Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the significance of the EP "Internet Leaks?"

Answer: It's Al's first EP where all the songs were available exclusively as downloads

Al said that he released each song independently as a download because he wanted to have his music available to the public and make "each release sort of a mini-event". Thus, he took advantage of companies like iTunes to make his songs available for download.

Source: bullz-eye.com, 11/02/2008.

2. What was unique about the song "Whatever You Like" at the time of its release?

Answer: It had the same title as the original song

"Whatever You Like" was the first Weird Al song that had the same title as the song it parodies. The same titles could get a bit confusing, in my opinion. It was released on October 8, 2008.

3. Whose song did Weird Al parody with "Whatever You Like"?

Answer: T.I.

Al parodied P. Diddy and Chamillionaire in "It's All About The Pentiums" and "White & Nerdy" respectively. T.I. released "Whatever You Like" in 2008.

4. According to the lyrics of "Whatever You Like", the singer always buys what type of bathroom tissue?

Answer: Two-Ply

Al says:

"Baby, you should know I am really quite a sweet guy
When I buy you bathroom tissue I always get the two-ply".

Mid-grade two ply is developed for adequate softness and durability.

5. What article of clothing at Goodwill is nice in "Whatever You Like"?

Answer: Underwear

The song states:

"Thrift store jeans on sale half-price
The underwear at Goodwill is nice"

Sometimes you can get lucky with thrift stores, because people don't always realize the value of what they are giving away. Goodwill Industries helps people find employment and is based in the US.

6. "Craigslist" is a parody of what band?

Answer: The Doors

The video for "Craigslist" was low-budget. It features Al dressed as Jim Morrison of The Doors.

7. Because the coffee shop clerk tried to interrupt his phone call to keep the line moving in "Craigslist", what does the customer threaten to do in his open letter?

Answer: He will not give her a tip

Weird Al refers to the clerk as a "snotty barista." Barista is a term for those who work in coffee shops.

8. What is the singer giving away for free on "Craigslist"?

Answer: Styrofoam Peanuts

Just ask yourself: Do you want my Styrofoam peanuts? You can have my Styrofoam peanuts!

True Weird Al fans would know that tube socks are from "eBay," sauerkraut is from "Albuquerque", and the Star Wars Holiday Special was in the "White & Nerdy" video. "Craigslist" was released on June 16, 2009.

9. What style of music does "Skipper Dan" parody?

Answer: Alternative

"Skipper Dan" is a song about an actor who never made the big-time, and was forced to work at Disney's Jungle Cruise ride. The song was released digitally on July 14, 2009.

10. What play would Skipper Dan have "killed" if he had been in it?

Answer: Speed the Plow

The singer says, "But what's the difference? That's all behind me now".

"Speed the Plow" is the 1988 play by David Mamet. "Twelve Angry Men" is a play written by Reginald Rose, while "Hamlet" was written by William Shakespeare. And for those curious about the obscure reference to "Boeing-Boeing": it is a farce about a man who is dating three airline stewardesses at the same time and his friend who falls in love with one of them. If you ever get the chance to see it, do so. I thought it was brilliantly funny.

11. In the song, what did Skipper Dan's grandfather suggest he major in instead of theater?

Answer: Business

Maybe he could have worked on the business end of the theater. Then he could've made more money and still been involved in productions! The video shows the animated tale of Skipper Dan and was directed by Divya Srinivasan.

12. "CNR" is a style parody of what band?

Answer: The White Stripes

It was the second Weird Al song to be made into a video by JibJab. The first was "Do I Creep You Out?" JibJab is known for the release of its popular internet videos.

13. In "CNR", Charles Nelson Riley jumped off the Chrysler Building and suffered what injury?

Answer: Stubbed Toe

The Chrysler Building is 1047 feet tall. It is the third tallest building in New York City.

14. According to the song, what can you do instead of messing around with CNR?

Answer: Tug on Superman's cape

Superman, of course, is the comic book character made famous by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Personally, I think Superman doesn't even need a cape--it is just a fashion choice!

15. "Ringtone" is a style parody of what band?

Answer: Queen

The song was digitally released on August 25, 2009. Over the years, the band Queen has included members Brian May, Roger Taylor, John Deacon, and Freddie Mercury.

16. What TV series did the video for "Ringtone" premiere on?

Answer: SuperNews!

The show's creators made the video for "Ringtone". Josh Faure-Brac started the animated show "Supernews!" in 2005.

17. In "Ringtone," what object does the main character's wife use to smash his iPhone?

Answer: Brick

Weird Al sings:

"Well, it made my wife so sick
She smashed my iPhone with a brick
But I had it fixed, and now it's just fine"

The iPhone was created by Apple Inc. and was available to the public in 2007. Need to know more ways to destroy an iPhone? There's an app for that!

18. What is the one reason Al refuses to delete the "Ringtone"?

Answer: He hates to waste $1.99

Weird Al was born Alfred Matthew Yankovic on October 23, 1959. He grew up in Lynwood, California.

19. Which of these groups does not hate his "Ringtone"?

Answer: Catholic priests

If you don't like somebody's cell phone ringtone, you can suggest that they put their phone on vibrate!

Weird Al has had huge musical hits with songs like "Eat It" (1984), "Like a Surgeon" (1985) and "Fat" (1988).

20. What year did the EP "Internet Leaks" come out?

Answer: 2009

The EP "Internet Leaks" was released in the summer of 2009. "Whatever You Like" was released in the fall of 2008 and became the first track off the EP.

On May 5, 2007, I saw Weird Al live at the House of Blues in Atlantic City.
