[net.music] Wierd Al`s latest

I caught Weird Al`s "I Lost on Jeopardy" last week.
It indeed was great.  The replica of the old set,
the lyrics and even Art Flemming and Don Pardo!
The cameo by Kihn at the end was also cute.  Having
heard Weird Al for a long time on Dr. Demento, it`s
nice to see him getting some real national exposure.

Another few amusing pieces of trivia about the "Jeopardy" video:

1.  Watch for the cameraman as they begin to drag out Al.  Does he
    look familiar to you?  He should.  It's Al's old pal "Doctor
    Demento", looking positively normal.

2.  Check out the license plate of the car at the end.

	People have mentioned that Don Pardo & Greg Kihn are in the
    Jeopardy video -- but guess who's manning the camera?  Dr. Demento
    himself.  By the way, I thought his first two videos were better,
    and I still think his original songs (Check's in the Mail, I'll be
    Mellow When I'm Dead, Gonna Buy Me a Condo) are better than his
    satires.

Dr. Demento is also in Wierd Al's "I Love Rocky Road" video as the cashier.
