@MiniKirk Paul and Weird Al are great friends, but Free As a Bird is a Beatles song, and it's parody needs to be approved by Ringo and the other Beatles' widows to be commercially released. And the reasong Chicken Pot Pie wasn't released is because Paul and his wife, who were in the band that released the original, were vegetarians. Weird Al always respects the people he wants to parody.
Gee im a nerd (Free as a bird) was permitted by Paul McCarney but that bitch Yoko Ono who controls the decisions of John Lennon said no. Thus denied permission.
He does some songs that artists don't want him to record, though there is no law against it, Al respects their wishes.. One song here "Chicken Pot Pie" McCartney (a fan) didn't want him to put it on record because he is vegetarian. But so is Al. Don't know if he recorded SA.
A picture published in Le Journal Amusant of an accordionist and a man playing snooker who stated in the caption: "One does not yet have the right to kill the people who play this instrument, but there is hope that we will soon get it."
Incase anyone is wondering about the exact date I THINK it might be October 19, 1997, Phoenix, AZ, Arizona State Fair. The reason why I think that is cause I know for a fact Bermuda has a proshot from that show. And this show did indeed take place in 1997.
You should have seen the look of surprise I got when "Gee I'm a Nerd" started playing! Wow! Haha! Weird Al is not just the coolest guy ever, he's a genius too!! But how can I listen to "Free as a Bird" now without laughing..?
It doesn't seem to make a difference that it was a screen, in fact half the time I forgot! This is great footage! I saw on his website the medley songs but I never heard it!
BAHAHAHA!! That look at 4:00 is priceless :D
