Musical Monday with Weird Al

I think Aaron Sorkin and Co. missed a major opportunity by not using this as the theme for their "Being the Ricardos" movie, nor using this clip as part of the End Credits. (The parody song is lots of fun, and while 'Weird Al' isn't the greatest Ricky Ricardo, Tess MacNeille is GREAT as Lucille Ball!)

Musical Monday: Leo Gives It Away

Everything's better with Leo Moracchioli, even songs I disliked Back in the Day, when they were performed by the original band.



Until Leo's cover (and the goofy video), the only version of "Give It Away" that I could stand was Weird Al's spoof version, "Bedrock Anthem". Check it out below... but be careful! It opens with a little bit of color.

For the broken hearted on this Friday night.

It's the ultimate "that loving feeling's gone" ballad. Cheer up... it could be worse!

Weird Al: Too Hot to Hoot!
