There was a time when Weird Al was an idol not to be reckoned with. In the mind of a pre-teen "Dare to be Stupid" was a masterpiece like no other. The parodies kept flowing for a while, and we started losing interest. We came back around to Weird Al when he made appearances on VH1's I Love the 80's 3-D. Now he's back with a new album.

The rains come again this weekend and there's something that will keep you busy inside. VH1 and MTV won't be showing you non-stop videos like they once did. MTV2 doesn't even seem to have that type of programming – but the internets is not killing the video star. If anything the flame has been reignited (we haven't watched so many videos for years).

There have been a couple compendiums made of the available music videos, though none seem to be quite as addictive as the "I Love the 80's Music" list you'll find here. 1,500 videos from the eighties – you'll be busting out your fluorescent headband and rocking big socks pulled up over the cuffs of your jeans in no time. Well, that or watching Shannon sing Let the Music Play, the USA for Africa collaboration of We Are the World, Weird Al Yankovic's Fat, Wilson Philips and…oh, let's leave it at that, it's hard to stop once you’ve started. more ›

Sure, it doesn't have the glitz or glamour of the Oscars, Emmys, Grammys, Golden Globes, or any of the countless other Hollywood award ceremonies. After all, people who spend their days pecking away at a keyboard may not all be ready for a shindig with tuxedos, red carpets, and Joan Rivers (well, is anyone ready for Rivers? - times two). more ›
