Stinkin hilarious. The original has a catchy tune but the lyrics... :ack2: . Thank you Weird Al. I can actually listen to it without wanting to punch someone in the face now.

happi duck Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I think it's quite clever but I won't share it with my dd. She already struggles with feeling judged, especially online. I'll admit sometimes I don't post here if I'm wondering if my grammar is correct. Grammar? Jeez, I hope I spelled that correctly!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the song really had anything too harsh in it, if he had trashed on poor comma usage I might have cried a little. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandmother did that! She'd also underline seemingly random words and add extraneous punctuation. "Merry" Christmas and Happy "New," Year!!!!!

There used to be (might still be) a hilarious blog called "The Bog of Unnecessary Quotation Marks." Photos of signs and what-not using quotes wrong. So funny!

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 You really need to hear or read this interview that goes with it. http://www.dinnerpartydownload.org/weird-al-yankovic/?fb_action_ids=10152297688462903&fb_action_types=og.likes It has "Word Crimes" and "Eat It" embedded as YouTubes as well.

Susan in TN Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I don't know the original song, but that was great! Loved "Tacky" as well! I remember listening to his music at a neighbors house, way back in the 80's. He's still got it! (Grammarians, can we have a ruling on that phrase?)
