The Man's 'Feel it Still' • Class on Weird Al's music to be offered at Vermont university • Listen: Weird Al's parody of Michael Jackson's 'Black or White' that the Gloved One wouldn't let him release [END] --- [1] Url: https://boingboing.net/2024/08/27/weird-als-phantom-menace-parody-is-now-in-hd-video.html Published and (C) by BoingBoing Content appears here under this condition or license: Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 3.0. via Magical.Fish Gopher News Feeds: gopher://magical.fish/1/feeds/news/boingboing/
