Trigger Happy 1992 on a school bus while going on a field trip. A kid kept singing it and I was annoyed at first but he let me listen to his "walkman" and I got to hear it, and some of Off the Deep End.

Mine was definitely "Eat It." I heard it on the radio when it came out and thought, "how bold is this guy to take a shot at MJ"? I bought the single and really liked the flip, "That Boy Could Dance." I got the cassette (yuck!) of "...3D" and loved the rest of it. Frankly, "Eat It" is the very least of what's on that album.

Don't worry-there are those who date farther back :) I heard My Bologna back in the day.

The first time I heard an Al song, or at least a version of it was in elementary school. My friend was singing "Yoda" in class. That was about eight or nine years ago.

My Dad said he used to play "Fat" when I was a baby, so I think that was the first song I heard that was Al's(i don't remember this, so I'm not sure if it counts). The first song I heard that I knew was Al's, and I actually remember, was "Fat" again when I was 13. My Dad showed me the video on Youtube and I liked it so much that I looked up more of Al's his songs. I have no idea what song made me a fan, I guess it was just gradual with every song I heard.
So...do ya like cheese? Really? Reeaally?

Like A Surgeon, the first song on Dare To Be Stupid. My sister had randomly bought it for my brother saying "It has the names weird and stupid, you'll like it." lol.
My significant other is German. Does that mean they will make me eat a BIG BOWL OF SOURKROUT?!

I remember watching the "Eat It" video when it came out (I was 5 at the time). Seeing Al with the yellow eyes at the end really disturbed me. I can remember having nightmares about it. The horror. ;( The horror.

Can't remember the exact first song, but I believe it was Bedrock Anthem.

"The Saga Begins." I was riding to a Boy Scout camp in a friend's car. RWS had just come out and he put it on for traveling music.
