Hypothetical: How would you retheme a game?
Knights are tanks, thieves are jet fighters, farmers are battleships, monks are long tom artillery.

2. A quick google search revealed at least 3 KISS boardgames. I can only assume that if you roll a 1, it's cold gin time again.

Yah yah whatever you are to pseudo-hip to have ever dug "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald". Whatever. But he does the same sort of thing to the Talking Heads though the name of the song eludes me at the moment.

It's "Dog Eat Dog." And "Dare to Be Stupid" is the greatest song Devo never wrote.

So, I loved this song as a kid. (Also "Alberta Bound"). I offer only two explanations:
1) I grew up on the shore of Lake Superior and they played that song on the radio.
2) I was a weird-ass kid.
Of course I also loved Weird Al. I always thought one of his songs was a riff on Zappa, but I forget which one. Alberquerque maybe?

You're thinking of "Genius in France."
My favorite Weird Al original is probably "Hardware Store," which is coincidentally a song whose appeal I have a very hard time explaining.

Not even talking about his parodies of specific songs like "Eat it" or "I Lost on Jeopardy". But when he can distill an an entire artist's style down to its essence and then destroy it...that is a gift. For example listen to "The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota" and then try to listen to Gordon Lightfoot ever again.

Very specific to the US though. I've barely heard of him and the stuff I've seen is not that funny. I guess that means I'm a liar and a douchebag.
