WDHA’s Weird News – Fuzzy Turns To Weird Al For Inspiration

Inspiration can come from some odd places. In the case of WDHA's Weird News, who better for Fuzzy to turn to than Weird Al?

ANNOUNCER - Time now for WDHA's Weird News with Michael Fuzzy Lee.

FUZZY - Today in Weird News, owners of a convenience store on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, were shocked to see a bear wander into their business. They thought the bear may go on a rampage, but instead, he just sifted through some candy bars until he found what he really wanted - gummy bears.

I do have recorded audio taken from a security camera as the bear entered the store. So let's roll the clip.

CONVENIENCE STORE EMPLOYEE - Oh, my God. It's an evil black bear who came to eat us all. Everybody run!

ARNOLD AUDIO - Get to the choppa!

CONVENIENCE STORE EMPLOYEE - Hold it. False alarm. He's just looking for some gummy bears. AW, he's such a cute little fella with a sweet tooth. Let's cuddle him.

FUZZY - Good to know the bear wasn't the one on a rioting rampage. That at least Arnold was around to help out.   And lastly, in weird news, most Americans were told in advance about the EAS test that happened back on October 4, but not the Amish community.

Normally, it wouldn't matter whose members live without modern electronics. But when the alert went out, some Amish people got into a lot of trouble because they had phones they were hiding.

AHA!  So they got caught red handed. Those little deviants. But there's only one person I know who could properly reprimand them.

WEIRD AL - If you come to visit, you'll be bored to tears, we haven't even paid the phone bill in 300 years,  But we ain't really quaint so please don't point and stare we're just technologically impaired.

That's right. The Amish are supposed to be technologically impaired according to "Amish Paradise," they should be reprimanded. And that's Weird Al for DHA's Weird News.

Yeah!

David Lee Roth is one of rock's greatest frontman and, overall, one of music's most unique characters.

When he's on stage, he's the ultimate showman. When he's off stage and talking with the press, he walks a line between brilliant and insane. One minute, he takes off on a stream of consciousness that convinces you he's not all there. Then he'll throw out a surprising one-liner that'll make you think, "Holy s---...Diamond Dave's has been smarter than all of us this whole time."

Roth will often release his "stream of consciousness" moments on YouTube nowadays. Back in February, he released a clip about his music video for "California Girls." Roth, of course, released his cover of the Beach Boys classic in 1985. The cover was featured on the EP Crazy from the Heat. That EP title would be recycled by Roth as the title of his 1997 autobiography.

Roth reflected in the video, "On a personal note: I feel fairly confident saying that these were some of the best times in my life, not the times on stage that my dad most envied about me. These were probably the moments everyone else's dad envied most about my life, and looking back now, even I envy me."

It's comments like that that set DLR apart from most rock figures, both past and present. During his heyday, Roth was one of rock's biggest stars because he was fronting one of the biggest bands in the world. Plus, not enough can be said about his stage presence. How could you not love those high kicks and toe touches?! Even today, he's often more interesting than most "current" lead singers in rock. Then again, who else could really replicate his unique brand of madness?

In honor of years of zaniness, let's wish a happy birthday to the one, the only David Lee Roth by looking back at these ten quotes attributed to him.
