TS: Dead Milkmen vs. Weird Al

Punk Rock Girl that is

I'd have to give this more thought than I'm willing to give, but I'm thinking that Dead Milkmen vs. Mojo Nixon might make more sense.

^ thread could use some fixin

Answer is Weird Al. I haven't heard much Dead Milkmen other than "Punk Rock Girl" tho.

The "Dare to Be Stupid" video is the best thing ever.

Re: dissing Weird Al's originals, "Good Enough For Now" is one of the most honest love songs I've ever heard.

so is "You Make Me"

I like a lot of Weird Al's originals. Up until Alapalooza, his originals were pretty solid. After that, it was painful. Nevertheless, I don't think anyone will really "remember" them in the way people are talking about above, where the general public knows them.

While I think both are amazing, I'm a hardcore Dead Milkmen fanboy (and probably an apologist as well) so I'm gonna go with DM. I sincerely think Not Richard But Dick is an amazing album that I can listen to and enjoy without focusing on the humor in the lyrics. I mean, "Jason's Head"! That song is seriously a killer. "Punk Rock Girl" is fucking all-time...but I never pull out Beezlebubba anymore. I think that Rodney Anonymous is especially grating on that one and on Metaphysical Graffiti. I even think that Stony's Extra Stout is pretty decent...granted I haven't pulled it out in a very long time.

Look man, maybe not every kid in the world watched UHF, but every kid that did formed a parody band.

I'll rep for "Frank's 2000" TV," "The Night Santa Went Crazy," "Since You've Been Gone," and the NIN pastiche "Germs." I turned 14 in 2001 btw.

^ Truth!

...and I forgot to say: If we are arguing importance (and I think we are) Weird Al runs away with that category.

Does Weird Al have anything as awesome as "Stuart" though?

The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota

Metaphysical Graffiti is a joint but this thread is still silly

"Just One More Minute" is another great WA original.

I guess I might seem kinda bitter
You got me feeling down in the dumps
'Cause I'm stranded all alone in the gas station of love
And I have to use the self-service pumps
