"Weird Al" Yankovic Channels the Doors on Craigslist
- by Joe Bosso
YOU'RE NOT A REAL SOMEBODY UNTIL "WEIRD AL" YANKOVIC PARODIES YOU. AND IF THAT'S INDEED THE CASE, THEN THE DOORS ARE DEFINITELY SOMEBODIES - THE MUSICAL SATARIST APES JIM MORRISON AND USES A MELANGE OF DOORS-INSPIRED MELODIES IN HIS LATEST TRACK CRAIGSLIST.
The musical homage—an amalgam of "When The Music's Over" with snatches of other Doors-esque passages—is dead-on, and with very good reason: keyboardist Ray Manzarek plays on the track.
Lyrically, Craigslist sends up the popular classified site with laser-beam focus.
