Bending this thread a little, i am NOW curious on what your dream occupation was as a child. I heard somewhere that Al's dream proffession was to be an architect, (spelt wrong i know) although half way through university he got "bored" of it, and started/continued to make parodies until somehow he was noticed and given a contract. INFACT, how did you guys get famous might be another good question...? Thanks...

My dream was to be a professional drummer.
"We" got famous initally through Dr. Demento, and of course the first few albums spread Al's name & music worldwide.
And while Al was noticed - by Dr. Demento that is - he wasn't "given" a contract. His manager shopped Al's music for about 6 months before anyone would even give a listen.

I know it appears in some of the web interviews I've done... here's a cut & paste from an upcoming one at tigerbill.com:
Q: How did you land the "Weird Al" gig?
A: The old adage "right place at the right time" certainly applies here. I happened to meet Al on the Dr. Demento Show when it was airing live in Los Angeles. He and his accordion were already a staple of the show, though far from a record deal then. That night Al debuted a new song, a parody of Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust" called "Another One Rides The Bus" live on the air. He asked if I'd keep the beat on his accordion case, which I did. I should point out that there was no band then, and no reason to suspect that there was a future of any kind with him, but afterwards I said something like "You need to have a band, and I'll be your drummer." I don't know what made me say that, but I'm glad I did!

Re: Something Personal

I recall somebody posted that info at alt.music.weird-al a while ago. In the days where messages related to Al were actually posted there, that is. :crazy:
Just search the Google archives for "Suzanne Krajewski" in alt.music.weird-al. The poster found this info on the net, so apparently it's fit for public consumption, and no invasion of anyone's privacy.
