When it comes to being stupid, don't dare me.

I saw Weird Al in concert. Here's the set list:

Polkarama!
Canadian Idiot
Close But No Cigar
Bob
Break: Al TV - Jessica Simpson
It's All About the Pentiums
Break: Video snippets
You're Pitiful
  • Weird Al kept taking his clothes off during this song, at one point showing off a t-shirt that read "ATLANTIC RECORDS SUCKS". His final stripped down outfit was a Spongebob Squarepants shirt, polka-dot boxers, and a tutu.
Break: Video snippets
Wanna B Ur Lovr
  • During the second verse, Weird Al started wandering into the audience, directly handing out the bad pick-up lines. From my awful seat, I couldn't see crowd reactions, unfortunately.
Break: Al TV - Eminem

At this point, Al and the gang did abbreviated versions of each of the following songs:
[begin abbreviated list]
Couch Potato
Do I Creep You Out
I'm in Love With the Skipper
Headline News
  • The verse for this song referenced Paris Hilton's escapades, as opposed to the prevalent news stories of the mid-90s.
Confessions Part III
A Complicated Song
  • The verse for this song was the incest incident.
eBay
Bedrock Anthem
Ode to a Superhero
Pretty Fly for a Rabbi
Trapped in the Drive-Thru
Gump
Eat It
[end abbreviated list]

Break: Video Snippets
I'll Sue Ya
Break: Video Snippets
The Saga Begins
  • Before this song started, the Imperial March sounded and Darth Vader and 11 stormtroopers entered from stage left and lined up.
  • Costume changes occurred all night, but it was neat to see the piano player dressed up like the Emperor.
  • At the end of the song, Vader took out a plastic light-up lightsaber and waved it like a lighter at a concert.
Yoda
  • Near the end of the song, the band broke down into a gibberish song which was confusing and awesome. I can't describe it. They finished it, and then finished Yoda.
Break: Weasel Stomping Day music video
Smells Like Teen Spirit
Break: Video snippets
Amish Paradise
Break: Al TV - Kevin Federline
White & Nerdy
  • Al came rolling out on a Segway. Yes.
Break: Video snippets
Fat

Exeunt

Encore:
We All Have Cell Phones
Albuquerque
  • Al really milked the Donut store part of the song, asking about Strawberry, Gooseberry, Boysenberry, and quite a few other manner of donut.
  • Al was going to "skip" his anecdote about biting a man in the jugular, but the crowd "talked him into it."

Exeunt

Other notes:
The video snippets main purpose was to allow time for costume changes for the band. They were comprised mostly of Al TV segments and references to Al in TV shows and movies.
I've never liked the idea of wearing a performer's shirt to his/her show. I bought a Weird Al shirt, but I won't be wearing it to any of his concerts. The Jonathan Coulton with Paul and Storm show, on the other hand...
I saw the fiancée of one of my fraternity brothers. I was shocked, to say the least.
Next time, I'll buy my tickets a lot sooner, and get much better seats.
