I like him better before the plastic surgery... but, I can't blame him for wanting to score higher quality tail.

In January 1998 Al got LASIK (Laser Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis) surgery to correct his near-sightedness, so he no longer needs to wear glasses.

The bigger coup was shaving the mustache. And ditching the perm.

That said, I have his entire catalog, up through Mandatory Fun, and think he’s as big a part of the success of a lot of the popular artists we hear at any given time as the actual artists.

When I was a kid I remember seeing the video for "Smells Like Nirvana" on MTV and it confused me to the point that I thought the actual song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was Weird Al :lol:

I dressed up as Weird Al doing Coolio for a Halloween gig at a VFW bar one year. A couple of the regulars looked at me like they were going to kick my ass (didn't get the joke) and it took two hours in the shower the next morning to wash the glue out of my hair. :lol:

Alright, let's do it.

Put up your favorite Weird Al tune. This one has stuck with me the most.
