I used Toledo. Doesn't rhyme at all.iisryan27 @ Jul 18 2006, 02:35 PM wrote: I used "Yams" for my Yeah parody.
Anyway... with "Yeah" and "BoBD", since there is no title (as much I would like this to happen) I don't think it'll be on the album.

Well, we did have the bulletin from Chamillionaire telling us there would be Green Day and Usher parodies, so that still could be true. We just can't be sure which songs. This link to a so-called track list for ALbum 12 sounds fishy to me as well.
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:
"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11
So awesome!
Al Team #325

I finally tracked down a copy of "Yeah" and it turns out that I've heard the song before at the gym, but never paid it much attention. I tried listening to it now, and... well, I couldn't get through the whole thing.
So, if Al parodies this song, I hope his version is listenable. But at this point, I wouldn't mind at all if he picked another Usher song to parody instead.

OFF TOPIC BUT RELATING TO AL:
I see where you're coming from- it's even duller on stage. But then again, Westbury/North Fork is a very small, revolving stage.
ON TOPIC, RELATING TO THIS USHER PARODY:
Dear Al,
Please make the 'Yeah' parody (if it IS that) listenable. If not, next summer I'll be the one holding my ears.

While Usher was pretty big about a year ago, Al tends to parody only the most popular songs of the time. I think, if any song, he would parody "Yeah", solely because it was so huge. Usher's other songs don't own up to the popularity of "Yeah". Think of "Lose Yourself" and "Ridin". Even "Caught Up" feels tiny beside those.
Oh, and, Mecca, I don't know what you're talking about, but "Yeah" is a great song.

That's a good point. Al usually parodies the most popular songs of popular artists. "Lose Yourself" probably wasn't Em's biggest hit, but his other big hits already had a comedy slant to them so it would have been silly to parody them. But "Hot in Herrre" is certainly a prime example.iisryan27 @ Jul 24 2006, 03:06 PM wrote: While Usher was pretty big about a year ago, Al tends to parody only the most popular songs of the time.

I personally can't stand "Caught Up." I usually turn the station whenever it comes on. So I'm hoping it's "Yeah" that gets parodied. I don't really like Usher very much AT ALL, but at least on "Yeah," there's Ludacris and Lil John, making it more of a rap song than Uhser's usual snooze-fests.

I hope "Yeah!" is the target song, too. It's the most recognizable of Usher's songs (even to a non-fan like me), and there's a lot of comedy potential with all the changes in tone (Usher's smooth jam to Ludacris' borderline-misogynist rap, not to mention all of Lil John's "vocal stylings" in the background). Could be funny stuff.
But I still can't figure out what the parody could possibly be! There aren't too many places where you can take "Yeah!", but then I'm simply a mere mortal. Al will make it look easy.
