World of Weird Al Yankovic

Ah, so technically, they are mentioned, but by their more common name. Gotcha.

Bismarks are usually filled with custard or pudding. I can't stand jelly donuts. Nor could I handle a box of crazed weasles.

Yeah, I don't think starving crazed weasels would taste very good, even with chocolate coating or jelly filling...

So what about chocolate covered raisins?

They are also not in the song. This topic has been skirting Off Topic territory, can we reign it in?

But I love me some Raisinets. Mmm Mmm

Well, if Bismarks are filled with custard and not jelly, they're still on topic, since Al mentions Bavarian Cream filled donuts. That's a really nummy custard donut. Mmmmmmmm!

I'd rather have a jelly donut than a box of one dozen starving, crazed weasels, though.

Now you all want me to go to Krispy Kreme.

So what about the reference to Columbia House. Do you think it was designed to be a slam?

Joining the Columbia Record Club is indeed a greater commitment than having a wife and 2 kids

re: Bismarks in MN they're filled with jelly, and people in NY don't know what they are -- the donut shops don't carry them. Perhaps in WA they're filled with custard.
Very regional donut.

I don't think the record club reference is a slam, just another pop-culture reference. That whole line, with its takeoff on the fragility of some relationships and the onerousness of subscribing to a club where you have to send stuff back on a tight deadline if you don't want it, is a great example of the subtle humor of Weird Al.

That song is completely cool in every way!
