So go out and buy Straight Outta Lynwood so you can hear "Pancreas".

I'm listening to Pancreas right now. It's like the perfect distillation of Pet Sounds and SMiLE. And just a little funny, too.
Maybe Al can join Al and Brian on tour and perform the song.

And (Weird) Al can play accordion on Wouldn't It Be Nice. Pancreas is awesome, love the end of it. Loving Polkarama as well.

I'm very impressed! I have a hunch that a lot of people who buy the album won't "get" the song or what it's modeled after and wind up skipping over it in favor of the parodies of more modern stuff, but that's OK...

Weird Al is a guest on
www.tomgreen.com
tonight, a live talk show broadcasting globally on WEB-O-VISION! Anyway, its a call-in talk show, so if you were interested in his inspiration for the song or how he was influenced by Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys, you could ask him personally. It airs live at 11 pm EST.

Yeah, I popped the cd in my friends' car when I got it yesterday and when he heard it right after he heard "White and Nerdy", I saw a confused look on his face at first, haha. What's even better is on the dvd side "Al in the studio" you get to see Al and his band work on Pancreas (and other songs as well), really cool. Al played piano, harpsichord, vibraphone, tannernin, accordion, harmonica, bass harmonica, and toy piano alone on Pancreas.

It is HILARIOUS stuff -- there's bits there that sound more like 70s Brian than Smile, probably accidentally, but it gives the whole venture an even cooler vibe than Weird Al probably intended.
The record on a whole is hilarious -- the "Trapped in the Closet" parody had me rolling.

I heard the promotional copy today. I now own it. The Program Director and I had a laugh, and he got the joke. All harmonies performed by Al, which is a formidable feat in itself. nice listening , full of many inside musical winks...I love the 'vegetables' take-off in the middle. PMcC

I think Weird Al should coproduce Brian's next album. He really seems to grasp Brian's methods and melodic bass lines! Now why can't all these bands claiming to be Beach Boys influenced release a record with that sound?

You can listen to the whole thing on Napster, without paying. Just register for the site. Also, that song is AWESOME. Dead on Brian imitation. Weird Al is great.

Every time you spell Smile as SMiLE, an angel's wings are forcibly torn off its body.

On Rhapsody, if you move the progress slider back to the beginning of the song before the song ends, that only counts as one play. When there's a song I'm thinking of buying, I just play it 5 or 6 times to see if it bears repeated listens. But I only use one play by just starting the song over before it ends.

I agree with that sentiment...I didn't find it funny so much, I was more impressed just at the mere fact that he was able to write a song about his pancreas and have it come off as well as it does. With all the musical complexity involved it amazes me that he can put it together with the subject matter like that. I've always found that about Al...whether you find him funny or not, there's no denying how clever he can be.

On a non-BB forum I'm on, the concensus is:
-
Straight Outta Lynwood
is one of Al's best albums, and
- "Pancreas" is just not that great a song. Even someone who is a BW fan said he didn't care for "Pancreas" because, well, a four-minute song going on about the pancreas just gets kind of old -- and I can dig that. But to be honest with you, when I listened to "Pancreas," I was too focused on the Brian parody/tribute to even notice....man, he put in EVERYTHING! Just brilliant!
I've been a Weird Al fan since "Eat It" came out....I NEED to catch up -- I still haven't gotten
Poodle Hat
. Hopefully Amazon will have one of those "get these two together" specials....

thanks for posting the video.
my favorite part about this song (other than the acurate musical arrangements) are the anatomically correct descriptions of the functions of the pancreas. weird al has totally got his sh*t together

from the Nov. 2 issue of Rolling Stone:
MY LIST - Weird Al Yankovic
Brian Wilson "Vega Tables"
Yankovic, who played accordion on a shelved Wilson track, says the 37-year wait for 'SMiLE' was worth it. "It's just amazing," he says. "I have to give a nod to any song that encourages you to eat your vegetables."
what "shelved Wilson track" did he play on???
