Weird Al-gorithm

This week we are taking on the heavy hitter; Dare to Be Stupid. Thanks to it's appearance in Transformers: The Movie it's arguably the most well known Weird Al original (and also one of the rare Weird Al Title Tracks). We dive deep into our love of not just this song, but also Devo.

This week we kick off the Dare to be Stupid album with returning guest Chris Fafalios. We breakdown the Weird Al Parody "Like a Surgeon"; this song was the first and possibly only time that Al took a parody concept from the artist he was parodying. It's strange that Al never did another Madonna parody after this since it was such a success.

We are joined by Patrick McDonald of the comedy group SMOSH to discuss the first two episodes of ALTV. Did these specials inspire The State? it's very possible! Did it redefine alternative comedy? Sure we can say that I suppose.

This week we review the final parody on In 3-D; the Survivor "Eye of the Tiger" parody that doubles as a Rocky parody .... Theme From Rocky XIII (Rye or the Kaiser). It's not an often discussed parody but maybe it should be!

One of the stranger songs on In 3-D is this original song about a man who loves dancing. It's not a specific style parody but it feels like it could have been part of the Footloose soundtrack; only it basically pre-dates the dance movie craze of the mid-80s! How do the Matt's feel about it? Listen and find out!!

I can't believe it took 20 episodes to get to our first Polka!

But finally we are discussing a Polka on the podcast! Smack in the middle of In 3-D is a track that started a tradition on practically every album that came out after this.

Also if you haven't jumped on the TIkTok trend yet .... Teenage Dirtbag is being used as a TikTok right now and you should film something on your TikTok for it!!
