Discover Music Project: Episode 34

Jonny and Amanda team up once more to celebrate the gloriously absurd music of Weird Al Yankovic. This show is a listener request, and Rob made the wonderful suggestion of focusing on Weird Al's original songs (i.e. not direct parodies). His selections are some of the funniest, most timeless pieces ever produced by Yankovic. As a happy coincidence, this music also turns out to be a lovely companion to Amanda's choice from a few episodes ago, Ween. Both artists explore a huge breadth of musical styles to present funny, intelligent material. Here's the set list:

1. Dare to Be Stupid (Dare to Be Stupid)

2. One More Minute (Dare to Be Stupid)

3. You Don't Love Me (Off the Deep End)

4. Trigger Happy (Off the Deep End)

5. Pancreas (Straight Outta Lynwood)

6. Everything You Know is Wrong (Bad Hair Day)

7. Since You've Been Gone (Bad Hair Day)

8. Your Horoscope for Today (Running With Scissors)

9. Truck Drivin' Song (Running With Scissors)

10. Hardware Store (Poodle Hat)

11. Bob (Poodle Hat)

12. Close But No Cigar (Straight Outta Lynwood)

13. CNR (Alpocalypse)
