Weird Al's Smile parody released today!

[GoofyJeff]

what "shelved Wilson track" did he play on???

"Let's Stick Together" from the first version of Sweet Insanity

[TheLazenby]

Isn't it true that, beyond his control, he had to record his accordion part separately and has never actually met Brian face to face?

Just reviving this topic to point out that the song is now played at Brian's shows during intermission. Really.

That's awesome.  It wouldn't surprise me at all that Brian digs the song.

Thanks for pointing me in the direction of this song. Had a GREAT laugh over it. Until now my favorite Al track was "Amish Paradise". Interesting to know that Bri gets a kick out of it too!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. If The Beach Boys and Brian had never existed, and had Phil Spector never existed, "Pancreas" would have been hailed as a masterpiece. Or at least a huge cult classic.

[Aegir]

That's a weird thing to say.

If the Beatles had never existed, Badfinger would be a lot more popular?

I just think it's great to live in a country that allows Weird Al to walk around freely and have a career and everything.  In any Eastern Bloc nation he'd be in some kind of a camp. In other places the townfolk would chase him through the streets with ugly intent, like the ending of "Phantom Of The Opera". Here in the U.S. we haven't even sterilized him.

Just saw this thread.

Wow!

Weird Al release today?

Finally, Al Jardine releases "Postcard from California" (which IS a "Smile" parody because it's never coming out)

That's an incredibly harsh post, which i happen to agree with

Of all the people to go after in this world or even in the music world, you're choosing Weird Al?
