My Bologna

[scottidog]

I have been listening to My Bologna (Capitol Records Single Version) from PR. It sounds the same to me as what I already had from WAY, and TFA. Is it the same version?



I sure wish they had put the first, original Dr D. version on PR. I'm not sure I have heard that version other than the clip on Driven where Jon and Al were on the Tom Snyder show.



Oh the years of being deprived of Dr. Demento. Egads. Can you imagine if Al had grown up in my neighborhood? He would be designing buildings today! <Scottidog shudders at the thought. Not that he wouldn't do a superb job, just like he does on everything.>



A world without "Weird Al". Too sad to contemplate! No OMM, no Albuquerque. No UHF. Yikes.

If the "My Bologna" track on your box set has ANY instrument in addition to the accordion, then you have the early "error" version of the first disc....which was then corrected very early on.



So this of course leads to the question....did you buy it new at a retail store?

[scottidog]

Ok. So I am a dork. My Media Player had been giving me the version from TFA instead of the one from PR. NO wonder it sounds exactly the same.



Never mind.

I prefer the original version. In fact, I even brought a boom box into the men's room at Cal Poly and played the song in there. I also brought my life-sized cardboard "AL". Just call it "performance art". :listen:

into the men's room at Cal Poly

There was a man in there, he left very quickly!

[scottidog]

Did he have a silver suit and long curly tresses? Or mayby a Hawaiian shirt and vans?

Here's another Al-in-the-bathroom anecdote (I mean the one across the hall from KCPR! Sheesh!)

So he DID argue against the homogenizing tendencies of the station management.

Good surfing OE. An "I was there" for the burping in the stalls. Can't wait to check out the acoustics!

Can't wait to check out the acoustics!

At least wait until you're sure the room isn't being put to its originally intended purpose! :lookround:

The link freezes up my IE. What's the gist of the article?
