We can dance if we want to.
We can leave your friends behind.
Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine.
Warm regards,

Hahaha, I'm not sure what's a daggier track, Weird Al's, or the song from which big ole Chris has quoted. Now that's a decidedly 80s number. How does Weird Al make any money, anyway? The songs are pretty funny for the first listen or two, but I can't picture anyone buying his albums. He seems to get by though.
His other current one, a "cover" of Pharrell Williams' "Happy" is pretty funny. Something along the lines of, "Never let you forget some favour I did for you, because I'm tAcky!". Hahaha, not bad.
Also, he has done a version of Lorde's "Royals", but it is called "Foil", singing about keeping his food fresh by wrapping it in foil. Then it proceeds to go into Illuminati conspiracy theories and what not, with Weird Al putting the foil on his head. Apparently the young Kiwi Lorde went on a rant about the NWO at the Grammy's, but it was edited from TV. |

Wow Janiny, that clip is freaky hahaha. I remember students in China would say "Oh my Lady Gaga", and thought it was the height of lingo.
Last I heard, the other day, Weird Al had the number one album in the US. So that's how he makes money, I guess! |
