Weird Al Yankovic on RBN?

[evets90]

Has anyone contacted Weird Al about RBN? I tried looking around on his website but the only possible contact method on his site (his "Ask Al" page, which was buried in the site and hasn't been updated in a while) has a question form but it doesn't seem to work anymore.

Does anyone have a contact with Al and if so has there been any word?

i can try and contact him via twitter, he does answer some from time to time, i'll see what i can do on my end.

I'm not very familiar with the fellow, but wouldn't his parodies be considered covers? Isn't that not allowed? Does he have original songs?

[CCDaDon]

Of course he has original songs. Also a lot of his parodies are style parodies and use original composition to sound like the band he's parodying.

Also they wouldn't be technically be covers since they are parodies and legal mumbo jumbo here.

OK, cool. Not a big fan here, but hell, the more the merrier!

Albuquerque would be so amazing on vocals.

And guitar.

Albuquerque is over the ten minute time limit, although the most hilarious loophole to get around that would be to simply speed the song up until it is short enough.

But yeah, Al has made it known that he's a fan of Rock Band and was waiting for them to contact him, maybe once RBN is brought to his attention he or his label will take initiative. Many of his original songs would be such fun party songs.

I'm also hoping that eventually a song will come out with a crowd sing-along track that includes subtle crowd laughter. If anybody here ends up charting this stuff, consider it.

Why is there a time limit? Well fop1 like 5 hour songs I could understand but nothing over ten minutes? That's bull****.

I wanna see the accordion charted to guitar.
