World of Weird Al Yankovic

I really hope he does UHF this tour, and that's one he really should do every night, and I could see it, I could see it being the opener of the show, or in the off chance he doesn't end the show with Yoda or Albuquerque, I could see it being the finale too.

I would be fine without Yoda, but I feel like if there's any exception to the 'no parody' rule, that would be it.

.... Unless...

Well that's an interesting thought I just had.

It would be cool if he did one parody a night, but a really old one he hasn't done in many years, like, Like A Surgeon, I Lost On Jeopardy, ect.

I think they should open the show with a live version of "Fun Zone". Al could even still be brought out to this as there is no accordion and no vocal (other than some cheers, "hey"s, and exclamations). And nobody has ever seen them do "Fun Zone" live.

I think they just may! And Al would do the majority of the keyboard as he did in the 80's. Probably will most of set!

Heard from a very reliable source this was at least discussed

Thank God. This would make me the happiest person in the world.

Yoda is Al's signature song and should be played every night - perhaps the 1981 demo arrangement. Solo accordion.

It's extremely common for live concerts to feature covers even with the biggest artists, and I bet they're itching to do some themselves (remember a couple tours ago when they'd do a snippet of a straight cover when asking the audience for requests?)

Love this idea...and with Jon saying in a recent audio interview that Al has been considering doing some straight covers on this tour...it's definitely possible. Plus with all the recent covers he has done recently (What is Life, Just a Girl, Refugee, etc) makes me really hope this happens.
