The second verse of “Weird Al” Yankovic’s song, Headline News, is about these two.
Once there was this girl who
Swore that one day she would be a figure skating champion
And when she finally made it
She saw some other girl who was better
And so she hired some guy to
Club her in the knee cap
Now you may find it inconceivable or rather very least a bit unlikely that
The relative position of the planets and the stars
Could have a special deep significance or meaning
That exclusively applies to only you
But, let me give you my assurance that
These forecasts and predictions are all based on
Solid, scientific, documented evidence
So you would have to be some kind of moron
Not to realize that every single one of them is absolutely true
Where was I?

You might incredible strength, and you can probably pwn somebody’s face.
But you are worthless without a priest, you are destined to raid for all your life.
And, oh yeah, three of the airplane engines burned out
And we went into a tailspin and crashed into a hillside
And the plane exploded in a giant fireball and everybody died
Except for me
You know why?
'Cause I had my tray table up
And my seat back in the full upright position
Had my tray table up
And my seat back in the full upright position
Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota is legitimately one of my favorite songs of all time.
His epic story songs are absolutely incredible. I’m a big fan of Albuquerque.
I have been to it. It’s fantastic.
