Of course Al is talking about the U.S., because that’s where he lives, but I looked into it and the crap burning up the music charts over here is pretty close to the crap burning up the music charts in the U.K. So, without any further adieu, I would like to try and predict exactly what Al’s latest wacky spoof song will be:
“Shia LaBouf’s In Trouble” – The Yank takes on Rhianna’s “Disturbia” and changes all the lyrics to be about the Rear Window remake that starred everyone’s favorite hot little twerp.
“Miss Co-Dependent” – a delicious twist on “Miss Independent” by Ne-Yo. The title is self-explanatory.
“All Winter Long” – Al riffs on Kid Rock’s “All Summer Long” by discussing a typical Eskimo lifestyle.
Of course, “Weird Al” is a creature of habit, and I am fully aware none of my guesses fall into any of the four major songwriting categories Al has consistently returned to during his lengthy, Hawaiian-shirted career: food, television, obesity, and Michael Jackson. So I would like to add a fifth general prediction that suggests Al’s new song will revolve around one of these tried and true topics.
Stay tuned, DoG readers, and see if your pal JG2 can accurately see into the novelty music future.
