So...Emo Phillips is thanked in the CD booklet...who else hopes he's in the Handy video and he cuts his finger off?
Let me be your stripper.

Well apparently, he did say he was going to do something special for the UHF 25th anniversary on 7/21... maybe that's the day the video will come out? It is the last day of the eight day streak...

Re: Mandatory Fun Chit Chat Topic
Has anyone made any progress on memorizing lyrics? Now on the 12th listen, I'm finding myself singing along to small patches of lyrics. No full songs yet though.

Re: Mandatory Fun Chit Chat Topic
I know I had a bit of a head start, but I pretty much sing along with every word, unintentionally. Even songs that weren't favorites at first, like "Tacky" or "Jackson Park Express" (I know...), I find myself singing when out and about without music, if not while listening to the album. I get tongue-tied and mess up some of the wordier stuff, but I wasn't even trying to learn the words in the first place! I'd rather hear Al deliver them flawlessly than feel compelled to backseat mangle them, yet they're just too catchy. I've absorbed them. It was mandatory.

Re: Mandatory Fun Chit Chat Topic
I've heard it about four times or so, and have most of the lyrics down. I'm still pretty rough on Jackson Park Express and I get various parts of the polka mixed up, but other than that I have it pretty well memorized.

Re: Mandatory Fun Chit Chat Topic
Same here. "First World Problems" is the closest but I get lost on the later verses. And I can only think of the words while I'm listening to it--I'd completely botch it if you just asked me to quote it. "My Own Eyes" is sort of the opposite--there are some lines that I know off the top of my head because they made me laugh so much, but I get so into the music that I can't even concentrate on memorizing lyrics (though they're slowly slipping into my subconscious I'm sure).TMBJon wrote:Has anyone made any progress on memorizing lyrics?

"Mission Statement" is probably going to be the most difficult. "Word Crimes" and "Jackson Park Express" are up there as well.

Re: Mandatory Fun Chit Chat Topic
I've memorized "NOW That's What I Call Polka!" and "Inactive" pretty well. Those are the only songs I can say I know cold, but "Foil" is catching up with them.
