One thing that I was going to point out but didn't, was that in the video, when he talks about "Leaf Blower stops to blow", his mustache disappears! Probably got knocked off his face by the leaf blower.

This video was about what I was expecting. Didn't really enhance the song in the same way that The Foil video did, but it was enjoyable to watch. The terrible special effects gave me the best laughs honestly.

Seems like the internet has spoken as well. Haven't seen anyone share this video on facebook, and Al's not trending today.

I guess so, but he might have done well enough to get himself either a number 1 or 2 position on the billboard

Oh absolutely, he's still had an incredible week and is poised to chart very high. Just doesn't seem like this video specifically is getting much attention.

Definitely. I posted this one on FB and got only one like outside of WOWAY people. The others all got at least a dozen likes each.

I wonder if the response to the videos will have an impact on which song he does on Conan. I kind of assumed he would have already picked, but maybe he wanted to do whatever parody got the biggest reaction and that's why he's on tonight instead of Monday or Tuesday, when the appearance would have coincided better with the release.

Don't feel too bad. I have DirecTV but I still can't stay up for it because adulthood. You'll probably see it before I do!

My guess is that he would already have had that decided. I really think "Lame Claim to Fame" would appeal to Conan's audience a lot more than "Handy." Plus, his voice is so auto-tuned in "Handy," that a live performance wouldn't be very entertaining at all. I'd be disappointed with a "Handy" performance honestly. Plus, his voice is so auto-tuned in "Handy," that a live performance wouldn't be very entertaining at all.

There is a possibility that he could do a performance of "Foil." It would be easily enough to replicate the basic premise of the video in a live performance on Conan. We shall see.
