one of my favorite songs

[Phineas]

"Weird Al" Yankovic recorded this one for his fourth album, "Polka Party". I've always had a fondness for it because of the "dual message" for us foot/tickling lovers. For those of you who haven't heard it, I present the lyrics here.

I can only imagine what "those shoes" looked like that he was so adamant about them. 😀

Don't Wear Those Shoes
by 'Weird Al' Yankovic

I don't care
If you wreck my car or shave off all my hair
You can go
And run your vacuum during my favorite show
And I'll let you call up folks in Europe you don't even know
Anything you want, babe, if it makes you happy

But I'm begging you down on my bended knees
Oh honey, please don't wear those shoes
You can spend my money, you can waste my time
Baby, I don't mind, but please don't wear those shoes
Don't wear those shoes

It's all right
You can play your Twisted Sister every night
I suppose
You can lick the middles out of my Oreos
Or start laughing while you're drinking milk so it comes out your nose
And you know that I'd do anything to please you

But I'm begging you down on my bended knees
Oh honey, please don't wear those shoes
You can spit in my face if you're so inclined
Baby, I don't mind, but please don't wear those shoes

Oh no, don't wear those shoes
I said, oh no, oh no
Oh no, please don't wear those...

Use my razor to shave your legs or eat crackers in bed
Stomp the poodle till it's flat
You could even shove a six-inch railroad spike through my head
I could learn to live with that

But now I'm begging you down on my bended knees
Oh honey, please don't wear those shoes
You can whip me, beat me, rob me blind
Baby I don't mind, but please don't wear those...

I said, oh no, oh no, oh no, don't wear those shoes
I said, oh no, oh no, oh no, don't wear those shoes

You can scratch up my records, you can drink my booze
But baby, please don't wear those shoes
You can make me an offer I can't refuse
But darling, please don't wear those shoes
You can play your bongos while I'm trying to snooze
But honey, please don't wear those shoes
You can expose yourself on the six o'clock news
But please, please don't wear those shoes

Wierd Al rules! 😀 His songs and videos are hilarious. 😛 Thanks for these lyrics, Phineas. 🙂 I wonder if he's one of us? 😉

 

[Phineas]

I doubt that. Al's said a number of times that the views expressed in his songs are not necessarily his own. Apart from "One More Minute", which he wrote after being dumped by a former girlfriend, nearly all of his songs are just written based on a funny premise.

I mean, he's also made references to mass murder, insanity, bondage, overeating, and cross-dressing, so I doubt he's really burying any messages in his songs. Apart from the back-masking he does, anyway.
