Yep. I don't trust people who proudly proclaim that they have never used drugs for fun...

I like Weird Al. I won't go out of my way to listen to his music or catch him on tv or buy a member of his touring band's drumset, but I'm glad he's around.

he just changes it to a song about a ham sandwich or some shit.

See, this is part of the appeal to me. Dunno why, but it is.

That's my favorite part of the Weird Al Behind the Music. Mark looks soooo perturbed when he says it, like he's thinking "that fucker outdid us at our own game."

And the video is every bit as good as the song.

I just discovered some unheard, unreleased Weird Al.

One track:

Guilty of Being Nice

I'm happy to do the things I do
pet some kittens, and puppies too
You'll think of my saintliness
100 years after I'm dead

I'm guilty of being nice x4

I'm happy to do the things I do
picked some flowers, just for you
Maybe you'll appreciate me
100 years after I'm dead

I'm guilty of being nice x4

I'm convinced- GUILTY
I'm the nicest guy- GUILTY
Maybe you'll realize that- GUILTY
Sometime after I die

I'm happy, doing the things I do
made some bums a heart stew
Not that they thanked me and
they won't until I die

What happened to music?
It's not the same
Like Joy Division
But way more lame
You call it new wave
You're full of shit, Killers!
