Al Yankovic
How can you get bored if the audience is cheering and laughing at something you're doing?
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
