“Weird Al” Yankovic has a new video animated by JibJab Media of _This Land_ fame: [Do I Creep You Out](http://www.jibjab.com/weird_al/do_i_creep_you_out) The animation has really improved. The way the characters’ heads move around is very realistic- maybe that’s because, unlike the political figures being satrized in JibJab’s previous videos, Al was an active participant in this video. Presumably, they were able to scan/photograph the head of him and the actress playing his would-be girfriend in different directions in order to get the required positions. Special thanks to [the last guy in the police lineup](http://www.cartoonresearch.com/about.html) for pointing this video out on his website. ---

OK, I’m pathetically uncool. What song is this a parody of? And to me, the best part of this link was that it led to the discovery of the pants-wettingly funny [Karaoke for the Deaf](http://www.jibjab.com/jokebox/jokebox/jibjab/id/7234/jokeid/6419)! 😃 ---

It’s also not a flash anim per se, it’s rendered, so they can be a lot more liberal with filesize. ---

[QUOTE=singular1] OK, I’m pathetically uncool. What song is this a parody of? [/QUOTE] The song is a parody of _Do I Make You Proud_ as performed by Taylor Hicks of _American Idol_ fame. ---

Excellent video and a great song. The original “Do I Make You Proud” is one of those ubersappy crappy love songs and Al twists it into a creepy as hell stalker tune. Great stuff. ---

Never heard of JibJab before, I’ll have to check out the rest of the site now. I knew it was a parody of “Do I Make You Proud”, but only because, having bought the CD, I read the liner notes before hearing the song. I’ve still not yet heard the original “Do I Make You Proud”, and had to be told that the original aritst was an _American Idol_ person. ---

I think the stalker guy is animated using Al’s face. Sure seems to fit his features. I love the bit near the beginning with stalker guy hiding his face in the newspaper - you can see the inside article is titled “Stalker on the Prowl” and has his picture. 😃 ---

Slight hijack - I about peed myself laughing at [Shawshank in a Minute](http://www.jibjab.com/great_sketch_experiment/video/shawshank) on the same website (warning: moderately not safe for work). ---

Gold, I say–pure gold! I was worried whether my enjoyment of Weird Al would suffer because I don’t listen to very much of the current music he parodies on the new album. I needn’t have worried. ---
