"Yeah!" isn't there, but a couple of his other recent hits are on his...oh, you know.

Caught Up gets played a lot on Radio Disney... Maybe Al will parody Caught Up? I dunno, Bought Up? Threw Up? Screw Up?!

To me, the upside of a Yeah parody is the possibility of seeing Al playing Lil Jon in a video. 
Then again, Yeah is pretty dated compared to the others, so if there's a Yeah parody, it's probably the last parody on the album.

Sorry, had to.

You know, that could be a good thing if there's no video for this parody.
Thanks to Dave Chappelle, I think the Lil Jon parody thing has been pretty much done to death. Unless Al's parody directly spoofed the Lil Jon "yyyeaaaahhh" thing, I don't think it would be very easy for Al to be original in parodying Lil Jon. Usually I'd think Al would be able to pull off original comedy for any subject, but Lil Jon is pretty one-dimensional and I think Chappelle covered all of those bases.

One dimensional? Compaired to whom?
Anyways, I'm kind of hoping Al will choose to do a parody of Burn. It was a little bit of a lesser known single, but it has great parody potential. My Boo would be great, as well, but he'd need a guest for that one.

I'm going to say that Caught Up will be parodied. I personally think Al could do much more with that than "Yeah". "Burn" is another good possibility.

Ugh. I hate "Caught Up." If he has to do an Usher song, I really hope it's "Yeah."

Who said the chorus had to rhyme with "Yeah"?Bruce the Duck @ Jul 18 2006, 12:06 PM wrote: I really don't get the appeal of Usher. But of course working with kids it's impossible not to know who he is. Kids (especially girls) absolutely Usher these days. To me he's pretty mediocre compared to other artists on the hits radio stations, though. I agree that it's almost certain that "Yeah" will be the song parodied.
Now the question is what the heck rhymes with "yeah" that Al could repeat several times and make into a funny chorus?
I like the idea of a song called "Al!"
Btw, Usher reminds of a young Ben Vereen, although Ben is a much better dancer. I can see what the appeal is when it comes to that.
