Our first episode with a guest. Khysti from the Gr80’s movie podcast joins us to talk about the first of two Dare To Be Stupid songs. This song is just a bunch of duck puns, but works so well itRead more…
Good Enough For Now
Al’s take on Country comes with his least selling album, Polka Party. But Steve loves this and loves the album because of it. You know you’re felt like this one or twice in your life. Heck, even listening to thisRead more…
Such A Groovy Guy
Inspired by a girlfriend’s horrible ex-boyfriend, this song rings similar tones as the older Al song, Never Met a Person as Wonderful as Me. Steve thinks it’s a shadow style parody of Steve Martin. Or maybe that’s just what allRead more…
Pretty Fly for a Rabbi (Parody of Pretty Fly for a White Guy by The Offspring)
A while back a fan said to Al that his voice sometimes sounded like Dexter Holland, the lead singer of The Offspring. Al agreed and thought he should do a parody of one of their songs. First he turned toRead more…
Party In The CIA (Parody of Party In The USA by Miley Cyrus)
AL does a rare double family take by parodying both a father and a daughter. This time it’s the younger Miley whose song is parodied and given a little spy spin. Originally written by Jessie J and Dr. Luke thisRead more…
Inactive (Parody of Radioactive by Imagine Dragons)
Imagine Dragons are apparently big fans of his so when we asks to do their song they sure. Drummer Daniel Platzman even helped Jon with some patches for the drum songs and even suggested another parody Al could do. CheckRead more…
Handy (Parody of Fancy by Iggy Azalea and Charli XCX)
Al tries out a different kind of rap style with this Parody of Iggy Azalea. Combine that with Schneider from One Day at a Time and a cheap local handyman commercial and you’ve got the makings of a song. ThisRead more…
Perform This Way (Parody of Born This Way by Lady Gaga)
A song with a backstory. At first Al thought this song might be too important to parody. Then he came up with the idea to poke fun at Gaga herself. So he asked for permission and he was told theyRead more…
Tacky (Parody of Happy by Pharrell Williams)
A fun video, and the first released during his week of 8 videos to promote the Mandatory Fun album. Produced by Nerdist this video includes several cameos including Aisha Tyler, Margaret Cho, Eric Stonestreet, Kristen Shaw, and Jack Black, butRead more…
White & Nerdy (Parody of Ridin’ by Chamillionaire ft. Krayzie Bone)
Al’s best performing song. It was his first top 10 single and was number one on the itunes charts. All this from a song that was made to replace the James Blunt parody that Atlantic Records wouldn’t let me do.Read more…
Another Tattoo (Parody of Nothing On You by B.O.B feat. Bruno Mars)
Can Boba Fett even physically play the clarinet? Al takes B.O.B’s groovy song and sings about a characters love of tattoos, taking it to the extreme as his protagonists often do. So great randomness in the lyrics, and Al keepsRead more…
Spy Hard
One of Al’s themes for a movie, this one was a style parody of classic James Bond themes, specifically Thunderball, both with the song and the video. The video is the title sequence for the movie Spy Hard, but inRead more…
