Internet Leaks by Weird Al

We love the Weird Al. We even love the Weird Al Wiki page. I met him back in 1994 on his Fat tour. Since then I have seen him 4 times, not counting the 2 years I stalked him and sent waffles as care packages.

With the recent invention of the Interweb, Weird Al has been able to put out parodies almost days after the original song hits the airwaves. He even mentioned that it was cool to put out a song while the original was still climbing the charts.

His recent album – Internet Leaks – is a collection of 5 songs he put out on the web first. They include:

1. Whatever You Like (October 8, 2008)
2. Craigslist (June 16, 2009)
3. Skipper Dan (July 14, 2009)
4. CNR (August 4, 2009)
5. Ringtone (August 21, 2009)

CNR was a Jib-Jab video in where you can put your own face into the video. I personally love Craigslist – a parody of any Jim Morrison song. Only thing missing was a bad trip on a hallucinogenic and an Indian.

Otherwise, Brilliant!
