Weird Al is back !!

Corholio

The great Weird Al is back with a new album out on September 26th called "Straight Outta Lynwood". He parodies artists such as Chamillionaire, R.Kelly and James Blunt on the new album.

Ive heard his parody of Chamillionaire's rap song "Ridin (Dirty)" called "White N' Nerdy" and its fantastic, he's on top form on the track.

The James Blunt song "I'm Beautiful" is parodied with "I'm Pitiful"

R.Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet" is made fun of with "Trapped in the Drive-Thru" (Havent heard this track but its supposedly 11 minutes long and from early reviews, one of the best songs Weird Al has done)

Green Day's "American Idiot" is also poked fun at with "Canadian Idiot"

Dont know how many other Weird Al fan's are out there, but I, for one, am looking forward to this.

Chamillionaire said he felt honoured to be famous enough to be sent up by Weird Al.

Heard his send up of Smells Like Teen Spirit, along with the video, the other day. Possibly one of the funniest things Ive seen all year Take THAT rocker scum

Good to hear of other fans of Weird Al's stuff, been a far for years personally.

His Ultimate Video Collection is highly recommended, every video he's ever made upto this year.

http://www.amazon.com/Weird-Al-Yankovic-Ultimate-Collection/dp/B0000DC13R/sr=8-1/qid=1159045346/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-7206123-2243830?ie=UTF8&s=dvd

He's also a very good original song writer as well, not just parodies he does.

"You Dont Love Me Anymore", "One More Minute" and "Christmas at Ground Zero" are just a few of many excellent original songs he has.

His last album "Poodle Hat" was good but its marketing suffered from Al not being able to make a video for "Couch Potato" (A parody of Eminem's "Lose Yourself") due to Eminem himself not giving him permission to make it.
