Weird Al...

At it again. So far, we’ve got 6 of the 8 promised videos and patiently awaiting the other two. Personally, I think he’s in top form. And rumor has it this is the final album of his contract with Zomba Records, and he intends to just go self-published from here out, releasing singles as soon as he records and shoots video for them - so he won’t have the “getting stale” problem anymore.

The latest is a killer Pixies goof, especially ironic considering the subject matter.

For those who missed the rest, here they are…

AWESOME. What an interpolation - corporate doublespeak to the tune of an iconic hippie anthem…
