On July 15th, W
eird Al Yankovic is releasing his 14th album and today they released the tracklisting for Mandatory Fun. At this point, we don’t know what songs he is parodying on the CD that is available for preorder now. But it appears that he won’t be doing the one I was hoping he’d do. I was really wishing he was going to record his version of Psy’s Gangnam Style as Polka Style. Could you imagine the video he would’ve done for it?
On that note, starting on July 14th, he will be releasing a music video a day for 8 days from Mandatory Fun. And it will be mandatory fun to watch them all.
Below are the songs from the album and I’m thinking Word Crimes might be Blurred Lines. Have you been able to decipher what other tunes he is giving his own twist to on it?
1 – Handy
2 – Lame Claim to Fame
3 – Foil
4 – Sports Song
5 – Word Crimes
6 – My Own Eyes
7 – NOW That’s What I Call Polka!
8 – Mission Statement
9 – Inactive
10 – First World Problems
11 – Tacky
12 – Jackson Park Express
