"Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me... Oooh... I'm not sleepy, and there's no place I'm goin' to... In the jingle jangle mornin', I'll come followin' you..."
I think I can safely say that Albuquerque is a classic and anything sang by William Shatner is simply infamous.

Mmm... I suppose it has already been said that there's a Zappa reference in that song, right???

I don't think so, what is it?

The "weasels" part. One of Zappa albums is called "Weasels Ripped Off My Flesh" with a quirky illustration on it.

Oh, I didn't know that, Seva. And jace, with me, they tell me to stop singing Weird Al the whole time!

I was at Boy Scout Camp this past week (yes, I am a Boy Scout. Fwah!) And they made me sing Albuquerque THREE FREAKIN TIMES IN A ROW. (As well as a bunch of other stuff like Ebay, Jerry Springer, Smells Like Nirvana, Livin in the Fridge, Angry White Boy Polka and Couch Potato. I was somehow dragged into doing a live concert for no apparent reason at the trading post. Whee.)
Did you charge them? You should've sang some of your songs.

OK, like one time, I was out in the parkin' lot, tryin' to remove my
excess earwax with a golf pencil, when I see this guy Marty tryin' to
carry a big ol' sofa up the stairs all by himself. So I-I say to him, I
say, "Hey, you want me to help you with that?" And Marty, he just rolls
his eyes, and goes, "No, I want you to cut off my arms and legs with a
chainsaw!" So I did.
And then he gets all indignant on me. He's like, "Hey, man, I was just
being sarcastic!" Well, that's just great. How was I supposed to know
that? I'm not a mind reader, for cryin' out loud. Besides, now he's got
a really cute nickname - Torso-Boy! So what's he complaining about?
Say, that reminds me of another amusing anecdote. This guy comes up to
me on the street and he tells me he hasn't had a bite in three days.
Well, I knew what he meant, but just to be funny, I took a big bite out
of his jugular vein. And he's yelling and screaming and bleeding all
over, and I'm like, "Hey, come on, don'tcha get it?" But he just keeps
rolling around on the sidewalk, bleeding and screaming, "Aaaahhhh!
AaaaahhhhOhhhhh! Aaaaahhhh!" You know, completely missing the irony of
the whole situation. Man, some people just can't take a joke, you know?
thats my most favoritest part!! YAY
