BTW I believe that this is one of his original songs and not a direct parody. Al does a lot of those.
Actually, a lot of the songs that people think are not direct parodies, are what Al calls, "style parodies." A recent example would be "Craig's List" which is an obvious style parody of The Doors. Usually he doesn't credit the style parodies. Sometimes it's easier to tell than others.

Minimal research seems to indicate that this is a style parody of a band I had never heard of before called Fountains of Wayne.

From what I've heard, he spends a decent amount of time at DL. I know I just missed him a few times at FNSV, something fellow helmsmen got a kick out of time and time again.

I met him when he rode the Matterhorn once. He was very nice.

darph's reply is a direct effect of too many trips to Alfie's &/or too many Buds.

I haven't been to Alfies in a month. :( Good looks will get you only so far. They tend to want 'dead presidents'. :mad:
