I Like ItI Don’t Like It

Weird Al Yankovic is back with a single called "Craigslist" off an album due out next year. He mocks the Website, and those that can be found hocking wares on it. The single is an obvious homage to the Doors (Ray Manzarek was enlisted to play keyboard) but unlike most of Weird Al's previous work, it is not set to a specific song's preexisting tune, but rather an amalgam of several of them.

Like Jon Stewart, don't think that Wierd Al is not a genius just because he's a comedian.

The video makes no sense in that it has NOTHING to do with Craigslist. Pretty cool music parody though.

Uhhhhhhhhh, yeah it does. Have you ever been on there? Missed Connections? Rants and Raves? Free? He's right on target.

Weird Al does an astonishing job. The music and the video are extremely well done as well as very funny.

"...it is not set to a specific song's preexisting tune."

Who writes this stuff?

Never heard of "Soul Kitchen"?

I know, can you believe it's been 10 years since "Amish Paradise"?

I agree - he rules... I like "Like a Surgeon" and "Amish Paradise" better than the songs they are imitating
