This man's work will never get old.
I used to be a rabid fan of WAY... and, without question, "The Saga Begins" is what killed my ability to latch onto anything new he did after that (wow was 1999 the wrong time to parody a Don McLean song) (1985 on the other hand? Perfect time to "go after" The Kinks). I'm ecstatic, because I do remember the old fan in me, that he's finally getting the kind of validation for his success that has eluded him for quite awhile. Though, to be fair, he's had a lot of downtime over the last 12 or so years. And, until now, nothing he's done since "It's All About the Pentiums" has in any way glued itself to the reputation of the song he's chosen to parody. I mean, the old adage is that Al's parodies affirmed the success of a song or artist in popular culture. Which it certainly did when he was parodying Michael Jackson, Madonna, Red Hot Chili Peppers, TLC, Nirvana, and even Puff Daddy (and... how the hell did he remain popular without any actual music for over 15 friggin' years after scoring a few hits? That is just not right). I have no clue what "White and Nerdy" was based on or who did it, and South Park kind of beat Al out for exposure and relevance on that R. Kelly parody.

But, finally Al is proving that he's been paying attention. I didn't even know he parodied "Fancy" until I saw the Kids React episode last night. And the second "Foil" came up, I said "he really should have gone after Iggy Azalea instead. But I guess that song is too new..." Now I have to rush off to YouTube and see "Handy."
Well, I got so burned out on the road
Too many fags, too much blow
And then Mick and I split up and I said,
"Kid, it's time to take a little bit of a hiatus."
So I got myself a gig at the coffee shop
and I love it.
Why don't you take that corner booth,
I'll take your order in a minute...

Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

An entirely guilt-free 90's classic.

The last thing I listened to was "Working for the Weekend." In the background of a video.
