@acdha @krelnik I would 100% support and purchase the results of Weird Al training an LLM on his own and appropriately licensed music to create a Weird A.I. album.

#WeirdAl is, one may assume, already on this

Yankovic is one of the unsung geniuses of my generation & if he's not already working the flex btw A-littleL & A-bigI, I'll eat all my hats

@PeachMcD @acdha @krelnik unsung‽ I can assure you, he is very much sung! There are quite a few songs where I struggle to think of the original version rather than his parody of it. Amish, I mean Gangsta’s Paradise, prominently among them. Lourde’s Tin Foil, I mean Royals, being another excellent example.

A few years ago, I finally added "Lump" by the Presidents of the United States of America to my drivetime playlist. When it came up, I tried to sing along. But I could barely remember any lyrics! Of course, every word of Weird Al's "Gump" came flooding back into my mind.
@KinkyTurtle @PeachMcD 🎶 Gump sat alone on a bench in the park / my name is Forrest he’d casually remark 🎶

@joshourisman @PeachMcD

Yeah basically I was going "Lump sat alone on a bench in the park, I mean boggy marsh, my name is Forrest, I mean totally motionless..."
