‘Weird Al’ Yankovic bugged by green moths at state fair in Illinois
DU QUOIN, Ill. (AP) — Things got hairy for parody singer “Weird Al” Yankovic as a flock of unwanted fans rushed onstage during his performance at a state fair in southern Illinois.
Green moths swarmed Yankovic, some nesting in his trademark long curly locks.
“My band asked me if I could find a concert where we would be attacked by insects,” Yankovic told his audience Wednesday at the Du Quoin State Fair. “I said I would see what I could do.”
Yankovic didn’t seem bugged by the uninvited guests, though, as he plugged along with songs and costume changes during his self-described “rock and comedy multimedia extravaganza” to support his recent album, Poodle Hat.

"rock and comedy multimedia extravaganza"?

Zoo TV immediately came to mind.

When's he gonna do his Strokes song? It's been about three years since they came out big, so the timing's right for him.

His Strokes song will come out at about the same time that The Strokes have a top 10 hit, ie never.

Yellowcard, OTOH...

I think "Last Nite" was part of his last polka medley

Laaaaaast Nite,
There were green bugs
Oh, they were in my hair
They were in my eyes.

Well I guess a guy should bring some Black Flag.
Or maybe bring some Raid. Or maybe bring some Deet....
