That was both cute and weird... Have to listen a few more times to decide which.

It was depressing... I really appreciate the show that the good skippers put on. When you get that really good skipper, it makes the trip. I'll never forget the recording from that guy from the Disnelandian web site's Jungle Cruise section who was absolutely hilarious.

I wonder if that song is a metaphor for Weird Al's career. In other words, deep down he really wants to be a serious musician and he has some real talent, but he's stuck in this character where he's putting on pulp shows that are really beneath his ability.

I get the feeling this was inspired by a ride on the Cruise...and perhaps some revealing aside facial expressions from his guide. Although I know that most of the Captains really enjoy doing it...there's gotta be a few who feel exactly this way...

I really enjoyed the video though. I met Al in the LAX airport on a trip back to Chicago once. He was very nice...and was actually being accompanied by a pretty hot lady friend.

yeah, I agree with the rest of you. It was fun and weird and slightly depressing and I wonder if he's feeling that way about himself.

But that being said, it was nice to see the attention to detail paid to our beloved Jungle Cruise.

A Bengal Tiger can jump over 30 feet...

Pretty funny.

Like the same-old-same-old on that job is much different than most others.

I thought I noticed my skipper making a gun gesture to his head. Confused

I like it, it's a nice joke. He's obviously not done all his research though, there are some inaccuracies Razz

Something strange about this video, I liked the humor, but also, felt a little offended. I don't think even the skippers were offended by this, so, I don't know why it affected me that way.
