Brilliantly Weird Al

I thought I had seen Weird Al's "Bob" (a parody of Homesick Subterranean Blues) some years back, but when Charles mentioned it in his comment on the Bobcat Dylan post, I went and rewatched it.

If I had seen it before, I had totally forgotten how wonderful and brilliant it was. I love Weird Al. (It amazes me that this guy who started out figuring he'd be more or less a one-hit wonder has had more staying power than many of the acts he parodied - then again, it gives me a bit of hope, because a lot of his humor is pretty intelligent humor, and it's nice to know people appreciate intelligent humor, still)

Anyway, here's "Bob," for your viewing pleasure. (Surprising how well it works.)
