The commercials showed active, happy people drinking coffee while E. It sounds close to the same. He sued Ray Parker Jr. Is there a story behind it? That confused me a lot too when I first saw it. Who or what was on that picture? That was Dr. Demento, making one of his famous cameo appearances. If memory serves, I believe the good Doctor was getting married the day we were shooting that scene!

I was just wondering, did you go to your senior prom? Did you really inhale smoke when you were shooting the video? Harvey was, in fact, feeling a little under the weather that day, so his pal Bob the guinea pig was nice enough to fill in for him at the last minute. So let us in on the secret.

Luckily, we only needed to do a couple takes. Do any of the other guys ever harmonize with you? If so, how many? Actually, on the albums I sing virtually all the harmonies myself. Why not Kim?

For instance, would you name your son Weird Walter or your daughter Weird Wendy? I mean, who in their right mind would name their kid Walter? By the way, they had asked me to perform a song on the show, but only if I could cut it down to under three minutes.

Do you have some other air intake, or way to keep fresh air in your room? I have to stay out of air conditioning and smoky rooms if I want to avoid losing my voice on the road. If my room ever gets stuffy, I can always open a window and let in some fresh air. Does the money come out of your own pocket, do you have a separate production company set up just for music videos, or is there some other way? The record company pays for all expenses up front, but half of it is reimbursable through my royalties, so in essence, I pay for half the cost of my videos.

There is a production company that deals with each video, and they are paid a separate fee which is part of the video budget. I even get to pay myself to direct, although half of my paycheck is in essence coming from my back pocket. What should I do? Well, obviously, you were adopted. The album release version was done in the studio and features the whole band. Why is this? I threw the basketball up into a net which was just out of frame, and a crew guy hanging from the rafters dropped another basketball straight down into the hoop.

Are you a fan of the show? The show is syndicated across about half the country and a lot of people heard you.

My record company was concerned about my being on the show because apparently he has a history of ripping people apart on the air — but Mancow was great to me. Get it? Thanx, love your show! It sounded so much like the real thing that I was actually wincing! I wanted to make the Ultimate Dentist Song, so I decided to do it as authentically as possible. I got my real dentist Dr. Schuster to come into the recording studio. He brought his actual dental drill with him as well as a real human tooth — and then he proceeded to wail away on it while the tape rolled.

I even took a turn with the drill and the tooth myself. It was pretty sick. Polka Man of who knows where asks: Hey, Al! Did you get to write a lot of it, or were there other people who wrote it? So when does Mary Kay Bergman sing in it? Originally I had Mary Kay come in to sing the whole song. I imagine she finally got tired of me making fun of her all these years. I LOVE you!! Hide in your house and watch all the fun on TV? California submitted a question. He was really nice, and said he was a fan.

I refrained from telling him that I write my own material, thank you! Is it computer generated or filmed on location at some desert? That scene was really shot in the desert. I still thought it was preferable to having a pan of the desert that was just way too slow. I know these are the same songs, but what is the difference between the 2? Just the title. We let MuchMusic put their name on the album as part of a promotional deal we had with them at the time.

Who acted out the guy that was reading the magazine and clipping his toenails? And there will most likely be a few other subtle little changes here and there, but for the most part, it will be the same show. Could it? Are you a big fan like myself, or did you come to know the band in some other way? We started talking about how I wanted to branch out into directing videos for other artists, and then Russell mentioned that Jon Spencer was looking for a director for their next video… and things just kind of progressed from there.

I had been familiar with some of their music, but after working with them and seeing them play live, I became a real fan. Are those my only two choices? I even met him once very briefly in — he came backstage after one of Dr. And the musical intro is there mainly to help me sing the beginning of the song in the right key and at the right tempo. At one point we were considering doing a video for that song, and we inquired if Jerry would be in it.

We sent him a rough mix of the song while we were still in the studio finishing up the album. Oh well. Do you just ask someone else? Skip the song? Just wondering. It was a matter of practicality and budget. They really made it sound like after that you were ready to dive headlong into a stump grinder. So exactly how big of an exaggeration is this? I know that box-office-wise it was limping, but I also know that show loves dirt….

Physical Education, no doubt. Or, is everything so well rehearsed that you can keep a straight face? I just try not to look at him anymore. They met while they were both working at a place called Firestone Tire and Rubber. Alfred introduced them, and luckily for me, they hit it off. However, the fairs provide the interpreters, not us. A lot of my originals are intentionally derivative of other groups although not enough to infringe on their copyright!

How in the world did you pull that off when you dressed up like that for your concert? PS: Rock on, Al! So, why do you wear glasses with the Fat costume at your concerts? The glasses help to hold up the Fat mask, so I need to keep wearing them for that song. The lenses were changed to clear plastic. Will you ever make a live album? Live album! Lisa Shock of Sunny Phoenix, Arizona asks: How did your family react to your decision to become a vegetarian?

She always makes a nice vegetarian meal for me when I come to visit. What was it like working with them? I liked the Monkees very much — it was a fun tour. There was even a separate tour bus for each Monkee! Your theme song is awesome. I noticed that the lyrics in the ending credits are a little modified to fit the end of the movie.

I also know that the song is on the Gump single, but is there a way for me to acquire the track with the ending credits somehow? I just thought Hawaiian silk boxers would be a nice change of pace. Plus, they feel better and take up less room in my pants. Did you throw a party for your birthday and if you did, who attended it??? And where was it? It was on stage in Ottawa, Ontario, and thousands of people showed up!

It appeared that at least the crew knew about it, but did you? Loved your concert. Then when they presented me with the birthday cake from stage left , I thought that was it… not knowing that my tour manager was sneaking in from stage right with the deadly cream pie.

What is it you are saying? Those are the reflection of Kino lights, which are used for lighting close-ups in quite a number of rap videos. Of course. I should have pointed it out on the show, I guess, but I was just assuming that most people know that Harvey IS a professionally-trained stunt hamster.

I always though it was Jay but my friend hears Jake. Fred Durst of L. We did that in a much different key from the original song, because Michael Jackson and I have very different vocal ranges. How much footage is shot new and how much is culled from old educational films [the real kind? Is this because it was inspired by a real-life person, or were you just in a good mood that day?

It started out as a joke, but people have just been eating it up! I know that you have to get permission when you want to write parodies of songs but, did you have to get permission from the artists Cher, Steven Tyler… for those crazy interviews??

MTV had to get permission from the artists. The song would be wicked funny if you did! It would have been funny — but the video would also have been twice as expensive, and I would have gotten half as much airplay. So I guess I opted for practicality. By the way, for the record, the original song had six verses, and mine had four. The voice sounds way too authentic! Originally in the Saturday morning show , it was Bob Scott, but he is now retired and living in Miami. The Artful Dodger of Ft.

Reina Samuels of Washington D. Okay, now I was just listening to your new CD last night, like I do every night, and I noticed something at the end of Albuquerque. Who is that laughing in the last few seconds and was it left on the CD on purpose or was it a mistake? Drew asked if I wanted to join in on the fun the last time I attended a taping of the show, and I declined. Michael Jackson, a Jedi Knight, and a few other things….

Since Running With Scissors seems to be doing so well there a top 20 album the last time I checked! What were they made out of? The folks at Volcano are apparently having some quality control problems with these re-issues, and I apologize. That accordion belonged to my Aunt Dot I guess she played a little , and they took the picture because they thought it would be an ominous foreshadowing of my future career.

Jay and I are big fans, and Jay especially has been waiting to see his hero since he was at least Michael Lavoie of Meriden, CT asks: Al, when are you finally going to settle down and hear the pitter, patter of little feet around the house?

They had a promotion where the winner got to have me come to their place of business and do a live show. As it turns out, the winner worked in a rest home. S and Canada? Ron has obviously carried on the family tradition. We performed it when we did a show in Albuquerque we pretty much had to , but then my voice was trashed for a week afterwards. They are so funny, sweet and genuine. My question is, are there any plans to have them in any forthcoming videos or interviews?

Which is a drag. What is that? Please tell us what it is and put our tortured minds to rest. When will the general public be given the opportunity to have the immense pleasure of viewing this inevitable cinematic masterpiece? How can I remedy this problem? I was sitting in the dress circle left and had my feet up. Demento Basement tapes collection. I have a long, horrible, first-cut of the movie — no music, no sound effects.

Two gags in your videos struck me as pure Keaton: 1. Thank you! Lisa of L. I usually get just a tiny bit nervous, but before the Greek I was extremely nervous because of all the people that I knew in the audience: my relatives, my friends from high school, the local media, newspaper reporters, and loads of celebrities including John Landis, Emo Philips, Doug Feiger, Corey Feldman, the guys from Hanson, Jake Lloyd, Dr.

Demento and my hero Stan Freberg. I was glad to get through that show without my brain exploding. Amy Smith of CA asks: I heard you had your vision corrected with laser surgery.

It was done by Dr. Have you ever considered taping your tour live and selling it as a album or as a video? Sean Sydney of Toronto asks: Do you study your song parodies? For example, for Jerry Springer, did you watch it for a couple of weeks or something? And after watching a couple shows, I pretty much figured out the basic formula. As a synagogue board member, I was amazed at how accurate those lyrics are. And, I used that song as a discussion topic at a recent synagogue board meeting!

A good percentage of my friends are Jewish, and most of those Yiddish words are fairly common usage — in the entertainment industry, anyway. Also, I bought several English-Yiddish dictionaries for reference.

Lynda of O. There are a couple of clips of you twirling around in what looks like a dress when you were a boy. Where does this fetish for dresses stem from? I would understand if you had sisters but you are an only child. Because I am a car freak as well, do you actually own one, and if no, what cars do you own? My current car is a Z3. It said it was in the movie UHF. Give me a break. Matthew Walker of Highland, CA asks: How come your parodies are often played faster than the original songs?

I generally like to make my parodies a couple beats per minute faster than the original song, just for a little energy boost. Also, I find that the comedy usually plays better if the tempo is a little quicker. Chadly of Elgin, IL asks: I know you must be getting tired of What-was-it-like-working-with-so-and-so questions, but I noticed that you were recently working on a song with Tavis and Dan from Reel Big Fish.

I mentioned that I was writing a ska song for my new album, and they gladly accepted my invitation to lay down some tracks in the studio.

I can certainly feel empathy for how George wanted to re-do his earlier works. Burger King, Spam, Oscar Meyer , do you have to get their permission or anything? Legally, this is another gray area. Because most of the scenes in which they actually showed your face looked like they COULD have been shot in some dark room. Is he right? Is he going senile? Did you really risk your life on that sway pole?

That was not trick photography, I really was hanging off a sway pole 55 feet in the air without a safety net. What was it like interacting with a giant alien mantis? I never actually spoke with Zorak. Like they do with all their guests, they conducted an actual interview, then later chopped it all up and used a lot of the answers out of context.

I guess I should know a little about that, huh? Queen Amidala of Washington D. Cholly ho! Is that something special you worked out with God, or is it a result of your new-found friendship with effects-master George Lucas? Just a nice coincidence.

The Monroe fair board actually tried to shut down our show early before the encores because they were concerned about the possibility of somebody getting hurt during the impending thunderstorm.

It was truly an unexpected encore, and very gratifying for myself and the band. Please respond ASAP. Your local paper is toying with your emotions. Actually, some Texas dates had been discussed at one point, but nothing was confirmed — apparently your paper jumped the gun a bit. What a good sport he is, huh? I talked to Don on the phone before the tour started, and he seemed to like the parody very much.

Make more vinyl. There were inscriptions on most if not all of my vinyl releases. So I figured that I might as well set the same goal for myself.

Big Jon L. Emily of Dayton, Ohio asks: What are the things you wear in your ears during concerts? What is their purpose? This tour, for the first time, all the band members except Steve have switched to wearing in-ear monitors. This helps us to hear ourselves much better on stage, allowing us to sing more in tune and play more in time. It also keeps the stage volume down and eliminates the need for those bulky monitor wedges. I talked to him backstage for a few minutes, and he seemed like a decent, down-to-earth kinda guy.

Actually, they play it frequently. The edit sounded horrible. Oh yeah, and dude, you rule!!! Marys, GA asks: I was just admiring the artwork on your debut album when I noticed something.

All of the songs on the album have a drawing associated with them on the cover. Am I the only one who has noticed this? No, I was using magnetic earrings the top part is metal, and the backing is a magnet.

I remember the video shoot ground to a halt because one of my earrings had flown off, and it took several minutes to find it. It was in my pants. Boy, you got me there. That is, in fact, my voice. However, I did have to sing it first thing in the morning when my voice is naturally much lower. Did she know what was going on? Bobman of Palmdale, CA asks: How do you pick your concert songs — are they the same for any given show?

In other words, if I saw you in Lancaster and then see you at the Greek Theatre, will the show be different? Our full shows for this tour are pretty much identical. However, the Lancaster show was only an hour long, and the Greek show will be the normal two hour show.

A lot of times, fairs insist that we do a shorter set so that the audience members will have more time to walk around and buy corn dogs. Were they from Lucasfilm? Every songwriter in the polka medley is paid based on the percentage of the medley where their song is heard.

Or is it not you? Garrett Stanfield of Mt. McCall and his lovely songs of trucking life on the road, perhaps? McCall was definitely one of the people I listened to for inspiration. The incredibly talented Tress MacNeille filled in quite nicely, though. I came up with both titles, and then decided that I liked Permanent Record better. In the meantime, Scotti Bros. Jason Bryans of Mason, Mi asks: Was Running With Scissors the first title that popped into your head for the new album or did you have other possible titles?

Darian Glover of Sidney, NY asks: Has touring ever conflicted with a directing offer or other project you wanted to do? Just Curious. It really was my beat-up white Toyota Corolla. I was trying to get rid of it, so I had it painted up like a giant Hawaiian shirt and gave it away on MTV. The woman that won it was less than thrilled three prizes were being offered, and she was hoping to win the David Bowie package — she was downright disgusted to find out that all she got was my stinking car.

Steve of Reno! Seems to be a logistical problem here. Do you have your own private aircraft? We use public airlines when we fly, but we much prefer to just ride the bus whenever possible. Shows are booked by the availability of the venues and the money being offered — and because of that the tour routing oftentimes gets downright stupid.

Hopefully I will meet you in Detroit this August, and I do not want to insult you — so could you please suggest a CD for me to carry with me that you would like to autograph? He was one of my best friends in college — he played juice harp on some of my early coffee house gigs, and actually was my first bass player. That was taken against a backdrop next to the track where we shot the front cover of Running With Scissors.

The actual background you see in the finished art was a photograph of a miniature which we had built; the pictures of me and my shadow were then dropped into it.

Is there any truth to that? Yes, they were interested in having me write for the show, but I declined out of respect for John Kricfalusi. Besides, John has a real problem with non-animators writing for animation. Nice folks. No no no… I was using a very special kind of Jedi tuning. Extremely difficult to master. Then the wig goes on.

And the whole process only takes 3 or 4 hours! Tracy Halladay of Brigham City, Utah asks: Are you easily recognized in public or are most people clueless when they actually see you in person?

And even when they do, a lot of them are still clueless! Yes I did — and a lot of the people that came to our outdoors shows on the Bad Hair Tour got to see that balloon live and in person! Am I crazy? Did you write them, and if not, do you know who did? Okay okay okay. Let me try to clear this up once and for all.

So check the discography at this web site if you have any doubts. Now, take the first letter in each of those words. Any thoughts? Of course, being corporate lawyers, that kind of logic and reason was beyond their comprehension.

Princess Buttercup of Savage MN asks: Do you cook for yourself, and if you do, what do you like to make? Like, if I have to take it out of the can AND heat it up… forget it! Did you ever consider him for a role in UHF? It was fun, and really bizarre. Yes, I was just getting over a terrible case of laryngitis. Whatever can I do? I think you should break up with him as soon as possible, so he can be free to find someone with decent musical taste. No secret messages, no Satanic back-masking.

Is that an Al and band creation or did some other group perform those interludes? He asked me to sing a few things as part of the score, so yes, that is my voice that you hear in that particular section.

Yes, that was supposed to be an interociter. Unfortunately, we have very little control over what happens in pressing plants overseas. I think. Yes, I have a nasty habit of giving flip, stupid answers to perfectly reasonable questions. Netty of New Zealand asks: When are you going to come to New Zealand on tour or a promotional visit or something?

I would like it if you did. Probably not in the near future. I even appeared on the New Zealand version of the Dating Game! Joshua Nicholson of Semmes, AL asks: Did you really hold the endlessly long note at the end of the Spy Hard theme, or was it just a looping job? I originally planned to loop it, but when I got to the studio, I found I was actually able to sing the entire note in one breath — which I did.

Frump in the Iron Lung real? How very astute of you! Yes, Philo was named after Philo T. Farnsworth, who is widely credited as having invented television. Just wondering if that is your real hair braided in the Bad Hair Day photo. Yes, that is my real braided hair — and just to prove it, check out the half-tone photo under the lyrics in the Bad Hair Day CD booklet. Jeff of Stratford, Ont. Canada asks: Hey Al: Could you give me an idea of how your albums sold — like a ranking from most sold to least sold?

Kevin Brockway Jr. If you are, you could polka versions of some of their songs. Oddly enough, a few years ago Jimmy Page called my office to get some copies of my videos, so I knew he was a fan. I brought along cue cards the next time I did the show.

Jordan D. Our Zanies club has a newspaper clipping of you on the wall, so I know you were here before. Oh yes, we all remember Zanies. A very nice little comedy club — but not one that could accommodate a full rock band. We were so cramped up on that stage we could hardly move — we had our amps out in the audience.

My stage manager was begging me to cancel the show, but we did it anyway — and had a nice long talk with our booking agent afterwards. June 29, Just wondering how many others share my love. Unfortunately, this was in about and before I knew of your great talent, so forgive me for not stopping by and saying hello. Anyway, here is my question: While I was visiting this wonderful city, I noticed several people had filled used milk containers with water and placed them on their lawn.

Sincerely, Eric Stringer. I was so happy, I jumped up and down, screaming. I think I scared the people sitting next to me. And what are the chances I could hear Velvet Elvis in the future? But wedont want to be mean Since now hes a queen Dont ask please Which Backstreet boy is gay? Tell me who? Aint saying that its AJ Tell me who? Aint saying that its Howie Tell me who?
