Al Yankovic
You can play some schlock like New Kids On the Block.
Al Yankovic
Not any specific one, but I was a huge fan of Frank Jacobs, I guess he wrote the plurality of the song parodies for MAD, Sam Hart, a few others, but that was also where I was first exposed to the art form of song parodies.
Al Yankovic
Nows the time to go for all the gusto you can grab. You'll have plenty of time to be low-key when you're laid out on the slab.
Al Yankovic
Boys like Peter are afraid of alot of things, like nuclear annihilation and flunking algebra, but they're not afraid of wolves.
Al Yankovic
When I swore that you're getting more and more beautiful everyday. Well, I was only kidding, honey.
