Occasionally Weird Al does what he calls a "genre parody" which means that he doesn't parody a specific song but a style of music. "Dare To Be Stupid" is a genre parody of Devo and other new wave bands. Weird Al's 1999 album Running With Scissors has five, including a parody of NineInchNails called "Germs." Fellow XPhile kingskand made a fab vid a couple of years ago about all the gross, creepy things Mulder and Scully had to contend with over the years using that song and, c'mon, Weird Al + NineInchNails + Mulder and Scully = are you kidding? I'm all over it and it's definitely put me in a better frame of mind today so give it a click. Just imagine Spotnitz covered in bees, you'll be fine.
What matters most is it's YOUR voice. Scream until it's fucking gone. -- Dave Grohl

I Got The Germiest Hangover
Last night was Trick-or-Treat Night in my town and we handed out over 400 pieces of candy. I counted ten vampires, eight ladybugs, a bunch of cowboys and a rubber duck, among others. My own veterinarian, zombie doctor and water fairy are still sleeping this morning. There was one costume that I didn't get until the kid put her shades on: she was Agent J, MIB. Naturally Men In Black made me think about The X-Files and after Spotnitz's very political answer about the killing of John Porter I needed to take a second to remember all the things I've loved about his writing in the past. Which brings me to Weird Al.

Hi Funky,
ReplyDeleteGiggles! I was too squeamish and didn't get past 45 seconds. But I love Weird Al's parodies.
I hope you feel better soon.
Love and Hugs! Grati
Thanks, Grati...yeah, there were a couple of scenes there that I watched through my fingers the first time but I'm a wimp, lol!
DeleteThis perfect! I could watch Zombies eating people but bugs and germs up close totally gross me out. LOL
ReplyDeleteGotta love Weird Al!
I adore him. *sigh* Y'all can keep your tall hunky British actor, I'll have the loopy accordion player...
