Title: Weird Al Sings About Craigslist
Post by: pokeplayer984 on September 06, 2009, 09:43:22 AM
I was checking out some of the songs Weird Al does when I saw a brand new one that peeked my interest.

So, here's Weird Al singing about Craigslist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZqciuoiikw&NR=1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZqciuoiikw&NR=1)

I wonder if it'll become as famous as his eBay song. :D

Hmm. It never really made me laugh. I love most of Weird Al's stuff, though. Maybe the Doors are just a hard band to emulate.

ebay is a hundred times better because he actually sings about what you do on ebay.  craigslist seemed to be less of the buy/sell and more on the internet dating scene. :blink:

Now that other song that he released recently, "Skipper Dan" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNo8LvdOwSk), reminds me why I used to like Al so much. Though it scares me also, because I could easily become Skipper Dan in twenty years. Hopefully that doesn't happen.

You got that right!  The eBay Song isn't going away anytime soon.  The most popular version of it on
YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYokLWfqbaU) currently has over 24 million views.  And that's in just 3 years?

Most don't get even close to that in that amount of time.  Regardless of how much they advertise their video.

Even with the fact it doesn't have it's own TRUE Music Video of it, The eBay Song is here to stay. :)
