Al Yankovic

Al Yankovic

Al Yankovic
People say releasing an album is like giving birth, but it’s more like having a gallbladder operation.
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.
Al Yankovic
Maybe I'll make a huge color tapestry from my belly button lint.
Al Yankovic
