One of my pet peeves is that sometimes the talents of my band get overlooked because, and it was the same problem that Frank Zappa had, with a lot of groups that use humor, people don't realize there's a lot of craft behind the comedy.

I don't watch a lot of other people's parodies because I don't want to be unduly influenced.

Like, I have had moments, which I think most people have, where you'll be watching TV, and it'll be interrupted by some tragic event, and you'll actually find yourself thinking, 'I don't want to hear about this train being derailed! What happened to 'The Flintstones'?'

As a wise man once said, “April Fools Day is for amateurs. You NEVER need an excuse to mess with people's heads.”

It's hard to force creativity and humor.

At this point I've got a bit of a track record. So people realize that when 'Weird Al' wants to go parody, it's not meant to make them look bad... it's meant to be a tribute.

You got me stranded on the bungee tower of love.
