Funny, I remember when my brother and his friends were all into Weird Al. Didn’t realize the only other choice was Iron Maiden. You chose… wisely.

(think it will mess with my little brother’s head that I’m reading and commenting on his friend’s blog?)

Sheer genius, that.

Never been a huge fan of his but there’s something to be said for that video.

Wierd Al has aged well, Jesus. He must use pearl cream.

And there was a third type of fith grade boys back in 86: those who listened to RUN DMC. They went on to be true players for real.

Jon “Bermuda” Schwartz and Al were buddies at Cal Poly. Jon is indeed playing Al’s accordian case, which is what they used on the actual recording. And Harmon is right, he still tours and records with Al.

50% facetious, 50% stupidity. I probably wouldn’t go out and buy one, but I assumed it was some kind of homemade drum contraption, not an accordion case. That man can play an accordion case like nobody’s business!

I can never tell when you’re being facetious… but I’m pretty sure that’s the case from Al’s accordion.

BTW, that guy whose name I have already forgotten, his back-up guy there, Jon Something, is *still* Weird Al’s drummer, at least last I knew. Now he uses drums, though.
