[edit] Merge

I suggest "Weird Al" Yankovic#Selected discography be merged into "Weird Al" Yankovic discography. There is no need to repeat the same information in both articles. This leads to the situation where one article is updated and the other isn't. The discography article is more complete as it lists the compilations and special projects already so I suggest we use that as the main article and use the {{main}} template on the "Weird Al" Yankovic page to direct people there. The other reason we might want to split it out is that the "Weird Al" Yankovic article is 55 kb, which may be too large according to Wikipedia:Article size. --Elvis 20:48, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I went ahead and did the merge based on at least five days of silence per WP:MERGE. I think this is in the best interest for both articles. --Elvis 21:17, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Constipated?

Didn't Weird Al also do the song "Constipated", a parody of Avril Lavigne's "Complicated"?

No, the parody of "Complicated" is officially called "A Complicated Song" from the Poodle Hat album. However, that song does involve constipation as one of the things talked about. --Michael Greiner 04:09, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Ah. One of those songs that have a title other than what people think the title is, like calling "Unchained Melody" "I Hunger for your Touch" Kevin 22:19, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
