== Al's worst selling album ==[edit]

The articles about Toothless People and Ruthless People say that 'Polka Party!' is Weird Al's worst selling album. Since I don't know any reliable sources for this and I am also too tired to look for them right now (and because my English is pretty bad as well) I do not want to write this into the article. This [1] is the only thing that I found. de:Benutzer:Lockenlord -- 84.133.183.181 (talk) 07:12, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

==album discontinued==[edit]

I removed the line regarding the album being discontinued as of August 2009. I don't see any evidence of this one any websites. in fact, Al's site shows that all of his albums are available for sale. there is a similar comment posted on pages for some of Al's other albums.

Short Circuit? Not Ed McMahon?[edit]

The intro section states that Here's Johnny is inspired by the movie Short Circuit, but the later description (as well as the lyrics to the song) does not support this.

no one seems to mention that "one of those days" is a style parody of george thorogood, sounds a lot like him to me — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.174.243.12 (talk) 11:36, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll be glad to take this one--listened to this album far too many times as a kid. Comments to follow in the next 1-3 days. Thanks as always for your contributions! -- Khazar2 (talk) 22:51, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

James Cox is a DAB page; none of these seem to be the right guy. -- Khazar2 (talk) 22:53, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I just removed the link, since, as you pointed out, it doesn't look like he has an article.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:39, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"purchased full ads" -- do you mean "full-page ads"?
Yeah, that's what I meant. Whoops!
Sonny Burke's article states that he died 1980; this album came out 1986. Different Sonny Burke?
I think it must be. Otherwise there was some time travel involved here.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 02:10, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
