It's Because He's Really Got Talent and the "Originals" Really Don't!

Revenge of the "Nerdy" for spoof artist Yankovic - Yahoo! News

Or, Why Is Weird Al So Popular Now?

What's going on here? Could it be the widespread appeal of comedy, or that Yankovic's legacy and fame have expanded throughout his career? (his first single, "Muh-muh-muh-My Bologna," was released in 1979). oOo oOo Catchy, huh? oOo

"White and Nerdy"? "So Pitiful"? "Canadian Idiot"? Could it be that his titles describe the so-called musicians and music of our day? oOo oOo

Could it be that with the loss and current absence of real musical talent oOo among today's pop/rock/rap/sicko/punk/death/metal/butthead "bands" and "singers" (whoa, my bad-- pardon me for SCREAMING<<<< ) oOo oOo

the only enjoyable music is that which makes fun of the crap foisted upon the public by so-called producers and labels, (who themselves have sold-out to greed and peer pressure rather than promote real creativity and artistry).
oOo oOo

Since no one in mainstream genres seems to have an original musical/ lyrical thought these days, we like hearing Wierd Al's ridiculous, yet more meaningful, renditions of the puke we must endure otherwise. oOo

Rock On! WiredWeird-Al-Man!! oOo oOo
