About this album

Volcano (1992) 14 tracks (52:32)
Off The Deep End is the seventh album by “Weird Al” Yankovic, released in 1992. This is also Al’s first self-produced album, after six albums with Rick Derringer. The lead-off song, “Smells Like Nirvana,” is a parody of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” The album cover also parodies the cover of Nirvana’s album Nevermind, which depicts a young infant on the deep end of a pool chasing after a dollar bill on a string. The Off the Deep End cover shows Yankovic in the baby’s place apparently chasing after a donut on a string. The CD, linear notes, and artwork continue the parody of Nirvana’s album, borrowing the same blue, wave-light graphics from the printed surface of Nevermind.

“You Don’t Love Me Anymore” is misprinted on the cassette as “Don’t You Love Me Anymore.”


After Yankovic’s 1989’s movie failure, UHF, Yankovic returned to the studio to record his new album. On June 6, recording officially began, with “Airline Amy”. After the five originals (“Airline Amy,” “Trigger Happy”, “When I Was Your Age”, “You Don’t Love Me Anymore”, and “Waffle King”[1]) were done Yankovic switched to the parodies. At the time, only three parodies had been envisioned (“The White Stuff”, “I Can’t Watch This”, and “The Plumbing Song”[1]). After waiting for about a year for the “next big thing” to come out, Yankovic went on a slight hiatus in order to find the right lead-off parody/single. The album sat in a completely unfinished state for almost one year.
