Just found out last week that he will be playing at the Northwest Washington Fair in Lynden, so I think I will go see that. I've lived near there all my life, yet have never been to a grandstand show there, and only ever went to the fair two or three times that I can recall. Last time was probably in high school.
His website shows a 110-card limited edition trading card set. I don't even collect the cards, but...
Well, I bought my ticket a couple days ago to see him on August 17.
Shouldn't Al be doing a Lady Gaga medley about now? He could call it the "Polkaface Medley" and substitute "Oom pah pah!" for that little hook in "Bad Romance". Could you imagine Al doing a take on all of that crazy woman's costumes??!!!!!
No.
Weird Al has too much taste to touch that talentless tramp.
I'd beg to differ. He's parodied lesser groups than that. Ummm... Milli Vanilli, anyone?
Let's list (LISTS... :drool: ) some of the artists of whom WAY's done parodies (not counting "style" songs):
- Michael Jackson
- Madonna
- Milli Vanilli
- Robert Palmer
- Chamillionaire
- R. Kelly
- Greg Kihn
- Toni Basil
- Joan Jett
- James Brown
- U2
- Survivor
- Avril Lavigne [sp?]
- Tiffany
- Billy Joel
- Billy Ray Cyrus
- Billy Idol
- whoever sang "Macarthur Park" first (Richard Harris? Donna Summer?)
- whoever sang "Lola"
- Red Hot Chili Peppers
- Coolio
- Green Day
- Back Street Boys
- Taylor Hicks
- Cyndi Lauper
- The Presidents of the USA
- De Barge
- MC Hammer
- Huey Lewis & The News
- Rolling Stones
- The Knack
- Fine Young Cannibals
- The Offspring
- Don Maclean
- P Diddy
- The Police
- Nirvana
- REM
- Men Without Hats
Many of those are "one hit wonders" or flashes in the pan. I don't know if she's even pan flash-worthy; I put her in the same category as Marilyn Manson (edgy on purpose, but mainly a waste).
What about Crash Test Dummies?
Nice job with the list BCJ, that coves a bunch of them (not counting the polka medley people).
That would be The Kinks.Quote:

I blanked out on the Kinks.
