If it's possible, we want Weird Al to release a single that's just an extended version of Albuquerque that basically combines every single version of Albuquerque into one ultimate version.
What a legend. This song came out when I was a kid and Weird Al was one of the only mainstream artists my parents would let me listen to, so of course I played the shit out of this song and committed the entire ramble to memory. Saw him during the Unfortunate Return tour a couple years ago, glad to see he's still pushing it and doing all the deep cuts (while I love the parodies, I love his originals even more). I was curious if he would change the "hermaphrodite" part, but he found a perfect way to make it even better, lol. Again, what a legend. Thanks for posting this!
@FinnMcCoolOfficial The appropriate term these days is "intersex" but what is and isn't an offensive term changes as the people who want to be jerks about it inevitably appropriate the politically correct jargon and turn that into the new slur. "Homosexual" used to be the polite way to say it and now it's a term mostly used by homophobes who don't want to use the F word. With these things you sometimes need to look more at the intent than the specific words used, the word "boy" used to be incredibly racist until it just became the word used to describe male children so
To be fair, 'hermaphrodite' is a technical term, as some species of plants and even a couple of animals are capable of having both what we call 'male' and 'female' reproductive organs. It's just that through history it's also been used over history, mostly in politics, to degrade people who the speaker doesn't like, or don't conform to the most common societal expectations of masculinity and femininity. It's in much the same way the word 'retard' became a slur synonymous with the mentally-disabled because it was, essentially being a fancier and more specific word for 'slow', seen as a more polite term instead of outright saying 'slow', with that original context eventually lost as the old word fell out of more common use and kids grew up only with the new word. Though you still occasionally see things like 'retardant' on clothes and certain firefighting equipment because that's primarily what it's for, slowing the inflammation of objects and clothing. Though generally 'hermaphrodite' still has uses in other places and circles and is used for its actual definition of being something with both types of reproductive parts rather than approximating it to being about trans people, so whether you consider it a slur or not is more a matter of opinion than stated fact. Generally you aren't going to find people using it as a slur unless they KNOW you're the type of person that'll get bent out of shape about it.
there's a phenomenon related to this, the euphemism treadmill. it's where a term becomes "offensive", and a new term is used as a substitute, which in turn becomes "offensive", and the cycle continues.
One of my favorite bits (that might not be intentional) in the doughnut shop bit is that he gets in his car to go to the shop… He came here on a plane that crashed… Who’s car did he take???
@@princessCashel like I said: it’s absolutely plausible that he just made a small mistake, but even if not, that makes it so much funnier. I picture him just Grand Theft Auto-Ing someone out of their car 😭

I've seen Weird Al live three times thus far but only one of them featured "Albuquerque" and that was back in 2008. While he didn't restart the song (or the show), the donut shop bit was already pretty long at that time but I see here that he's made it even longer since then!
I appreciate him addressing his use of a word that isn't considered socially appropriate anymore. And Al, if you read this, the more appropriate term now is intersex.
