What I forgot to mention was one of my favorite Weird Al videos. Fellow blogger Pete Scribner posted a link to the video on his blog...go watch it. It's funny, if you like ironic humor.
So Weird Al is necessary to fully enjoy the double-Palindrome day!
(I might add- Weird Al often bases his songs on oldies and recent pop hits...this one is no different. For those of you under the age of about 40, he's spoofing a 60s singer named Bob Dylan. Here's the video of the Dylan song that Weird Al took 'Bob' from. Here's the video of a Dylan song that sounds much like Yankovic's Bob.)
You may not appreciate Weird Al's work as much as I do, but you can't deny he's a creative genius. (Each of these link to a video on YouTube.)
