[edit] Two versions of "My Bologna"
The original recording of "My Bologna" was done in the bathroom across from KPCR, and featured only Al on accordian with no other instrumental backing. The version that appears on this self-titled album is a studio re-recording of the song. The original bathroom recording is still notable, but since it's not the version on this album, I don't know if that bit of info should be left here. Thoughts? - Josh, March 31, 2007
[edit] Mr Frump
Mr Frump sounds nothing like Alice's Restaurant. It sounds more like carnival music. 67.188.172.165 21:29, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
The singing style does sound alike though. Some of the humor of the song is that this song is so short, while Alice's Restaurant goes on forever
I totally agree that this is nothing like Alice's Restaurant. Also, the point in I'll Be Mellow When I'm Dead is not to be hyperactive, but is rather a rejection of yuppie fads that were popular at the time.
[edit] The Check's In The Mail
That song is basically a style parody of the song Madness by the band Madness on their One Step Beyond album.It's musically similar all the way,including the simulated handclaps heard at the end of both songs.The only difference is that Weird Al's song is a bit slower in tempo than Madness.If you even know the song Madness,you probably know what I am talking about.Just a thought.Any comments or criticisms?Frschoonover 02:47, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Album type
The infobox now requires a pre-defined type code. I've put "studio" down for the moment as it's the most general. However, we could use "cover" or "tribute" if they're more appropriate descriptions of the album's type. What do you think? Alex valavanis 12:36, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism
I noticed a little Vandalism on this page. I fixed it though.--Gen. Quon 15:41, 13 June 2007 (UTC)the song he did called straight out of lynnwood is even funnier to me as lynwood is a special school near to where i used to live!
