You know, I never liked Weird Al. Except in UHF and Naked Gun.

That album cover must be parodying something.

Any ideas what it is parodying?

Yes, that's what the title is parodying. Al grew up in Lynwood and it's actually neighbors with Compton. I've been searching the net to find out what the cover is a parody of, but I've yet to find anything.

I know. I just thought it looked pretty similar in concept. Sheesh.

"Featuring parodies of Chamillionaire, Green Day, Usher, R. Kelly and Taylor Hicks! DualDisc includes PCM Stereo, 5.1 Surround and instrumental mixes of the entire album (with on-screen lyrics option), plus a 9-minute behind-the-scenes documentary and 6 BRAND NEW MUSIC VIDEOS!"

One of the videos is for White 'N' Nerdy, the rest are for his original songs (yes, all of them). One is being animated by the creator of Ren & Stimpy,

pictures of various scenes

animated scene w/no music

Another is going to be animated by the Retarded Animal Babies guy. I believe these are both very good animation styles for Al (regardless of my hatred for RAB).

The creator of Ren and Stimpy is named John Kricfalusi and HE IS A GOD.

Thanks, I couldn't remember his name, but yeah, as you can see, it's gonna be an awesome CD.

Rocky Sullivan · Posted: Thu Aug 10, 2006 9:33 am Post subject:

Yeah, he's been talking about working with Wierd Al a bit lately. Also Wierd Al appears on the Ren and Stimpy "Lost Episodes" DVD. I've ordered it, so I'll tell you what he's got to do with it, if you want.

And for Jack Black fans, John K's also been working with Tenacious D lately.

Thanks, that'd be awesome. Personally, I never liked R&S, and I've seen only one episode of the new show and I still regret it. The animation has always rubbed me the wrong way, but I think it'll work with Al.
