The Music in My Head

I probably know my Weird Al songs a bit too well. While "Polkas on 45" played on my computer, I left my desk for a couple minutes. The music kept going in my head; I admittedly concentrated on the song. Ther hard part is not skipping forward.

When I returned, the music in my head and the music from my computer were only off by a beat or two.

Just Forget the Words and Sing Along!

It's music time here at Royal Ramblings.

I was just about to mail a letter to my evil twin
When I got a nasty papercut
And, well, to make a long story short
It got infected and I died
So now I'm up in heaven with St. Peter
By the pearly gates
And it's obvious he doesn't like
The Nehru jacket that I'm wearing
He tells me that they've got a dress code
Well, he lets me into heaven anyway
But I get the room next to the noisy ice machine
For all eternity
And every day he runs by screaming:

Everything you know is wrong
Black is white, up is down and short is long
And everything you used to think was so important
Doesn't really matter anymore
Because the simple fact remains that
Everything you know is wrong
Just forget the words and sing along
All you need to understand is
Everything you know is wrong
Everything you know is wrong

"Everything You Know Is Wrong"
"Weird Al" Yankovic

Pitiful

Down in the comments of that "Bob" post, AnotherAnnoyingCousin pointed me to Weird Al's webpage, where's there's a new song for free download. Go listen to it now!

It's called "You're Pitiful," a parody on that slow, acousic "You're Beautiful" song, by some band or another. Very good. Nice intro. And bonus points for the Halo 2 reference!

UPDATE: I fixed the link. ... I guess Mamurd was the only one who tried it!

Yankovic as Dylan

Bob

I, man, am regal - a German am I
Never odd or even
If I had a hi-fi

Madam, I'm Adam
Too hot to hoot
No lemons, no melon
Too bad I hid a boot

Lisa Bonet ate no basil
Warsaw was raw
Was it a car or a cat I saw?


Rise to vote, sir
Do geese see god?
"Do nine men interpret?" "Nine men," I nod

Rats live on no evil star
Won't lovers revolt now?
Race fast, safe car

Pa's a sap
Ma is as selfless as I am
May a moody baby doom a yam


Ah, Satan sees Natasha
No devil lived on
Lonely Tylenol
Not a banana baton

No "x" in "Nixon"
O, stone, be not so
O Geronimo, no minor ego

"Naomi," I moan
A Toyota's a Toyota
A dog, a panic in a pagoda


Oh no! Don Ho!
Nurse, I spy gypsies - run!
Senile felines
Now I see bees I won

UFO tofu
We panic in a pew
Oozy rat in a sanitary zoo

God! A red nugget! A fat egg under a dog!
Go hang a salami. I'm a lasagna hog

Happy New Year!

I almost forgot. And Rosh Hashanah ends in a few hours. . . In the immortal words of Weird Al Yankovic, "Oy gevalt, I'm so ferklempt that I could plotz."

So now we're in the year 5766, counted from . . . ? The beginning of time? I thought we were over 6000 on that count.

Nope. Apparently, Tishri 1 is the sixth day of creation, when Adam got get.

The 6000 must've been a Christian counting.

Feeling down?

I'm just a no-good, scum-sucking, nose-picking, boot-licking, sniveling, groveling, worthless hunk of slime.

Nothing but a low-down beer-bellied, bone-headed, pigeon-toed, turkey-necked, weasel-faced, worthless hunk of slime.

Guess I pretty low self image. Maybe it's a chemical imbalance or something.

I should probably go and see a doctor about it when I've got the time.

"Generic Blues"

Weird Al Yankovic

It's a happy song. (-:
