Al on YouTube

Congrats to Al for having the “BEST WEEK EVER” according to VH1. If you missed it, catch one of the many many many reruns to hear the usual commenters giving the proper respect to Al.

If you couldn’t make it, here’s a couple pictures and a video taken from the autograph signing at the Virgin Megastore in Hollywood. I can almost imagine myself waiting in line with the folks there! (Thanks to Tracy A. for sending me that link) Very cool!

If Al gets to do another AL-TV special (or AL-1 or AL-Music), you’ll most likely see a video for Polkarama where clips from the original videos are strung together to go along with the polka versions. It’s always funny seeing these vids sped up like crazed chihuahuas trying to keep up with Al. Well, in a new segment I’d like to call “Blatant Copyright Infringements”, here’s a whole bunch of those videos that you can find on a “completely unknown never-before-heard-of” site called YouTube (shhhhh). Actually, most of these were created with great quality by a user named “OzShadow” who deserves major kudos for all the work. Anyway, enjoy!

Polkarama!
Angry White Boy Polka
Polka Power
Alternative Polka (from MuchMusic great intro!)

    THIS IS SO COOL!!!!!! The polka vids and the Megastore vid are way moby…know what I mean? Nudge, Nudge! Anyway, I didn’t want to watch Polkarama!, becuase I promised myself I wouldn’t look at anything else from SOL until I got it…. And Marty or Elvis or whichever one you are, you’re right about the Megastore vid. It’s like I’m right there, but I’m NOT right there. Anyone else feel that way?!?!?
