BellaOnline Interview

Here’s a nice interview from BellaOnline.com. It goes into the nice topics like doing more rap after the Coolio incident, MTV and VH-1, real-world topics, his start with the accordion, and then there’s THIS million dollar question…

Video CameraQ: Are there six music videos for this album?
Weird Al - Six music videos on the album, on the DVD side of the album. On top of that there’s “White and Nerdy,” and I’m actually shooting the video for another song tomorrow. So far there are going to be 8 videos for the album and six of them are on the album itself.

WHOA!!! He’s doing ANOTHER video?!? HOLY BEJESUS!!! That’s freakin’ AWESOME!!! Hmm, I wonder what song it’ll be for. Trapped in the Drive Thru??? Hee hee hee… no wonder he won’t be touring until next summer.

    ANOTHER VIDEO?!?!?
    Yeah!!!
    Thanks Al!
    I hope it is for Trapped in the Drive Thru..
    That would be a task, but Suzanne could make an Appearance, and it would be the best video EVER!
    Take that, R. Kelly!

  2. elvis Says:

    I wonder if the Jib Jab video and video he’s shooting tomorrow are one in the same?

  3. Sarah Says:

    Since he’s referencing it as the 8th video, it would have to be the JibJab video, wouldn’t it?

  4. Aaron B. Hockley Says:

    Hmm… I feel all weird going to a site with “The Voice of Women” as the tagline in order to get my Al news fix…

  5. rusty Says:

    a trapped in the drive tru would take a long time to shoot

  6. joshua Says:

    connfesions part III??????? maybe????

  7. dude Says:

    Why doesn”t he make a video for every song!!!! am i right people??????

  8. butthead Says:

    i hope its for canadian idiot

  9. Richard Latanville Says:

    i would like to see Do i creep you out as a video.
    It would have scenes and cameos from American Idol and another and with a woman he is crazy for. Then at the end, Simon would say “that’s the worse song he heard and I heard William hung’s “she bangs” then Al gets into a fight with him.

    But if only, I doubt would happen, because that would be cool.

  10. Tokusou Sentai Blessranger Says:

    I hope Polkarama will be the next music video. It’ll be the first professional Weird Al music video for a polka medley.

  11. joshua Says:

    dear mr. Tokusou Sentai Blessranger (i had to copy your name to get the spelling right)

    there will be no “professional video” for POLKARAMA

    the video for polkarama will consist of snippet of the music videos of the songs in the polka

    it will be like polka power, angry white boy polka etc..

    In nashville…

    best buy doesn’t have straight outta lynwood
    wal-mart doesn’t have straight outta lynwood
    nobody has straight outta lynwood!!!!!!

    where did ya’ll get ur copies????!!!! help!!!!!!!!!!!!

  13. Sarah Says:

    I know Best Buy had them…but I bought the last copy at my Best Buy and they said that they accidentally got a double shipment…so hopefully it means that the CD is selling well.

  14. Ryan Says:

    While I would like the new video to be for the Green Day parody, I’m pretty sure Jib Jab is doing that. I can’t imagine what weird al would do with all that green slime from the original video, but I’d like him to do hilarious stuff in slow motion while singing. Trapped in the Drive-Thru would be awesome as a video, but it seems way too unlikely. One more thing, when I put my CD into the computer, it showed up as “Straight Outta Lynnwood”, with 2 N’s!!! Also, I think the same problem came up when iTunes checked the official database online for the song info, I had to change them all to just one n.

  15. tom Says:

    Best buy didn’t have any!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  16. tom Says:

    Oh!

    and circut city doesn’t have straight outta lynwood!!!

    help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  17. Ryan Says:

    tom: I got mine at Tower… they overcharge though, that extra money betta’ go to Al.

  18. Ryan Says:

    OMG!!! Straight Outta Lynwood is the #9 album on iTunes after 2 days!!! That’s crazy considering most of us probably went out and bought the Dual-Disc.

  19. Sarah Says:

    You may just have to order it online and try to get 1 day shipping…but do it soon for Al’s sake! ;)

  20. tom Says:

    I called tower and they had it….for $18.99!!!!!!!!!

    that extra money better go to al!!!!!!!!!

    or else!!!!

  21. Stephen S. Says:

    Al SHOULD (But won’t) make a video for every song.

    If you can’t find the album, order it online at bestbuy.com
    I have ordered countless things from them, and the delivery is fast and of quality.

  22. joshua Says:

    He should make a video for every song!!!!!!!!

  23. butthead Says:

    i got mine at shopco

  24. Rick Says:

    hey if you’re a Canadian or have much music I think “Weird Al” Will be on much on demand on Oct 11th

  25. A Man Says:

    That’s sweet!! I personally really like the animated video’s too, exspecially the one for “Close, But No Cigar”. A “Trapped in the Drive Thru” video would be ridiculasly long, but still very silly. I hope it’s that, or “Confessions Pt III”
    My only beef with this album is the audio side of the dualdisc doesn’t play on my computer, meaning I can’t put the music on my iPod:(
    Guess I’ll have to stick with Jethro Tull:P

  26. joshua Says:

    the audio side and the dvd side work both on my computer and in my cd and dvd player
