Helping public schools, winning prizes, sending a crazy lady in a tomato costume out in public.

Also, check out the guy who sings — and acts out — movie theme songs. Jaws is probably my favorite, although the Superman verse where he sings about wearing his underpants on the outside is hilarious also.
…Does he remind anyone else of a certain person?
I’ve (re-)discovered a few things over the course of the recent Days Of Rage. Some of them are great!
I found it while researching a murder (…this is a sentence I have more frequent use for than most), the true story of a neighborhood legend from my childhood. I grew up in a leafy, …
Does that certain persons name rhyme with Beard Pal?
Oh hell yeah. Weird Al!
Yes! (hee, “Beard Pal”)
I don’t know if it’s more reminiscent of Al because it’s a musical parody, so that puts me in mind of Al anyway, but I really don’t think so. Around the chin and mouth, I think they do look alike.
Thank You! I don’t usually troll around YouTube because their search system drives me insane, but I was laughing hysterically. He does look like Weird Al, with softer features and less unfortunate hair.
Hee Hee! That was a riot! Hilarious musical theater face. Sometimes you just have to pause and think about how much work actually went into that. Yeah…
Ok, beyond hilarious, I loved the Back to the Future one. Lots of work, and frankly if that means the guy has no life I’m ok with that, since they are stellar.
Those videos are hialrious…and halfway through the Superman one I realized that I knew this guy waaaaaaaaaay back in 1996. Total time-wasting reconnection email, here I come!
You KNEW this guy?! That is awesome.
Hey! I’m Andy! Shanna directed me to the blog after her awesome time-wasting reconnection email. Thanks for posting the vids. Its always good to hear some positive feedback, especially if its in direct correlation to a certain Beard Pal! He’s on of my favorite entertainers ever. The song FAT from EVEN WORSE was the first song I ever purchased with my own money. If ya did like these, I just finished writing one to Halloween.
eeeee! Hey, Andy! (Rock on, Shanna.) I actually lip-synched to “Fat” in a talent show once; I even had backup dancers. It’s all a circle of love!
Can’t wait to see the new song; keep us posted.
