COMICAL AL Y.: Lex Friedman (quoting MTV.com) reports that "Weird Al" Yankovic's 12th album, "Poodle Hat," will be released on May 20, and will include a parody of the Eminem song "Lose Yourself." Yankovic's album will apparently arrive in stores prior to another project with an Eminem connection: "Songs in the Key of Poop," the long-awaited debut CD from Triumph the Insult Comic Dog; the album, which as of now has no announced release date, will presumably include Triumph's own parody of "Lose Yourself," "Lick Yourself."
Lex, for what it's worth, used to dress up as Weird Al for college a cappella concerts, and on at least one occasion sang an actual Yankovic song. A fitting tribute to a truly unique American artist, as Yankovic's career has lasted for so long that he's managed to parody both Vanilla Ice and Slim Shady.
