So I'm watching Groundhog Day, and the Netflix subtitles like to mention the names and artists of the music playing. And this one song is a polka by Frankie Yankovic.

"Hey, I wonder if he's related to-"

The second line of his Wikipedia page:

[jozefallen]

I'm trying to figure out if this is meant to be sexual. It looks like he's jacking off and the foam flowing out of the stein is... You get the picture. Or maybe I'm just corrupted.

[milfweirdal]

Hi my name is Weird Al Matthew Dark'ness Dementia Raven Yankovic and I have long weird brown curly hair (that's how I got my name) and brown eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Kenny G (AN: if u don't know who he is get da hell out of here!). I'm not related to Frankie Yankovic but I wish I was because he's a major fucking hottie. I'm a vampire but my teeth are straight and white. I'm also an accordion player and I go to a magic school called Hogwarts where I'm in the seventh year (I'm sixty-two.) I'm a nerd (in case you couldn't tell) and I wear mostly Hawaiian shirts. I love Goodwill and buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a blue Hawaiian shirt and black slacks and Vans. I was walking outside Hogwarts. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of preps stared at me. I put my foot behind my neck at them.

Benvi has Another Playlist!

John Cougar Mellancamp don't flatter yourself, I am more inspired by Weird Al Yankovic's "Homer and Marge".

Little playlist about Devi and Ben. Two American kids living in the San Fernando Valley. The two kids are going to Ivies, I try to keep up my youthful looks.

Oh yeah! Mary Chapin Carpenter rules!

"Something Good" Julie Andrews and Bill Lee

Nothing comes from nothing Nothing ever could So somewhere in my youth or childhood I must have done something good

2. "Jump" Van Halen

Oh, can't you see me standing here? I got my back against the record machine I ain't the worst that you've seen Oh, can't you see what I mean?

3. "Crazy Love" Van Morrison

She's got a fine sense of humour when I'm feeling low down And when I come to her when the sun goes down Take away my trouble, take away my grief Take away my heartache in the night like a thief

4. "This Woman's Work" Kate Bush

Of all the things we should've said That we never said All the things we should've done Though we never did All the things that you needed from me All the things that you wanted for me All the things that I should've given But I didn't

5. "Looks Like We've Made It" Barry Manilow

Looks like we made it Left each other on the way to another love Looks like we made it Or I thought so 'til today Until you were there, everywhere And all I could taste was love the way we made it

6. "When Will I See You Again" The Three Degrees

When will I see you again? When will our hearts beat together? Are we in love or just friends? Is this my beginning or is this the end?

7. "I Wonder What She's Doing Tonight?" Barry and The Tamerlanes

Can't help it if I wonder what she's doin' tonight I thought that I could do without her Thought that I could get along just fine But I was wrong For ever since we said goodbye I just can't seem to get her off my mind

8. "He'll Have To Go" Jim Reeves

Whisper to me, tell me do you love me true Or is he holding you the way I do? Though love is blind, make up your mind, I've got to know Should I hang up, or will you tell him he'll have to go?

9. "Let It Be Me" The Everly Brothers

So never leave me lonely Tell me you love me only And that you'll always let it be me

10. "Woman, Woman" Gary Puckett and The Union Gap

I've seen the way men look at you When they think I don't see And it hurts to have them think that you're that kind

But it's knowing that you're looking back That's really killing me

11. "Mama's Broken Heart" Miranda Lambert

I wish I could be just a little less dramatic Like a Kennedy when Camelot went down in flames Leave it to me to be holding the matches When the fire trucks show up and there's nobody else to blame

12. "Poetry in Motion" Johnny Tillotson

There’s nothing I would change She doesn't need improvement She's much too nice to rearrange

13. "Imitation of Life" R.E.M.

This sugarcane, this lemonade This hurricane, I'm not afraid Come on, come on, no one can see me cry This lightning storm, this tidal wave This avalanche, I'm not afraid Come on, come on, no one can see me cry

14. "The More I See You" Chris Montez

Can you imagine? How much I love you? The more I see you As years go by I know the only one for me Can only be you

15. "Light of a Clear Blue Morning" Dolly Parton

It's been a long dark night And I've been a-waiting for the morning It's been a long hard fight But I see a brand new day dawning I've been looking for the sunshine You know I ain't seen it in so long But everything's gonna work out just fine And everything's gonna be all right That's been all wrong

16. "Running Away From Love" The Honeys

'Cause if it's me you really want

Then let your heart fall in line

Don't be afraid

Of the price that you'll pay

Are you so afraid?

For the things that you'll say

Are you so afraid?

And the things that you do!

Are you so afraid?

And of losing me too?

Are you so afraid?

Just stop running!

Running away from love

17. "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" Frankie Valli/The Walker Brothers/Cher

Lonely without you, baby Girl, I need you I can't go on

18. "Something" The Beatles

Something in the way she knows And all I have to do is think of her Something in the things she shows me

I don't want to leave her now You know I believe and how

Weird Al and Frankie Yankovic!!

[tellthemeerkatsitsfine]

Top quality Long-Running Panel Show Friday yesterday (February 3, 2023). Strong across the board.

I’d thought The News Quiz might have had an all-Scottish lineup to do a special on the independence issue, but it turns out it was a normal episode, just recorded in Glasgow so they brought in the locals. It was great. I’m fairly sure it’s the first time I’ve ever heard Andy Zaltzman and Frankie Boyle in the same place at the same time, and a fair bit of the humour in this episode for me came from being able to feel how not comfortable Andy Zaltzman was with that arrangement. They’re so different that I was surprised they were able to record together, it feels like combining their separate energies should create some sort of force field that would stop microphones from working. They’re not even oppositional or anything, the way some people have styles that contrast in interesting ways. They’re just… very different.

But it worked out. Frankie Boyle and Susie McCabe had each other to play off, and Andy Zaltzman is always able to just do his own thing regardless of what everyone else is talking about. The whole episode felt like a fair bit of talking past each other with very little chemistry (except, again, from Frankie Boyle and Susie McCabe), but I found the result entertaining. A lot of the individual jokes were funny, from all five participants, as they made their jokes one at a time since almost none of them fit together. Somehow, the dearth of chemistry managed to be so significant that that crossed the line into being funny in itself. I’d happily listen to a whole season of Andy Zaltzman and The Scots.

That was also a somewhat rare look at Frankie Boyle working with anyone where he’s not in charge of the lineup and format. He doesn’t appear on much besides New World Order these days, and when he does, he always seems a bit like a fish out of water. Have I mentioned how much I’m looking forward to Taskmaster season 15?

I started WITLY strong this year, going 4-1 in my guessing on the first episode. Went 2-3 yesterday, my first losing record in a long time. Joe Wilkinson messed me up, I never know what’s real with him. I got the Jo Brand one, though. I’ve read her books and I know that driving people around is her thing.

However, it was a good episode. I thought they were absolutely right to condense a few other parts of the show to leave an extra long version of David’s mystery guest explanation in the edit. That ended up being the best part of the episode, as the David/Lee dynamic continues to be good enough to carry the whole show even into its sixteenth season. They both had a lot of good lines in that one, this show struck gold with those two in 2007 and has just let them keep going, and it’s great.

On QI, Guz Khan, Sally Phillips, and Jo Brand is a hell of a lineup. Three people who don’t go hugely well with each other, but are all funny enough to carry an episode on their own, and they all played really well of Sandi. Sandi Toksvig was having a great time, just going from one to the other to the other, and occasionally going to Alan Davies, getting great stuff back every time. It took some skill out of her, switching among the different comedy styles, and of course she did it seamlessly. It was all great but I think Guz might have stolen the show in my mind, for his running theme of complaining about there being too many facts on QI.

The Last Leg was a weird one last night, but I enjoyed it. I still don’t understand what they were doing with Weird Al Yankovic. Honestly, if anyone else gets what the point of that extended sketch was, please tell me. I feel like I must be missing some sort of reference there; I do know a lot of Weird Al’s songs, but I’m sure he’s done many things I don’t know about, so maybe they were referencing something where he played the same scene repeatedly but changed wigs? Or were they just referencing the way Weird Al will sometimes play multiple characters in one video?

Whatever they were doing, it was a good time. A second episode in a row that felt a bit looser than usual, Adam being a bit more lax about letting them get off script, and it works well. Alex Brooker and Josh Widdicombe sound like they’re just having a great time together, and that’s really what makes this show.

Still no Catsdown. Just the new Jon Richardson/Lucy Beaumont show that honestly might not even be that bad, especially compared to some other panel shows I’ve seen, but it mildly depresses me that it exists and I’m definitely not going to watch it. I hope they’re having a good time, I guess.

EVERY LAST VOICE Tales that lost their way to you; songs that say the story. Rita MacNeil, Henry Mancini. Stacked up top to bottom; magnetic pull of audio cassettes. Phil Coulter, Guy Lombardo. Notes that play from fever dreams; melodies a malady in an out-of-tune mind. Lawrence Welk, Vera Lynn. Physical faith in transient pleasures; rolling down the road with something to fill the distance. Myron Floren, Frankie Yankovic. All the eclectic tastes of added-up instinct, whatever you loved and lost, however you held and surrendered the hope. Straining with the weight, I know I'll never see you again this side of living. Please don't go without our golden memories on your mind. Don Messer, Glenn Miller, nostalgic losses to the past. Every last voice a dead one, ghosts on tape. But there's still a few left living if you look close. March 6, 2023 Annapolis County, Nova Scotia Year 16, Day 5594 of my daily journal.
