I have to say I only came to NiN via Weird Al myself, so it'd be senseless to deny it.Ludovicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03800765143080326592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10130250.post-54073356377560073182008-08-23T17:22:00.000-04:002008-08-23T17:22:00.000-04:00So in essence, what you're saying is...Weird Al is...So in essence, what you're saying is...Weird Al is gateway music to the harder stuff.Tiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13822243760340149144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10130250.post-9136024833968003752008-08-23T09:44:00.000-04:002008-08-23T09:44:00.000-04:00LOL this makes me laugh so much.

Now Weird Al likes to put out a very family friendly image to the world, but he also likes to have a little fun with that idea as well and picks some of the most controversial songs possible to polka and to parody. It's a bit of a challenge, as I think you discovered!. <BR/>Weird Al really isn't a kids entertainer, but what he does is quite gently questioning a lot of our perceptions, sometimes in ways we can find difficult, but thats kind of funny too. The whole candy shop metaphor is kinda artificially coy in itself, pushing the envelope in a rather immature way... as Bob Dylan said "Why don't you just come out once and SCREAM it?"<BR/> I think thats what is being lampooned here. All the same, I think Al has a lot of fun with some of the songs he picks on... "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails being a particularly mischievous choice which never fails to crack me up laughing at the thought of how people justify that to their kids.<BR/> Al's sometimes a naughty boy.. but it's all just a bit of fun really!!Ludovicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03800765143080326592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10130250.post-74903308864524339052008-08-22T20:09:00.000-04:002008-08-22T20:09:00.000-04:00"It's kinda like kissing."

Too bad we didn't bake you one of those giant cakes that they show on entertainment tonite when shows get to 100 episodes and their futures are set through syndication residuals. Man... you must be really set with 600. <BR/><BR/>Al question... is he the artistic genius typically behind the videos too? I'm always impressed with the wide visual sense he has too. (assuming it is his visual sense).<BR/><BR/>sarahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10130250.post-34411756328233068252008-08-22T10:39:00.000-04:002008-08-22T10:39:00.000-04:00And, of course, ending with the requisite "blipblo...And, of course, ending with the requisite "blipblop."crabbydadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06260962961528954245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10130250.post-72043052048345030822008-08-22T10:37:00.000-04:002008-08-22T10:37:00.000-04:00This post calls for so many record-scratch-then-co...This post calls for so many record-scratch-then-complete-silence sound effects, i lost count.Lacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06839162809213842171noreply@blogger.com
