More quotes by Al Yankovic
It's hard to really articulate what the parameters are that make one song parody-able and another song not, but if I can come up with a good enough idea for it, I go for it, and if not, then I have to move on.
Al Yankovic
When I go to my live shows it's often a multigenerational audience, a family bonding experience.
Al Yankovic
He died a long painful death. However, you'll be happy to hear that just a few years later he was reincarnated as Shirley MacLaine.

I don't want to pooh-pooh modern pop. I appreciate that as well, but my personal favorite kind of music is guitar-based rock. I like grunge and garage bands and alternative music, but that's more my personal taste.
Al Yankovic
I'm watching the charts every week and hoping something will pop into my head.

You don't need to be defined by your job.
Al Yankovic
My wife went off with Elvis.
Al Yankovic
I'm still a geek on the inside, that's the important thing.
Al Yankovic
I guess I lost a little bit of self-esteem that time that you made it with the whole hockey team.
Al Yankovic
No Joni Mitchell 8 track tapes in my car.
Al Yankovic
Left all my Beatle records out in the sun, got a coke bottle stuck on the end of my tongue.
Al Yankovic
I have very mixed feelings about it. On one hand, I’m concerned that the rampant downloading of my copyright-protected material over the Internet is severely eating into my album sales and having a decidedly adverse effect on my career. On the other hand, I can get all the Metallica songs I want for FREE! WOW!
Al Yankovic
Kind of wish I was dead. Maybe, I'll blow my brains out, mama, or maybe I'll go bowling.
Al Yankovic
Probably 90 percent of my albums have polka medleys.
Al Yankovic
I'm very analytical, I'm very precise.
