Howie's Saying of the Week

The truth hurts doesn't it. Oh sure, maybe not as much as jumping on a bicycle with the seat missing, but it hurts - Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen)

Al is just lip syncing to the lead singer's vocals on that. However he does cover Beat on the Brat by the Ramones.

Yeah, but he did the accordion solo himself. Devil

You are correct again, Beat on the Brat is an amazing cover. Almost sounds like Joey.

Take this song as an example of the Genius that Weird Al is: "Weird Al" Yankovic - Bob

First, this is not a Dylan cover but is done "in the style" of Bob. He nails the vocals.

Second, the video homage to INXS is amazing: INXS - Mediate

Third (most important of all), check out those lyrics. Every line is a palindrome - reads the same way forward and backward. Who else other than Al can pull something like this off?
