..You were a blond half-asian with a bad case of gas, I was wearing a red speedos and hockey mask..
Classic!
Al gets IT i can’t say what IT is and i know he mostly takes it from others who had/have IT nevertheless Al gets IT. Having Ray Manzarek give It to him makes It golden.
Ok now how will the Alphy/Paddy blame Obama for Morrison death…?
Morrison, Jim Morrison, dead?
Even google says it is so…
I got to cut back a bit on the herb, maybe?

Alphy/Paddy are right, don’t laugh.
It’s true Barack Obama admitted to being strongly influenced by Elvis & Jim Morrison of the Doors.
Several of his speeches when played backwards (ex. Beatles’ “Revolution #9, Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven”) show that he is involved in a devious Serbian Russian conspiracy with the Sultan of Brunei to explode a hydrogen bomb over Kashmir using the cover of UNESCO’s one world government network in order to establish a satanic Hindu Muslim Amish Masonic lodge funded through public corruption with ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs..

Your such the tool, you can’t see the sarcasm in the absurdities of a lengthy non-sequitur.
You need a real education.
Just F’nin awesome man! Just awesome!
I was there. I got Jim Morrison’s shirt when he threw it at my girlfriend at a concert. I saw them all. Al it as good as any, but better than most.
It’s good to see that Weird Al is recovering from the shock of the Polka category being yanked from the Grammy’s. What’s next, the designated hitter in the National League?
If Yankovic’s song parody gig proves to be short-lived, he could start a Doors tribute band.
Wow! That’s as good as it gets. Absolute classic Weird Al Yankovic. First heard him live on the Dr. Demento show on 94.7 KMET in Los Angeles about 30 years ago. Amazing career.
At least he isn’t singing about efffing Twitter.

Excellent! One of his best. But don’t make fun of that free garbage can full of foam peanuts! Those things are a real rip-off if you have to buy them.
Great singing, great music, but I must state that while Al sings well, the voice is clearly the voice of Al Yankovic, even after the electronic processing. I’m not trying to be critical, but it is what it is. A Doors tribute band? Maybe, but would the “little girls” swoon to *that* voice?
OTOH, Val Kilmer in the movie The Doors did have the same timbre as JM (at least to my ordinary ears. Somebody with finer sensibilities could tell the difference. Reportedly (by the presenters when the movie is shown on APTN), Ray Manzarek himself said that he could not tell the difference).
Segue-ing to an old book I happen to have read recently, Manzarek’s “Light My Fire: My Life With The Doors” (1998)… it is a good read, IMHO. Manzarek is an artist. He comes across respectful and even loving of almost all of the characters in the true story. But he does have some words for a post-facto character in The Doors story. He keeps his criticism down to mostly short passages, but he gives it to Oliver Stone (maker of The Doors movie) with all barrels blazing (in almost the words of Hoyt Axton’s mom, he’d diss him with his Bible, and his razor *and* his gun). So if you watch that movie, remember that it, in many respects, does not correspond to reality as seen through the eyes of The Doors’s keyboardist.
Which reminds me: Stan Freberg.
