">Turns out Al needed a
pair of grunge cheerleaders to dance behind him for the performance of
Smells Like Nirvana (a parody of the Nirvana hit Smells
Like Teen Spirit). They arrived expecting to have to learn
someone else's choreography, but instead were shown one of the many
videos of previous performances and told to make up their own.
(And would a pair of dance instructors prefer to make up their own
choreography than have to learn someone else's? Does a...well,
just insert your own sarcastic metaphor here: [....................])
The performance went just
fine, and the side benefits also included backstage passes for their
hubbies for the post-concert
meet-greet-and-have-your-picture-taken-with-Al event. Oh, and they
also got to have their pictures taken with some other local guys who
backed Al up on a couple of Star Wars themed songs. Al apparently
has no problems in his travels with finding local guys who enjoy playing
Star Wars dress-up and can even provide their own costumes...
 
It was quite a thrill to
appear on stage with Weird Al - Miss Alison in particular has been a
Weird Al fan since we first discovered him (ahem) let's just say
"several" years ago. (Yes, those are our cassette
tapes in the foreground of the picture - he was kind enough to
autograph the liners.) We're hoping that a video of the
performance will show up on YouTube, to join the several that are
already there. What an incredibly talented, imaginative, and funny
guy!
On October 27, 2007,
Applause Studio participated in the Thrill The World project, which set
a new world record for the most dancers simultaneously dancing to
Michael Jackson's Thriller. On October 28, 2008, we're
going to help break it! For more information, see

In the meantime, here are some pictures and videos from the 2007 event:
