A so-called "Weird Al' Yankovic fan" took issue with this video. Oh my, somebody put something in his orange juice today. Personally, I liked "Weird Al" skewering of Richard Harris' "MacArthur Park." When I finally heard it on AM radio back in the day, I thought it was Pretentious/Over produced/Loud/Weird. Imagery aside, "MacArthur Park" is something on my "you have made an enemy!" playlist. But the weekend has arrived, so let's RUN FOR YOIUR LIVES! The Dinosaurs are loose!;)

John Williams' soundtrack to Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park still stands as one of the best film scores of all time. With its mix of menace, wonder, and heroism, it's an album that has stood the test of time. Just ask anyone who went to see Jurassic World opening weekend and they’ll tell you that the moment the original theme kicked in they were choking up big time. As if to prove the point, the recent release of Jurassic World has given rise to an interesting happening: it’s brought the theme from Jurassic Park onto the Billboard charts, and it’s number one with a bullet. Business Insider made the announcement today that "Jurassic Park Theme" has taken the top spot on the Classical Digital Songs chart. What’s even more interesting is that the awesome classical cover duo known as The Piano Guys have taken the #2 spot on that same chart, with the very same song. The track comes off of their album, http://www.cinemablend.com/m/new/Jurassic-Park-Just-Achieved-An-Incredible-Milestone-Thanks-Jurassic-World-72134.html
