Weird Al Yankovic - Skipper Dan (Alpocalypse)

[MrDannyboy929898]

is that the four horses of apocalypse from red dead on the cover

[SoulmasterGaia]

This song is in a different key than it is on the album.

[azuredragonify]

@stuntmanmike37 are you kidding? the first time i heard it it practically made me cry

[Kenpokid4]

This is kind of better-sounding, like it's not as much of a parody. :P

[WonderWolf13]

Is it just me, or is this the exact opposite of That Boy Could Dance?

[SimuLord]

@WonderWolf13 That is...brilliant!

[TyGuY1080]

This isn't a direct parody of a song, it's a parody of Weezer's style of music (he's done this before with other bands)

[yoshilover1996]

I'm a tour guide, on the jungle cruise ride, Skipper Dan is the name! And I 'm doing 34 shows everyday, and every time it's the same. Look at those hippo's, their wiggling their ears, just like they've done for the last 50 years, Now I'm laughing at my own jokes but I'm crying inside 'cause I'm working on the jungle cruise ride!

[stuntmanmike37]

Man, this song could be a seriously awesome stand alone rock track. They should try to write an alternate set of serious lyrics.

[ipod360addict]

I love this song!!! Is this a parody (if so, what song) or one he wrote the music for?

[MsEcogeek]

Classic Weird Al

[augustholiday]

This song is so depressing. I love it though.

[shinydino]

will this album play in a car? I know that it has the music videos on the disc, so i'm wondering if it has raw music too.

[thomasrinaldo]

i love al

[minyarg]

WEIRD AL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!@

[BuffaloBrent]

Wow this song is kinda depressing.....  Funny, but depressing.

[afiffick]

why is there a whole bunch of his old songs on his new album (craigs list, whatever you like, CNR, jungle cruis ride, and i think ring tone)?

[guanxingpingyu]

@afiffick Those arent new? I'm a HUGE wierd al fan and i been crying about a new album 4ever. Far as im concerned those are new, just not very good. I just dont know new music so maybe im missing something.

[afiffick]

@guanxingpingyu ya they are my brother informed me that they were just released earlier....

[MrHossCartwright]

In my opinion, this is Al's worst album yet. I don't like any songs on it (this one is the most tolerable). And why are there only 12 tracks? Five years and that's all he's got?

[dtanktdtank]

@MrHossCartwright another tat is good

[101guitarchord]

@MrHossCartwright its because there are no good songs for him to parody anymore music has gone down hill

[ShatteredDiamonds100]

@MrHossCartwright Dude if it's so bad why don't you try it? Coming up with a song with the same sound but completely different lyrics as another song is hard

[MrHossCartwright]

@ShatteredDiamonds100

I HAVE been doing it, for years! And I know how hard it is. In fact, Yankovic was my biggest inspiration for doing parody songs myself. Though mine aren't professional and are usually just personal songs about myself & family etc.

[smashmouthrocks]

how dare he make fun of weezer.. i like weird al though

[CrunchBogus]

@smashmouthrocks How is mimicking another band's style "making fun?"

[Barnois52]

@smashmouthrocks bcuz weezer is to good to be made fun of

[blockMblock21]

This soundes a little different then it did in Interant leaks .

I am the only one hears the difference ?

[david9w]

@blockMblock21 i read on one of the other songs that they do that so youtube doesn't take it down SOMETHING LIKE THAT

[LadyFeather99]

HELL YES <3 when i heard the album came out i wondered if there was any weezer

[irjm]

weird al can write a better weezer song than weezer can

[exmruniverse]

???? this is an old song, why is it on Alpocalypse?

[DeathofMagikarp]

Someday I'm going to play this while I'm riding the jungle cruise ride.

[amdrummer90]

Omg. Just got back from Disney world. So funny!

[matt151328]

@SuburbanNemesis true. Yeah after I listened to it a couple times I heard it

[Infowarrior2112]

"There it is, the backside of water"

[ikilledyou69]

half the album are originals not parodies so this is an original

[austinshanghai]

it's just in the style of Wheezer, but it isn't a particular song

[uuurgaah]

Did yu slow this down? The song's supposed to be 4 minutes 1 second nd theres no extra space at the beginning or end.

[VegaThreeCEC]

This song is ten times better if you've actually been on Jungle Cruise. Such a true song and brilliantly written!

[Tenorsax621]

Is this a "Style Parody" of Weezer? Cuz it really sounds like Weezer usually does

[uuurgaah]

@Tenorsax621 it is!! good guess. Wikipedia Alpocolypse for more info on tht song

[chicagofan76]

didnt realize this was going to be on alpocalyse I have had this song for like 2 yrs.

[matt151328]

@SuburbanNemesis

That's not pork and beans...

[SuburbanNemesis]

@matt151328 I know, but its mostly a parody of Weezer and much of the riff is based on Pork and Beans.

[Sorarules21]

such a sweet song!

[RyanFraer]

To be fair, John Lasseter, genius behind Pixar, was a tour guide on the Jungle Cruise at Disney.

[SuburbanNemesis]

pork and beans. FTW

[bostonbakedbeans28]

@SuburbanNemesis its a style parody of Weezer, but not of a specific song.

[King0fBananas]

Makes me sixth love these songs great job Al

[kelstuck23]

[ThatGamer360]

Third!

I love "Weird Al" Yankovic and I'm gonna blow my money on the CD/DVD! I'm even gonna get the LP!

[SpikeyGloveMan0909]

@ThatGamer360 same here

[bigman10239]

[TheOtto0012]
