Idolator’s “Weird Al” Contest: Hot Dog! We Have A Weiner!
Last week, we challenged you to predict the future of “Weird Al” Yankovic’s musical legacy: What song, we asked, do you think he’ll tackle next? We received a great many submissions, and an even greater number of so-so fart jokes. But we’re happy to announce that Shauna Crawford of Seattle, Wa. will receive a free copy of Al’s Straight Outta Lynwood, thanks to her winning submission, “Dexy Back”:
…in the style of “Sexy Back” by the great JT-Lake, and in honor/honour of Dexys Midnight Runners circa “Come On Eileen.” Here’s a possible excerpt: Peep these dungarees man, I need a shave/On the street corner, I stand there and wave!
We love it! It’s “tee-hee” funny at first, and then “ha” funny as the day goes on. Just like a real “Weird Al” song!
Thanks to everyone who played. And remember: This contest had nothing to do with Al or his label. They wouldn’t touch us!
