Just forget the words and sing along

Joy!

Tonight, for the first time in a few months, I swung by the official "Weird Al" Yankovic website. As I was scrolling through the latest news, I caught this little tidbit that got me all excited:

Al and the band are in the studio right now recording their next album

Yes! The new Weird Al-bum is in the works!! WOO HOO!!!

And the rest of the latest Weird Al news:

- the entire Weird Al catalogue is now available for purchase on iTunes.

- Weird Al can be heard on the next children's album from Sandra Boynton. Al's song is a duet with Kate Winslet (!!) called "I Need a Nap." The album is called "Dog Train" and will be out in October.

- As you may know, Ben Folds (formerly of Ben Folds Five, and now on his own) played piano for Weird Al on Al's song "Why Does This Always Happen To Me?" Well, Al returned the favour by singing back-up on the Ben Folds song "Time." The song can be found on Ben Fold's latest album "Songs for Silverman," which is in stores now!
