Extension to "Permanent Record"

[Chris Wolvie]

Now that Weird Al has 12 albums out, I think it might be time to re-do
his box set "Permanent Record: Al in the Box".

For those who don't have it, the first box set was released in 1994 and
contained 4 CDs, each with music from two of Al's albums plus a bonus
track or two. The set went all the way through "Alapalooza" and, for
the most part, presented six songs from each album. Now that four more
albums were released since - Bad Hair Day, Running With Scissors, Poodle
Hat and Straight Outta Lynwood - maybe Al can stuff two more CDs worth
of big songs and add them to a re-released box set.

The question is: what songs from those four albums would YOU want on the
2 CDs?

The rules of this poll are simple: pick six songs from each of the four
albums - three parodies and three originals (and the polka medleys count
towards the "originals") and list them here. If you want to add a few
other songs as "honorable mentions" or "bonus tracks", go ahead...but
keep them seperate from your main list. After a while, I'll tabulate
the lists on both alt.fan.weird-al & alt.music.weird-al and come up with
Permanent Record: CDs 5 & 6.
