Andy Breckman: “Don’t Get Killed” (1990)
Andy Breckman has been a staff writer for SNL and David Letterman, as well as a comedy film screenwriter and “script doctor”.
He’s also something of a folk singer–one who never felt the need to turn to page two of the chord book. But two chords is all he needs to make you bust a gut here.

If ever a music video deserved a ‘making of’ featurette, it’s “Bob“, Weird Al Yankovic’s parody of “Subterranean Homesick Blues“, which sends up Dylan’s incomprehensible lyric with nonsensical yet stupefying sentence-length palindromes.
Forget “Thriller“–would you rather see a behind-the-scenes about Michael Jackson putting on a lot of makeup and spending unprecedented amounts of money, or would you prefer to know who came up with palindromes like “Do nine men interpret? Nine men, I nod” and “oozy rat in a sanitary zoo” and how?

Props to Schmoyoho for making the misery of this campaign a little more bearable.
