The lyrics were just so ridiculous I couldn't get into it.

I was suprised at that, some of his stuff is pretty lame. I also love "Im Fat" |

Also, Steve Jay, the dude who played bass on that and every other Weird Al record since 1983 is probably better than you. |

This live Yoda video is just amazing. His band rocks so hard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81063...eature=related
And yeah, he seems to be getting YOUNGER as the years go by. I claim that its the spirit of his music that keeps him eternally young. For serious.
