fark YES
 
2012-02-10 12:45:45 PM
Saw them tweet this last night - it's actually an organic push but they liked it and sent it on. I'm all for abusing online petitions and we haven't done one in like 36 hours so I figure it's worth a shot

Thanks folks!

Incidentally they're performing at the Fark Vegas con again this year too

Yes.
Let's make this happen.
 
2012-02-10 12:48:17 PM
Would be the best half time show ever.
 
2012-02-10 12:48:44 PM
Oh, man...that's a halftime show I would watch for sure!
 
2012-02-10 12:49:02 PM
Hell yeah!
 
2012-02-10 12:49:21 PM
I like Weird Al's body of original work too much to see him throw his dignity away by performing for the Superbowl. I'm sorry, I can't support this.
 
2012-02-10 12:49:50 PM
All done.

/My #1 pick would be AC/DC, but this would also be awesome.
 
2012-02-10 12:49:57 PM
I would watch the ever-loving hell out of that. Weird Al is the greatest musical performer out there. His live shows are downright incredible.
 
2012-02-10 12:50:37 PM
Yes x10000.

This NEEDS to happen. To bad the kids these days don't know who Weird Al is.
 
2012-02-10 12:50:43 PM
Bring back the glasses and Hawaiian shirts!
 
2012-02-10 12:50:49 PM
Saw him in concert more than fifteen years ago. He puts on a great show.
 
2012-02-10 12:52:04 PM
I'm picturing 100 dancers dressed in amish garb for Amish Paradise followed by 100 obese dancers in skimpy outfits for Eat it!

Hell yes!

All of the Packer fans at the game will love this!

A Weird Al halftime show that would almost inevitably end up being a parody of the other overblown halftime shows we've had over the years?

Oh god, yes.
 
2012-02-10 12:52:32 PM
It would be better then that shiat they usually have.

//should have needed 2,700,000 signatures
 
2012-02-10 12:53:13 PM
how about no?

Need to continue to offer culturally relevant acts that the kids can relate to like The Knack or ZZ Top.Could go with Kid-n-Play for the urban market
 
2012-02-10 12:53:54 PM
That would be awesome.

I'm in.

I hope he accidentally flashes a nipple and gets fined for ... being a human and, you know, having nipples. That's just something we can't allow to be broadcast across the airwaves.

/because children should be ashamed of their own bodies
//link is farked, almost... damn that took so long to load
 
2012-02-10 12:59:23 PM
Hell yes. You know why? Becvause it would be fun to watch - something that's been sadly lacking the last many years. And why does it always have to be music? How about some goddam acrobats or a magician or some shiat like that. Fact is giant football stadiums suck for live music, always have, always will. Mix it up you idiots.

Who pissed in your Wheaties?

FInally a reason to tune in to the Super Bowl, 'cos I don't care how many baskets the Mighty Ducks make. Or whatever.

Signed and I'll see if I can get the local sports radio to mention it.

ZZ Top would be farking awesome.

Wardrobe malfunction parody? Can't wait.

I spoke too soon, link is farked; saw the loading wheel disappear... because FF gave up after 90 seconds.

ZZ Top would be farking awesome.


They've changed their name to ZZ Beyblade.

/Once saw ZZ Dreidel perform at a bar mitzvah

Been to two Weird Al concerts. Both awesome even though I had to go to Ohio for one of them. This is an excellent idea.

While we're on the topic of Al getting some much-deserved love, why the heck doesn't he have a star on the Walk of Fame?
 
2012-02-10 01:09:31 PM
Madonna was unwatchable. I'm so sick of talentless grannies on the field.
Cee lo upstaged her before a word came out of his mouth.

Luckily, I was watching it at my friends pad.
And they were having a swinger/s&m meet at the time.
ropes and spankins and wonderful acts all through the rooms.
There was even a violet wand dildo!
Those drowned out the gap-toothed hag.

And my guacamole was damned good
(caramelize the onions ifor it)
 
2012-02-10 01:11:00 PM
Make this happen!

You might want to have that sarcasm meter looked at.

I've been saying this for years. Even a high school or college marching band / cheerleading squad that won some competition sponsored by the NFL would be better. Hell, do the first 5 picks of the draft. Do anything.

That said, Madonna was a big draw for the 30/40-something women I know.

Can we at least get him in to do the Puppy Bowl if this doesn't pan out?

(slow, romantic intro)

♫ When I told you that I loved you, when I promised I'd be true ♫
♫ When I swore that i would never...be with anyone but youuu ♫
♫ When I told you that I loved you, those simple words I spoke... ♫
♫ I WAS ONLY KIDDING, now can't you take a joke? ♫
---
♫ oh oh, oh oh oh / oh, Oreo ♫
♫ what's in the middle? THE WHITE STUFF ♫

♫ first time that i tried them, got a big sugar buzz ♫
♫ nothing gets me high as that sandwich cookie does ♫
♫ you can see 'em in my teeth, tell it when i talk ♫
♫ had so many my pancreas just went into shock -- i love the white stuff, baby ♫
♫ in the middle of an Oreo ♫
♫ I love the white stuff, baby ♫
♫ It's the most delicious thing I know ♫

♫ met the prettiest young stewardess on my nonstop flight ♫
♫ she showed me to my seat and it was love at first sight ♫
♫ now lately i've been flyin' to all kinds o' places that I never really wanted to go ♫
♫ but I'll do anything just to spend a little time with the cutest flight attendant I know, oh oh oh ♫

♫ You set my ever-lovin' heart on fire, Airline Amy ♫
♫ tell me i'm your favorite frequent flier, Airline Amy ♫
♫ found a little piece of heaven, on a seven forty seven ♫

The best thing about this idea: W. Al would care enough about it to make an entirely original show up just for the occasion, and it would be awesome. He could lampoon the hell out of the NFL and everybody would love it all the more. Heck, he could simply parody half-time acts of years gone by and it would be awesome. (Imagine his take on a "wardrobe malfunction"!)

And not a single member of his entourage would give anybody the finger.
 
2012-02-10 01:14:55 PM
I can't wait to see this on my buddy Frank's 2000 inch TV!
 
2012-02-10 01:15:11 PM
Heck yes ! Only up to 846 so far get busy Farkers !
