Oh god. I don't think WBUL would be safe for Allison to perform, crowd walking.

Re: What if Al was a girl?
I wonder what the change in lyrics would be?
I'm afraid the minister has fallen through the Earth's crust.

Re: What if Al was a girl?
That's a good question, since WBUL is mostly penis jokes. Vagina jokes are still too lewd for today's society.
I think it would just be funny (if not more) if a girl sang and performed it as is rather than make it 'feminine"!

If Al had been female, she would have never made it this far and we would have never heard of her. You can't convince me otherwise.

Yep. The obvious target audience for Al--at least from Capitol's or Scotti Bros's perspective back in the day--was nerdy pre-teen boys. I really doubt that a female parodist would have appealed to that market the same way Al did, no matter how "weird" she was. Also, keep in mind that Al emerged in the MTV era and image was hugely important. Al had the perfect look to represent goofy novelty songs, but a woman who wasn't conventionally attractive would be less likely to get signed, and an attractive woman doing parodies wouldn't fit the mold of what people expected.AlejandraDD wrote:If Al had been female, she would have never made it this far and we would have never heard of her.
