    Weird Al - Pick a three pack
    In our kickstarter thread a lot of people have asked for more than one weird al song.

    We've already got one locked in as a choice, so if we bumped it up to three, what song would you choose from the choices below?

    Keep in mind rights are scattered out across multiple labels so these songs are the ones we have access to that would fit the best with RB. Meaning interesting guitar, vocals, and keys if possible.

    I know it's on the top of everyone's lists but Alberqurque is too long for RBN (you don't really want us to hack out two minutes of the song do you?), and Hardware store isn't with the group that is currently on board with us (maybe once this takes off we'll have access to more.)

    And of course no parodies/polkas (too much like covers). So we're strictly dealing with original material here.

    So here's the choices :
    Germs (Nine Inch Nails 'style' parody)
    http://youtu.be/wqSKqS91UdA

    When I was your age (Eagles/Don Henley 'style' parody)
    http://youtu.be/9kB78hM_lkI

    Nature Trail to hell (early 80's metal style parody)
    http://youtu.be/8clXuI34q6Y

    CNR - (white stripes 'style' parody)
    http://youtu.be/VTwNYjwbwag

    So what two songs would you pick from the above for RB?

    CNR is great, but I'm voting Nature Trail to Hell cause I am old. And it's the best.

    I suppose if you haven't posted it now that you're not going to tell us what your locked-in song is?

    Well if you know what his most famous original song is then you should be able to figure it out.

    Admittedly there are a few choices in that, because Al was no slouch in popularity, but his most popular seems a bit too old and I'd imagine it's on a different label thusly, so I might be thinking of something else entirely.

    But if it is what I'm thinking, all my kisses.

    Either "One More Minute" or "You Don't Love Me Anymore". Either would be great.

    I welcome any and all Weird Al songs to the game. Although, I think "Nature Trail to Hell" would probably be the most fun in this game.
