PSA: Not Weird Al
Something that frequently annoys me is when any parody or otherwise funny song is by default attributed to Weird Al, wether he did the song or not. Just like a lot of comedy bits are attributed to George Carlin or some other comedian who is more well known than the person who actually did the bit. This used to be more of a problem when I did more downloading from illicit sources, but I don't have the time or inclination to do that much anymore. Plus, at this point I have most of I want anyway.
But anyway, labeled the thread as a Public Service Announcement because I wanted to share this link: http://free.house.cx/~eil/etc/notal_list.html Please do the world a favor and name your files appropriately. The true artists of these songs deserve their recognition.

I hate when people label comedy songs as Weird Al. Bob Rivers is NOT Weird Al!

Yeah, it's a huge pet peeve of mine. Why is it usually comedy files that get mislabled?
