Talk:"Weird Al" Yankovic
TMBG regarding Weird Al[edit]
I imagine the quote about “We’re trying to shake the yoke of geek rockers,” is less to do with an opinion of Al by TMBG and more of their then-label, Elecktra, trying to fit TMBG into a more commercial peg hole. This was, after all, before they left Electra in 1995.--Pittsburghmuggle (talk) 12:20, 5 April 2022 (EDT)
Should Everything You Know Is Wrong have a page here?[edit]
Seeing as the song known until recently as "I Might Be Giants, Too" does. --ColorOfInfinity (talk) 16:52, 20 July 2023 (EDT)
- I think the difference is that John & John have incorporated IMBGT into their concerts, and platforms including Radio TMBG and the TMBG Podcast. They basically brought it into the band's canon. -CapitalQ ♫ talk ♪ 17:24, 20 July 2023 (EDT)

Everything You Know is Wrong[edit]
I was listening to Al's TMBG tribute "Everything You Know is Wrong" and despite noticing all the references in it over the years I felt stupid realizing all these years later the "meta" reference that it's the same basic pattern of Turn Around in that it's the singer rattling off three surreal stream-of-consciousness stories, followed by a refrain using the title of the song. Duh.--Pittsburghmuggle (talk) 22:45, 27 May 2024 (EDT)
