World of Weird Al Yankovic

You never fail to make me laugh, Seva. You're one of a handful of people I really missed in my absence.

Weeeeeeeee missed you too, buddy. I'll never be absent from now on, I promise.

SEVA.

Yeah, that was pretty funny, Seva! I'm listening to "Royals" for the first time. I dunno, the kind of snapping thing going on gives it parody potential. It does kinda drag, but you know Al could pep it up. Hopefully, it won't be a "Syndicated Incorporated" clone. OTOH, it would fit nicely into the polka medley.

I keep hoping this will be a culmination of actual polkas...

Please don't hurt me.

HAHA!! This girl with German heritage would love that! Possibility it will happen: less than 27%. Much less....

The Wikipedia page for "List of 'Weird Al' Yankovic Polka Medleys" contains the following:

The following songs are contained in the medley:

"Wrecking Ball" by Miley Cyrus
"Chocolate" by The 1975
"Oh Love by Green Day
"What If This Storm Ends? by Snow Patrol
and more TBA

First of all, this is from Wikipedia, so I know it's not reliable. Secondly, this just doesn't seem right to me. "Wrecking Ball" Is an obvious polka target, and I would expect it to be in the polka. Having said that, the other three songs would surprise me. "Chocolate" was not a big hit in the US by any means. It peaked at Number 80 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Oh, Love" peaked at Number 97 on the Billboard Hot 100, though it did hit Number 1 on the Billboard Rock charts. "What If This Storm Ends?" didn't even chart. I guess since "Chocolate" and "Oh Love" charted, they would be somewhat fair game for the polka, but "What If This Storm Ends?" would seem to be a very strange choice.

None of these songs (with the exception of "Wrecking Ball") seems like it was very prominent, but then again, I'm not always very up on current pop music. I'm thinking this is a fake.

If someone knew the songs in the medley, why would they only list four? FAKE!

What do people get out of posting fake information about the album? It's never funny or clever. It only gets our hopes up and wastes our time.

I should note that I'm not the source of this information. I got it from Wikipedia. However, I agree with you. I really don't know why people take the time to come up with fake track listings and other information about the album. It's very annoying, and it results in more skepticism than is necessary.

"What If This Storm Ends" came out on a Snow Patrol album from 2008. They've since had another album in 2011. There is absolutely no way that this is possibly reliable information.
