probably should've used a smaller font or a bigger piece of paper or something. What a drag, huh? I guess we didn't plan this out very well. you know what? The rest of these lyrics aren't gonna fit on here. except of course for the undeniable fact that every single morning my mother would. Well anyway, back then life was going swell and everything was juuuuust peachy.
Way back when I was just a little bitty boy living in a box under the stairs in a corner of the basement of the house half a block down the street from Jerry's Bait Shop. Initially, Al wanted to make a song that people just hate. The one, the only, the crowd pleaser, the endlessly changing, the ultimate concert song, and widely considered by many as number one. In the longest song he's recorded, Weird Al talk-sings about AAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLBUQUERQUE (actually, the point of the story is- Oops, that would be spoiling. Type: Style Parody of The Rugburns* (particularly Dick's Automotive) B! (B!), U! (U!) *pauses* QUERQUE! and the grand finish. Then there's the freakin' title drop, of course, 26 and half years old, "I hate it when I'm right", Zelda break-up, TORSO BOY, I was off by 3, leaving the crash as an afterthought, the crap he brought out of the wreckage, The "epic" brawl at the Holiday inn, the entire doughnut shop saga, the weasels, Well, I knew what he meant, But just to be funny, I took a big bite out of his jugular vein, You know, completely missing the irony of the whole situation Man, some people just can't take a joke, you know? It's okay, they're clean! All the screaming, the REAL point to the song, I said A! (A!), L! (L!). My absolute favorite vocals are "had my tray table up" and " If you'd like to make a call" and the screaming replacing the 3rd one. Water is obvious.īest Part: AMAZING use of instruments, the band really shines, particularly the guitar. Oh, and the elephant joke is: (You know how I know? It's because we're in Africa), whereas the tiger's is: (But don't worry folks, we're currently 19 feet away. If you're wondering about why I put so many Type categories, it's because despite Al attributing it to Weezer, people still vehemently say it doesn't sound like Weezer (Speaking of which, I didn't like Pork and Beans). In fact, the ones who hated it appear to be actors. Reaction from Real Life Skipper Dans? They loved it. There, Al chatted with the Skipper, who said that he is actually an actor, and the legend began. SO anyway, the origins of the song is while Al and his family went on a family vacation on Disneyland, they went on the Jungle Cruise Ride. Ahh, listening to Skipper Dan for 3 weeks straight.
Right from the start, this song drew me in with the guitars, then the vocals and background chorus kicked in, and perfection just permeates through the air. Ladies and gentlemen, my personal favorite and absolute clear #1 Weird Al Yankovic song. Weird Al sings from the perspective of a down on his luck actor, who has no choice but to work on The Jungle Cruise Ride as Skipper Dan. Pork and Beans)/Style Parody of Fountain of Wayne/Whatever the hell you want it to be In the Video, Skipper Dan's opposing female actor apparently became a Skipper as well, and just as miserable. Type: Original/Style parody of Weezer (esp. Why don't you measure in business instead? IT AIN'T EXACTLY WHAT I PLANNED but I'm a tour etc. I'm still workin' on the Jungle Cruise ride! The Skipper jokes (AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN as well as the actual jokes). Look at those hippos, they're wigglin' their ears, just like they've done for the last 50 years Now I'm laughin' at my own jokes, but I'm cryin' inside 'Cause I'm workin' on the Jungle Cruise ride/Somebody shoot me, 'cause I'm bored to tears! Always said I'd be famous, I guess that I lied, 'Cause I'm workin' on the Jungle Cruise ride. I was sure that Tarantino would be callin' me on my phone, Annie Liebowitz would shoot me for Rollin' Stone, but the years have come and gone and I'm sorry to say, that's not the way that it's all worked out, I'M A TOOOUUURRR GUIDE ON THE JUNGLE CRUISE RIDE, Skipper Dan is the name, And I'm doin' 34 shows every day, and every time it's the same. Chorus, verses, background chorus, key change, the music itself.
