World of Weird Al Yankovic

I noticed there wasn't a topic for this song (as far as I could see), so I decided to make one! I personally like this song, it's pretty funny. What are your guys thoughts?

BTW, I remember reading somewhere that this song samples "Money" by Pink Floyd at about 2:46. I would normally think this is just a stock sound effect, but if you listen very faintly, in the background after the cha-ching of the register, you can hear sounds that sound similar to "Money." Anybody have any insight?

I think there was no topic for this because most people rank it as one of their least favorite parodies. I know I do.

As for sampling "Money", I've never heard that before but I just listened to both and it does sound like the same Ka-ching at the beginning of "Money". Could be they both used the same stock sound. There doesn't seem to be any logical reason to sample the Pink Floyd song.

EDIT: I didn't realise that the cash register sounds on "Money" were specifically recorded for that song, so I guess what I said can't be true.

Most people? I think its a great song. Granted it's only my opinion, but since there has been no discussion I dont think it can be a blanket statement. AS far as the Money question, I agree and think it's just a stock sound effect.

Yeah, I don't think it's fair to say most people rate this song low on their list. I like it, too. It is odd that it took this long for someone to start a topic about it. I'm also guessing that the cash register sound was just a stock sound effect, and not a sample.

I like this song, but I don't love it by any means.

I think this song is ok. There's nothing really special about it, IMO.

It's not even called alimony anymore.

As for the sound effect, listen very carefully and you can hear three distinct noises, a Ka-Ching of a register, the ripping of money, and the clinking of coins. LISTEN!

I love this song as well! I think it's fantastic.

Believe it or not, I don't really have any opinion on this song. It's good. It's nothing special, but it's definitely good. I like the live performance feel of it. That's something unique to an Al song.
