Any of you seen/heard Weird Al's new single/video, "The Saga Begins"? If you haven't, you should check it out. It tells the whole Episode I story to the tune of "American Pie".

On an Indy-related note, the new Behind the Music featuring Weird Al spends some time talking about his movie he did a few years ago. He and his manager mentioned that it flopped and laugh about the studio's decision to promote it as a big summer blockbuster, (since it tested well with audiences). They mention that it was released to compete with Batman, Lethal Weapon 2, and Indiana Jones.

I thought that was funny because I had forgotten that's when it came out. Thinking back, I can remember watching that movie channel, (it's E! now, it may have been then too), and being bombarded with segments on Ghostbusters, Lethal Weapon, Star Trek, Batman, James Bond, Indy, and every now and then, UHF! (Kudos to the Raiders parody though.)
