Heh. I love how Alice is reading the lyrics from a sheet.

Thank you subby.

That. Right there.

That's who should perform at Super Bowl 2012.

DblDad: Heh. I love how Alice is reading the lyrics from a sheet.

Heh, and I loved how he tried to pass them to Weird Al who's like "nah, I got this."

And way to step all over the keyboard solo, guitar man. Typical.

You know, if he hadn't found his career doing parodies, Al Yankovic would've been a great lead singer for a rock band.

Hm. Seems to me that those are three even-less relevant artists butchering a Beatles song.

Nice work, subby.

Brettster808: That's who should perform at Super Bowl 2012.

Aerosmith has already done one, sorta.
Alice Cooper would be interesting. He's certainly got the theatrical abilities.

And Weird Al would be interesting, I'll admit that.

Hey, SS... Being a Northeasterner, you might appreciate the video I recently posted of Steven Tyler jamming with Andy Hilfiger, Joe Bouchard, and Jimmy Cacala (ex King Flux, X-Brothers, Fright).

I'm not saying that Weird Al, Alice Cooper, and an American Idol JUDGE are less relevant than Cee-Lo, Bieber, and... oh wait. I guess I am.

I mean. The jam is cool...and all of those guys are pros, but, their version of a Beatles song is no better or worse than anything covered on NBCNYE.

Weird Al, IMHO, is way underrated.

I enjoyed that.

waxingpolemic: Weird Al, IMHO, is way underrated.

That's kind of inevitable when all he does is parodies.

For example, here is Weird Al at his best: shredding on stage.

Disagree. Cee-Lo - besides sounding awful - changed the lrics in "Imagine" from "...and no religion too..." to "...and all religion's true..." which is not only an absurd notion produced by a pandering 2nd rate crooner lacking a capacity to reason, it also completely negates the entire premise of the song. A song thats beloved and famous *because* of that very premise. Also he looked like he was wearing an old rug in that ridiculous fur coat.

/if you only know Steven Tyler from AI, I will ask you to remove yourself from my lawn

Who was flaky attention-whore chick? She did her level best to make it about her. All she needed was a tambourine to complete the ensemble.

GAT_00: For example, here is Weird Al at his best: shredding on stage.

that takes amazing talent.

That. was. AWESOME!

Charlie Freak: DblDad: Heh. I love how Alice is reading the lyrics from a sheet.

Heh, and I loved how he tried to pass them to Weird Al who's like "nah, I got this."

Yeah that was funny.

BTW MY husband thinks Weird Al is still too cool to do a Super Bowl. It would be awesome though. We should start a write in campaign somehow.

Except when Al changes a song's lyrics, it's part of an intentional parody.

Also, Weird Al doing Madonna songs @ the Superbowl > Madonna doing Madonna songs @ the Superbowl.

I thought that myself, about 50 seconds in. I'm saying that as a chick in her her 40's that has seen a shiat-ton of rock bands live (former big haired metal girl...). Quite respectable rock fun for an old time Aerosmith fan and Al held his own! Right on.

/Steven Tyler's bio was a tough read.....pages..PAGES....of his psychadelic rambling memoir....

shivashakti: Aerosmith sang "Come Together" (which actually wasn't too bad).

THAT'S where it comes from... I can still hear Steven Tyler each time I hear the original. The local rock station used to play it late at night some times before Clearchannel developed as we know it now.

Thanks, shiva, I thought it was just something I imagined. Unless this is just a Bee Gees joke you're starting to start the whole world laughing.

Doctor Jan Itor: Weird Al should play the Superbowl. Epic.

This.

For the love of god.... Madonna? Was Chubby Checker not available?

shivashakti: In the seventies, the Bee Gees made a movie of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band".

Both Aerosmith and Alice Cooper were in it.

Aerosmith sang "Come Together" (which actually wasn't too bad).

I actually heard Aerosmith's version before I heard the original. On top of that, I heard the line "He rollercoaster" as "He wrote a postcard".

/gimme a break, i was 10

toyotaboy: now give me $750,000 please

Now come on! Her attention whoring is pure and sincere. She already has the money.

That is honestly a group of people I never expected to see onstage together.
