Yankovic, Weird Al - Lame Claim To Fame Lyrics






[Verse 1:]
One time I was in the checkout line
Behind Steven Seagal
Once I'm pretty sure Mr. Jonah Hill
Was in the very next bathroom stall
My best friend's brother
Well, he was an extra in Wayne's World 2
My neighbour's baby sitter
Dated three of the guys in Motley Crue
I swear Jack Nicholson
Looked right at me at a Laker's game

[Hook:]
I got a lame
Lame claim to fame

[Verse 2:]
Check it out, I bought a second hand toaster
from a guy who says he knows Brad Pitt
I got me an email from the prince of Nigeria
Well, he sure sounded legit
My sister used to take piano lessons
From the second cousin of Ralph Nader
Last year I threw up in an elevator
Next to Christian Slater
Well guess what, my birthday and Kim Kardashian's
Are exactly the same

[Hook x2]

[Bridge:]
Once at a party, my dentist accidentally
Sneezed on Russell Crowe
I posted first in the comments
On a YouTube video
I tried to sit by Steve Buscemi
But he told me this seat's taken
I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy
Who know a guy who knows a guy who know Kevin Bacon

[Verse 3:]
I had a car that used to belong
To Cuba Gooding Jr.'s uncle
A friend of mine in high school
Had jury duty with Art Garfunkel
One time I was staying in the same hotel
As Zooey Deschanel
I used the same napkin dispenser
As Steve Carell at a Taco Bell
I don't mean to brag but
Paul Giamatti's plumber knows me by name

[Hook x4]

[Outro:]
Ow, let's get lame boys

    My brother was a big fan of Adam Sandler. On the one and only big trip my family ever took (all others were to the Delaware Beach) we went to Bermuda and on the plane trip back (only the second time we had ever been on an airplane, the first being our trip there) we met Adam Sandler! We were not sure it was him at first, but my brother being such a big fan, I went up and asked him timidly and he said it was him and he signed the only thing we had handy, our plane boarding pass. Being older, I now feel bad as several other people went up to him afterward, probably making the last day of his vacation a little overwhelming, but if you ever read this Adam, that signature was ruined by our house being flooded two years later and my brother still is sad about the loss of that signed boarding pass to this day. If you ever reach out to me, I will lovely give you my brother's address to send him a new signature, he still loves all your movies.

    My best friend invited me to see a play with him, but gave me the wrong directions for the theater. He said he'd save my seat for me, (the front desk would have my ticket) but when I got there halfway through, they made me stand at the back. When I met with my best friend later, he told me Bradley Cooper quickly came in and stole the seat my friend was holding for me, saying he'd move if I showed up. When the play ended, he left just as quickly as he'd arrived.

    So to make it a snappy song lyric: one time at a theater, my seat was stolen by Bradley Cooper.
