RE: Three Tune Tuesday: The most 80s 80s Songs

I got a chance to see Weird Al a couple years ago as part of his "The Unfortunate Return of the Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour". The unique thing about this tour was that he only played his original songs. It was at least an hour and a half set and he played every original I can thing of including one of my personal favorites, Christmas at Ground Zero. As far as his parodies go, I think pretty much all of them are better than the originals...Amish Paradise, White and Nerdy, Tacky, Word Crimes, I lost on Jeopardy, Eat It...the list goes on.

"You don't love me anymore" and "one more minute" were two of my favorite originals by him. I think I still know more of the lyrics to the latter and now I have a karaoke song to do!
