    ROBERT LUND:
    I wanna be Al Yankovic
    So freakin' bad
    With white and nerdy
    1 fans I never had
    Like Oprah I would start my own
    "Al" Magazine
    2
    With Bundy, Sharpton, Qaida, Gore, and Green3

    Oh, every time I hear a song
    My brain regurgitates it wrong, yeah
    So all the words I sing along
    Are abnor-mal!
    I'd be every fangirl's pal4
    If I could be Weird Al
