I hope that one of the first questions Al is asked in interviews promoting Poodle Hat, is aside from Suzanne and Joel, what significance do the other characters have? I'm especially interested in the African couple.
I had a theory that they may be in some way representative of the songs on the CD, but there are no lepers there.
Poodle Hat (was ALBUM NAME!)

Oops, I reread your post and realized I was looking at the wrong girl. I was looking at the one on the cover's left, not Al's left. I still stand by what I said that she looks more like Joan Osborne than the former first daughter, but I can see where you are coming from. It's the curly blond hair thing.

Re-reading this topic...
QUOTE And RWS was on the shelves in a few areas a couple of days before the official release date. Where were these stores??
QUOTE The sooner I have Album #12 in my hands the happier I will be. Yep, I wanna skip right over Poodle Hat and get on to the next one.
QUOTE Great album name... \"Innocuous Silhouettes\" Or perhaps, at long last, the Band could have a name: "Weird Al" Yankovic and the Innocuous Silhouettes.
QUOTE although I suppose Al & Suzanne might have another child... I hear that the learning curve is not quite as steep with #2Is that for raising the child or the production of same?
QUOTE Poodle Hat track listing:
1. ÞÞ9·99Þ9Þ9~·9·~ ~ ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

QUOTE does anybody else think the blonde woman at the far left has a slight resemblance to the junior senator from New York?
Perhaps a little... but what would she be doing on a Subway?

Well one was in or near West Caldwell, NJ, where I got mine. And I remember a few other people getting it a day or two early too. I remember it clearly because we were on #weird-al discussing the album (in #weird-al's equivalent of PM, so as not to ruin it for those who didn't want to know) and I was teasing others by mailing them 10-15 second or so sound clips of the songs completely out of context.
Ah, I was so evil!

I meant RAISING the child, silly. Production details are strictly their business.
Although I suppose that the process my father once referred to as "trial and error, and error, and fumbling in the dark" does have a learning curve too.
