[edit] Merge with Weird Al Yankovic

FYI, I'm working on the merge here. --Telesilla 00:42, 6 November 2006 (PST)

Edit continues. Weird Al without quotes has been merged and redirected. Now reviewing the lyrics pages. --Telesilla 02:38, 6 November 2006 (PST)

[edit] SOTD nominations

I noticed that song by Weird Al regularly get nominated for Song of the day. Though I agree that his songs are good and he makes brilliant parodies, there are so many other good artists on this site that deserve a nomination. Before you nominate a song of Weird Al Yankovic again, please consider a different song first. For inspiration, search for your favorite artist or just grab a random page.

[edit] False attribution

As I browsed through this page, I noticed a lot of songs falsely attributed to "Weird Al". A common misconception is that Weird Al is the only parody/comedy artist. This is far from the truth. Weird Al has a catalog of songs he wrote here. And yes, he did write "You're Pitiful", he just didn't release it through the record company. 68.166.65.77 20:19, 27 November 2006 (EST)

-Sorry bout that, didn't realize that there were those he wrote for the Dr. Demento Show. 68.166.71.235 20:32, 5 December 2006 (EST)

[edit] More al

can some one find the lyrics to 1982 polka medley,The uncut version of the Alternate Polka and An extended version of Polkas On 45 ,which has highway to heven, all are done by Weird Al.

[edit] Barney's On Fire?

If Weird Al never made the song, why is it in the article? It even says another artists name on it.

Probably because whoever redirected the page just forgot to delete it from the song list. I have corrected it.

[edit] Not al's

"Ugly Girl" is not Al's work. Neither is "Windows 95 Sucks" for that matter. And "Young, Dumb, and Ugly" is Al's but he put it in an album. 68.166.66.135 11:03, 25 February 2008 (EST)

[edit] The "s

I think the page title should stay the same, but on the "artists" page it should be under W. The thing 17:53, 23 June 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Cleanup

Many of these songs that aren't under albums such as "Bomb Sadam" and "Hooker on a corner" are not by Al, and other songs are there, despite being in albums. Please fix this. His website has a list of songs by him, if needed. 71.173.1.212 00:49, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

This is a wiki, so visitors like yourself can contribute by attributing these songs to their correct artist. Once the song pages have been moved or (if they already exist under the correct artist) redirected, then they can be removed from the Other Songs list. New users can't move pages, but if you can tell us what artist each song should be attributed to, they can be moved for you. Just leave a note here.    Kiefer    talk    contribs    admin   02:18, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
