Originally Posted By threeundertwo The really pathetic thing is, my daughter came home from school singing this because her 5th grade advisory teacher showed it in class.

But the Farrah Fawcett poster is just wrong. Then there's this one: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKtlK7sn0JQ&mode=related&search=" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =YKtlK7sn0JQ&mode=related&search=</a> Good conceit to use images from only eBay. And the kevlar suit to illustrate the sniper is funny. A key chain, however, is NOT a tchotchke. This one: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKtlK7sn0JQ&mode=related&search=" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =YKtlK7sn0JQ&mode=related&search=</a> ...is technically and graphically superior. But they obviously don't know what a real "Pet Rock" is. "Video by Connors:" <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6XBvS0aar4&mode=related&search=" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =W6XBvS0aar4&mode=related&search=</a> The creator of a version this minimalist should at least know the difference between an "ALF" and an "Elf" alarm clock...! Then there's this one: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OX_t2Hg9PXs&mode=related&search=" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =OX_t2Hg9PXs&mode=related&search=</a> An "Alpha" alarm clock??? Illustrated by the letters of the alphabet? Then again, this is the creator's own verbatim description of his effort: "a kinda of video of the weird al song eBay but i have got half of the lirics wrong and when i saved the video somehow" "Asian Boys:" <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3x5K72UiXM&mode=related&search=" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =n3x5K72UiXM&mode=related&search=</a> Now I know how Simon Cowell feels. To their credit, it really is a couple of asian boys lip synching. Somehow I find the hand washing motif mildly disturbing. (BONUS: One minute of outtakes!) Lots more, but I'll leave you with this: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scK9w4uhXqY&mode=related&search=" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =scK9w4uhXqY&mode=related&search=</a> A badly shot bootleg video of Weird Al himself performing the song at Ebay Live! in 2003 in Orlando...
