1. My great uncle was in a band and the lead singer of the band was the kid that sung the “I wish I was an Oscar Meyer weiner” commercial.

2. My mother was a background extra on TWO episodes of ER, because she met the director at a karaoke bar.

3. My uncle met the two original band members from They Might Be Giants in 1992

4. My dad was on an episode of Judge Mathis

5. I (and I’m sure a lot of people on this subreddit) met Weird Al on his tour and got a picture with him.

I know it's only been nearly 2 years since Polkamania released, but since then we've gotten many great popular songs in the leaderboards; with many more likely to come. - Also, what do you think the polka will be called?

Per his IG story

Because if he does I'd love to see what he thought about the 10 page letter I gave him in person on August 8th 2025 at his concert in Idaho Falls, Idaho, I was near the end of the line and i was wearing all black with blue sunglasses, he said he would read it and I'm honestly considering going to see him again just to meet him again and ask him if he read it but I know he has so many fans it would be hard for him to remember all of us, if anyone is interested i can send you a modified (taking out personal information) copy of the letter i gave him or maybe post it here, when i got up there to him i said "this is the best day of my life!" and he said "mine too!" and that was probably the greatest thing to happen to me, if i didn't get a bad migraine an hour later it probably would have been the greatest day of my life but I guess I'll save that for if i ever get married anyway i really hope he does see this.
