I know the real story behind this song. Weird Al originaly wrote this for ex-Rutle, Stig 'O' Hara, for his 1987 album "Ground Zero" Stig asked Al to help produce it. Stig's version is also on "Ground Zero", along with the other hit song about his by-gone Rutle days "When I Was Dead". Weird Al later Joined Stig in a supergroup with Ex-Monkee Davey Jones, Ray Stevens and William Shatner called The Traveling Dingleberrys
Actually, the song is six words, because the real title of the song is "This Song's Just Six Words Long". He just says "song is" instead of "song's" when he's actually singing it, I guess because that was the only way it would work with the melody.
Yes as someone pointed out "I got my mind set on you" is six words long and this is what this song is parodying. Weird Al is funny. He's not there to be analysed!
First off he get to all the People complaining. Weird Al yankovic goesto the singers and gets permission before releasing the songs. And this is not a George Harrison song but yeah he parodies him. The original is from James Ray. Now i am wandering did Mr. Yankovic get permission from Rudy Clark and James Ray?
ok ppl we know its more than 100 words long thats not the point -.- then 6 is a number and six is a word and six also means a number so ok its a awesome song
I've heard the song he's parodying ("Got My Mind Set on You" by George Harrison), and Al couldn't be any more right with this parody. That song DOES seem like it's only six words long-- they just repeat the same two or three verses the whole time!!!!
Ah yes, this song reminds me of the good ol' days when I was probably the only one in my school who knew who Weird Al was. By that I mean two years ago before Weird Al wrote "White & Nerdy".
It's acually 7 words long because This(1) Song(2) Is(3) Just(4) Six(5) Words(6) Long(7)! Why does he call it This song is just six words long instead of This song is just SEVEN words long! Thats weird
This(1) Song's[(2) conjuction of 2 words to make one] Just(3) Six(4) Words(5) Long (6)
BAM!! ***Uses so many random words to rub it in ur face that you were wrong about the title of a song being wrong*** I'm sorry if you think i'm being rude D: i'm actually nice :D
oh yea and whenever numbers are written out if its less than four digits long it is spelled out phonetically, there fore this song's title would be "this song is just six words long" making it seven words but as i have already stated its a mute point...ZING!
yea it was in two separate post..glad to see you can count and tell the difference between replies...OMFG go kill yourself and do the rest of the world a favor
#1:It's not "This song's 6 words long" it's "This song IS just 6 words long"
#2:After "a solo here!!!" it says "When going to the beach always bring a towel, SHUT UP, Ok... wanna get high... NO GO AWAY TOWLEE!!!" First I think it would be TowEley. Second, that's not part of the song and it's just stupid.
ok it has more then 6 words that is part of the joke, and its all about how you dont need words to make a song, and the towl is just something he added for some fun,
"The towel thing" has to do with South park, And a living towel called Towlee or Towlie wich Kenny and the guys tell to sod off, If i'm not mistaken. I haven't seen much South Park so i'm not really sure tough.
In case you haven't noticed, Weird Al has a go at anyone he can get his hands on. I don't see why George Harrison should get off. He kina deserves this treatment for the song anyhow imo...
