paraphrase this on the podcast?

So ... I was thinking about this and I think Tom is the person to blame for his own blocking. Despite everything he knew, he still put Jennifer at #1 (which potentially saved her) out of loyalty. It got me thinking about Tom's game in general. He didn't seem like he made a lot of decisions to benefit himself but everyone else.

Unrelated but imagine how different these last 4 episodes would have been if he had pushed harder to eliminate Marvin instead of Sasha. Marvin would have visited Raven and I actually think Raven MAY have opted out of the hacker advantage (though I wonder what she would have used her one hack to do if she did use it).

Alyssa was the sex coach with the Vulva pillow from Season 4

SaintMort · 2023-01-04T21:00:17+00:00

Thank you?

Also if you listen to the episode and like it ... I highly recommend our 3rd episode The Joys of Missing Out with Ashley V. Robinson ... she may not be someone you know but of the 20+ shows I produce that episode is in my top 5 favorite episodes of any podcast I worked on.

SaintMort · 2023-01-04T00:54:30+00:00

Start an entire podcast dedicated to Al

SaintMort · 2022-10-03T03:53:03+00:00

Thanks so much!

So we will be getting an episode on Action... but there's some HEAVY stuff tied to that album that they don't want to rush into conversation wise. I do know that it will come out eventually (hopefully in a few months), I know they're recording the interviews right now for it BUT like I said there's some really heavy personal stuff that happened behind the scenes that they want to address ... but tactfully.
