Simpson, professor of education and psychology, women, states Mrs Vivian. Welcome to the Ask Al Archive… all of the Ask Al’s ever asked and answered, both on weirdal.com and in The Midnight Star (an unofficial fanzine from 1993 through 1998.) Please keep in mind that some of the answers which were relevant at the time they were given will seem quite “dated” now and may possibly be inaccurate.George T. Sex and not dying thats what biology is all about and while the sex part is Ill grant you a little bit sexier not dying is also really fantastic something that I personally like to do every single day I personally like to not die in all sorts of ways like I dont jump out of flames I dont go into active combat zones I dont do heroin I can however spend time wallowing the filth with my cute.
But online, she hasn’t hesitated to create controversy in recent weeks. You could also read the entire Archive, in which case you get an A for effort! Or, you can select a specific month’s Q&A’s from the list below.Kelly Dodd won’t be bringing her drama to The Real Housewives of Orange County for season 16. Stylistically, Carlin was tight on script so you could even say Daniel Tosh.In lieu of a proper search engine (Hey, this is weirdal.com…not Amazon.com!) we invite you to use your browser’s “find” feature to search the Q&A’s for specific keywords for the topics you’re interested in. Teachers want their kids to become little geniuses, and are generally pretty anti-.Do you agree with George Carlin when he said, The planet is doing just. People who get involved in education tend to care deeply about it - they have to, just to wade through all their mandatory education - and really want to educate people. 11956 Holt.Answer (1 of 2): No, and it’s kind of silly.
So if you don’t like that, blame me.Mike of Phoenix, AZ asks: Al, can you list some of the actors with cameos in the “White & Nerdy” video? I think I got Donny Osmond…Right – of course, that’s Donny Osmond dancing behind me (playing “Krayzie Bone” to My “Chamillionaire”)… Seth Green is the guy obsessed with action figures (he’s basically playing himself)… Judy Tenuta is the woman on the couch who graciously accepts my gift of a surge protector… the two gangstas in the car at the beginning of the video are Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele from MAD TV… and of course there are the 18 MySpace friends that I cast as extras.Howard & Cindy Wilson of Hamilton, Ontario asks: On the back page of the CD insert, you mention Nickelback in the credits. (And before you ask, no, it wasn’t ever in our budget to shoot an 11-minute live-action music video.) Anyway, if we were doing the video in live action, I would almost certainly be playing a character, not “Weird Al” – and therefore I instructed Doug to give the guy a more generic hairstyle. But my note to him was that the video should not be too “cartoony” – it should be more or less an animated version of what the video would have looked like if we had shot it in live action. Actually, I can’t wait until HD-DVD or BluRay discs are more prevalent in the marketplace – most people have only seen the video in low res on MySpace or on You Tube, and as I’ve said before, we shot the thing in HD… it looks gorgeous!Ally of Ohio asks: Hey Al, in your video for “Trapped In The Drive-Thru” why doesn’t the cartoon look like you?Actually, when the animator Doug Bresler sent me his original animatic, the character in the video did in fact look a lot like me. Of course, the video is available on iTunes (in fact, it was the #1 best-selling music video for a couple months!) and I’m hoping it will also be available on some kind of DVD compilation in the future. I would have included that video if I could have, but to do so would have meant delaying the release of “Straight Outta Lynwood” by a couple months, and obviously I wanted to get the album out as soon as possible (before the parodies got too dated).
You may notice that I also mentioned T Pain in the “special thanks” – similarly, he had given his blessing for me to do a parody of one of his songs. I typically get clearances for the songs in the medley before I actually arrange it… and when I was putting “Polkarama!” together, I just couldn’t find a way to incorporate the Nickelback song into it where it didn’t sound wedged in or tacked on – so unfortunately I had to leave it off. We ourselves are not beer-swilling hockey nuts, but we do know several, eh.Nickelback was nice enough to give their permission for me to use their song “Photograph” in the latest polka medley.
Anyway, since our budget for all these videos was very modest (to put it mildly), I wasn’t sure what kind of talent we’d be able to attract – but to my surprise and delight, some of the best animators in the world signed on to participate, just because they loved the music and wanted to be part of this project. I also like the idea of just having a ton of videos for this album, since Poodle Hat didn’t really have anyvideos (unless you count “Bob”… which most people don’t). I generally don’t have a lot of time to come up with videos when I’m dealing with parodies, but there are typically several months between the time I finish recording the originals and the time an album gets released, so even though I knew it would be a logistical nightmare, I figured I could pull it off… which would give the album tons of “added value” and hopefully give my originals a bit more attention than they usually receive from the general public. I decided early on that I wanted to do 5.1 mixes and instrumental mixes of everything, as well as a documentary on the making of the album… but what really excited me was the possibility of doing a bunch of animated videos for the originals. At the time I thought it was a great idea, because I was all in favor of anything that would make the new album more of an event and provide more “bang for the buck” for the fans. Why do six (although I appreciate the extra work that you, the band and the behind-the-scenes people do so fans like me can watch more amazing videos than ever) for Straight Outta Lynwood?It all began a couple years ago, when my record label suggested that I consider doing a DualDisc release.
