Weird Al did a concert here in Muncie. I didn’t get to go… but my Chemistry prof. did. ☹

What amazes me is his ability to do voices; he almost always sounds exactly right.

What always cracks me up on that Behind the Music is Coolio’s response. I love when he says, “It ain’t like it was ‘Beat It.’” The tune wasn’t originally Coolio’s, either. Coolio stole the tune from Stevie Wonder’s “Pastime Paradise.”
