Probably the most influential music from my youth

First, Candice do you see why it's difficult for me? This is the only version I really know.


Second, this speaks for itself


Third, genius. Have a banana, have a whole bunch.


Fourth, this is the also first version of this song that I ever heard. I had the tape, memorized the lyrics, and then later found out that there was ANOTHER version of this song that's a lot slower and by a different band. Turns out that band was Queen, and I'd memorized the cover. You gotta say, this is completely brilliant. Completely. The tuba and the polka breakdown when it's supposed to be a guitar shred. Freaking brilliant.

it's true. whenever gansta's paradise comes on the tuner i can only sing along with weird al lyrics. no shame. (i will not deny that i think weird al is painfully clever....amish?)
have you seen UHF?
gotta love the state fair tour.
