Weird Al was instrumental in helping me get through most of my high school years without a date. To this day I still get strange looks from my beautiful wife when I belt out songs from his current album Straight Outta Lynwood. Even though I have been a life long fan of Weird Al, I have never seen him in concert. Well, today I am happy to say that will change on August 6th when he rolls into Dallas. To build up to the concert I am adopting Weird Al Wednesday here on somemakemoney.com.

Each Wednesday I will post up a video that hopefully will make you laugh and get stuck in your head like it does in mine. For those of you who have never been introduced to Weird Al, be prepared, his name is accurate. Weird Al has made a nice living create parodies of current hits. To give you a taste, here is the famous song ‘American Pie’ turned on it’s head to tell the story of “Star Wars : Phantom Menace”.
