I’m in the store shopping and the song starts playing and I automatically converted in my head to the weird Al version. Lola, aka Yoda.

I just got done watching the Weird Al biopic, “Weird”.

I liked it a lot. Obviously they take one or two liberties with the story, but I’m a big fan of the silly and absurd Weird Al sense of humor, so it was right up my alley — UHF was a formative influence on me.

Also, Daniel Radcliffe was a lot of fun in the title role.

85 / 100, highly recommend if you like silly humor or know what happens when you find the marble in the oatmeal.

An emotionally compelling duet from "Weird Al" Yankovic and Kate Winslet on a subject near and dear to my heart. "I Need a Nap" is everything you'd expect from a Sandra Boynton song.

Sounds like the inspiration for a #WeirdAl song.

No offense to Usher but I think an accordion could add something. Not quite sure what but … something.

Watched

I've seen many, many clips over the years, but never the whole thing.

What an idiot I was. This...was everything! Exactly my kind of humour, quite a few surprise castings, a trademark parody in between.

Great comedy!

GIF from the movie "UHF": George (Weird Al Yankovic), dressed as Rambo, wearing a fake muscly chest, glasses and bandana with Stanley (Michael Richards), wearing soldier attire, in a helicopter. They make weird faces before blowing up the Colosseum in Rome.

I keep seeing "Weird Al" as "Weird AI" (depending on your font, you probably won't be able to tell the difference). If he doesn't use that on his next album, I'll be very surprised. Also - good to see him having a nice dig at the exploitative platform, the name of which I shall not darken this toot with.

Happy 83rd birthday to synth godmother and transgender icon Wendy Carlos!

@ike_seblon one of the first albums I ever purchased on cassette was Weird Al Yankovic and Wendy Carlos doing a rendition of Peter and the Wolf.

It certainly wasn't the Weird Al album I was hoping to purchase, but given that I was living in an area kind of distant from decent music vendors, I was grateful to find anything at all. Moreover, I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome anyway!

The time is right for to make a UHF 2, set in the streaming era.

I love UHF. One of my favorite movies, and I would love a sequel.

I was watching and paused for a moment... which lead me to recall which lead me to make this for no reason at all.

You are welcome. It means a lot for me to share my wisdom and talent.

Cloudscout, to bbs

What was your first / / / etc?

When I started calling systems around age 11, I used the handle "POTPURI". A shortened form of "potpourri." The reason for the shortened spelling is that I first used it when playing Summer Games on the with our family. I wanted to come up with a funny name and thought of the line from the song "I Lost on Jeopardy" that said, "I took potpourri for one hundred and then my head started to spin..." but the whole word wouldn't fit into the character limit. This was incredibly funny to 10/11 year old Matt.

Okay so @Kitty's has a theme of from @VestigialLung.

Oh yes.

Since I love me some fun music...this may become a problem for me in picking things.

Let's start out with a 1990 classic, "The Humpty Dance" from Digital Underground. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBsjggc5jHM

RIP Shock G.

Next, let's get weird. Weird Al that is.

I'm only doing one Weird Al song cause, otherwise, I could end up with an entire string of his songs.

It's dated now in its references, but "It's All About the Pentiums" is hilarious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpMvS1Q1sos

“Older than Yankovic” is a commonly understood unit of measure in certain circles I suppose
