You Don't Love Me Anymore (f/Jaret Reddick)

Weird Al-gorithm ·

2024/01/26

This week we are joined by Bowling For Soup vocalist Jaret Reddick to discuss Al's folk-y tribute to heartbreak with You Don't Love Me Anymore! For years people say it's a style parody of Extreme but we think that's strictly because of the iconic music video, stylistically it appears Al dug into a much more obscure and personal reference point!

The Plumbing Song

Weird Al-gorithm ·

2024/01/19

This week we discuss The Plumbing Song. This is the first time Al has parodied 2 songs but the same artist in a single song, but unfortunately by the time Off the Deep End was released it felt like a punch down on the the disgraced pop group Milli Vanilli.

Airline Amy

Weird Al-gorithm ·

2024/01/12

This week Matt and Matthew discuss the Al original Airline Amy. This is one of the more divisive songs in Al's catalogue made apparent by how differently these two Al loving podcasters think about it. One loves it and one finds it ultimately forgettable.

Taco Grande (f/Lily Hirsch)

Weird Al-gorithm ·

2024/01/05

We've referenced author Lily Hirsch's booked Weird Al Seriously quite a few times on the show so we were beyond thrilled to have the author on the podcast to discuss Al's take on Gerardo's "Rico Suave". We discuss how sometimes Al's parodies help us fix a song that's lyrics can be off putting and Taco Grande is a great early example of that! Learn more about your ad choices.

I Can't Watch This

Weird Al-gorithm ·

2023/12/01
