My Time at Weird Al

I mentioned in a previous blog that I was going to a Weird Al concert. Well I went two weeks ago and had a GREAT time. Here's the story:


Mom, Dad, and I went to the concert next to Coney Island and saw a bunch of people with awesome t-shirts. From Muppets to Pokemon to MAD they had pretty much every cool thing on their shirt. Then I waited in line and got a shirt with this picture on it:

In fact, I'm wearing it right now. Anyway, we went into the Concert Hall and Weird Al walking in dancing and singing "Tacky". He did ALL the great songs including (but not limited to) White & Nerdy, Amish Paradise, Word Crimes, Fat, I Lost on Jeopardy, Yoda, The Saga Begins, Foil, and Eat It. He also did a song I'd never heard before. It was a spoof of the song Piano Man but he about Spider-Man. Since I am a fan of MARVEL, I loved it. Also the song Piano Man reminds of my childhood. I can seriously remember the first time I heard the song:

I was eating at a local restaurant called Bun Boy (that is sadly closed down now) when the song came over the radio. I literally have flashbacks every time I hear it so Weird Al's version brought back just as many memories as the original.

They played of other Weird Al appearances/references in between and they showed almost everything I like including Gravity Falls, Teen Titans Go, The Big Bang Theory, The Simpsons, MAD, Family Guy, The Cleveland Show, and Epic Rap Battles of History. I wish they would've shown Weasel Stomping Day as that as one of my favorite Robot Chicken clips (Behind The Music:Electric Mayhem is my all time favorite). It also would've been cool to show his brief appearance as the minstrel on Lilo and Stitch:The Series, but that's okay, I had a great time either way.

After the show, we went to Skyline and ate coneys.
