I thought so too. Maybe the look of the hat was a fortunate coincidence.

I know I'm late to the party, but I like this song and video Good music--after hearing it, I checked out some stuff by Southern Culture on the Skids--and despite all the celebrities mentioned, I can see this song aging well.

Re: Lame Claim to Fame
Finally!! The local classic rock radio station here in Ottawa played a "Weird Al" Yankovic original! Just heard Lame Claim To Fame and then they had people call in with their lame claims. They never ever play Al on our classic rock station and I always whine about that so that's good.
What a racket they're makin', Jack, they keep me up at night playin' their electric guitars!!

Re: Lame Claim to Fame
LCTF is definitely my favorite song from MF. IMO it's one of the best originals of all time. The video is also just pure genius!

Some people say I'm the one who got Al to be in an Epic Rap Battles of History.

Re: Lame Claim to Fame
A disabled woman just posted this link on twitter - http://rebelwheelssoapbox.tumblr.com/po ... l-fan-with" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
She calls Al out for using the word "lame", and posts both definitions. Not once did I think Al was referencing someone who can't walk. I really think some people are over-sensitive. She used the term "ableist", which I hadn't heard until all of the uproar about the use of "spastic" in "Word Crimes". So, this woman has never referred to anything sub-standard or weak as "lame"? Really? Spare me.

4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:
"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11
So awesome!

Re: Lame Claim to Fame
Haha! For sure. Reminds me of Leslie Nielson in "The Naked Gun" - "Nice beaver".

Re: Lame Claim to Fame
Seriously? People really need to get lives. So this woman thinks Al was saying that he had a claim to fame that left him unable to walk? That's just laughable.
Oh by the way, I've cracked the code.

Re: Lame Claim to Fame
Haha, good one, Kevbo. How in the hell is "lame" in this context ableist? Btw, who came up with that term? My angel Derek was in a wheelchair most of his life, and not once did I ever hear that word. I think that term is , and all of you know what I mean.
