That was a while ago.

I'm sure there are other connections out there, but I think the one I was thinking of at the time started with the movie "10".

Alan Menken composed songs for "Aladdin", where Gilbert Gottfried did a voice. Gilbert was also a guest on the Weird Al Show.

In the Weird Al Millionaire thread, I asked the question "Which of these musicians did not perform on Poodle Hat?", with the answer being a guy named Mike Bordin. Would anyone like to try this one? (I would recommend doing a search if you take this challenge. I did, and while I knew a 3 degree connection before, I may have found a 2 degree connection.)
