@nemellotus supposedly a parody of 30 thousand pounds of bananas by Harry Chapin, I hear a few of the note but can not confirm it. you might like that song any ways
@Kikadaaf LOL, I heard a few of those notes myself.. I came to this site because I heard it was a parody of 30 thousand pounds of bananas by harry Chapin but I can’t clarify that after listening to it… way to different compared to most of his parody’s I heard back in the 80’s
I can’t believe that I can sing along to this song still. It must be close to 20 years since I’ve heard this song. It was one of my favorites when I was a kid though.
Does anyone else find it completely hilarious that his family took a road trip that ate up half his vacation to spend about 20 minutes looking at THE BIGGEST BALL OF TWINE IN MINNESOTA before being thrown out by security? I can’t believe I never heard this song before…
And he has seen alba alba albaqurqe??? OMG!!!!! I think i spelled it right!!! (if you guess the number of molacuels in Lenerd nimois butt I will send you tickets to albaqurqe) DISCLAMAR im not the best speller so your tickets might not reach you…
I was 12 years old when I saw this live. I just can’t believe this is the most popular live version. Weird Al had a huge impact on my life. He made me realize how important a twisted and thoughtful sense of humor really is. The closest we can ever get to God is when we are laughing our asses off. I don’t think I can ever be truly serious after listening to every song he’s ever made. (except for this serious comment)
diet chocolate soda? how does he do it? I’ve wanted to see the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota ever since i heard AL sing about it! he’s convinced me it’s worth the trip! and who wouldn’t be convinced by his twine ball musical effigy! and that food is important in his music relates to my GI Joe/ food oriented mind. (lasagna, eat it, trapped in the drive thru, etc)
I love this song!!
I listen to it every time I go on a journey!
This should be the twine balls anthem
I love this so much! I love that hat! Want!! Al looks so damn cute! I have a postcard from the Twine Ball, thank to my friend Kaffy!
@bravo723 It’s not a definite parody of 30TPOB, more like a style parody.

@Nesquito : There is no security at the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota. Just sayin’.

This song is a straight parody of 30,000 pounds of Mashed Bananas by Harry Chapin

UHF one of my fav albums!!
I think the song is the parody of the common “american dad”, who is simple, but content with his family, a little bit silly, but lovable.
0:51 is when i really start to listen
Good God!
