Our first polka! How do you rate a polka? What do you even talk about? We don’t know. Maybe you do.

047 The Check’s In The Mail
Another Weird Al Yankovic first album cut. Not sure what we think about this song, but it seems like an interesting start to a career.

The lawyers are all over this song. Weird Al’s Dire Straits parody from UHF is a fun video and an interesting combination of the original song and the theme song.
042 Christmas At Ground Zero
Merry Christmas everyone! A fun uplifting Christmas message from your old pal, “Weird Al” Yankovic. Now with a special message to Ronald Reagan. Enjoy!
041 You Make Me
Oingo Boingo is never the same after listening to this Weird Al style parody. A great musical parody that is lessened by the not always obvious lyrics. Of course, maybe that’s the point.
