The album's music is parodies of pop and rock music from the 1980s. Yankovic made parody versions of songs by many musicians. Half of the album is parodies of songs other people have made, such as Michael Jackson, Men Without Hats, the Police, and Survivor. The other half of the album is "style parodies". This is music that does not parody any song. It parodies the style of music a person makes. The album has style parodies based on Bob Marley and the B-52s. "In 3-D" is different from Yankovic's first album (""Weird Al" Yankovic"). The parody songs on the album were more similar to their original songs. Yankovic also did not play the accordion for every song. It is Yankovic's first album with a polka themed mix of popular songs on it. Yankovic has put a polka mix on many albums since "In 3-D".
""Weird Al" Yankovic in 3-D" went to number 17 on the "Billboard" 200. This is an American music chart. It also went to number 61 on Australian music charts. The album has one of Yankovic's most popular singles on it. It is named "Eat It". This single went to number 12 on the "Billboard" Hot 100. This was his highest charting song until 2006. "Eat It" was also number one in Australia. This makes it his only number one song in any country. The album had two more singles: "King of Suede" and "I Lost on Jeopardy". The album was certified platinum by the RIAA. "Eat It" won a Grammy Award in 1985. | v0 |

} | wikipedia | Joseph Henry Loveless
Joseph Henry Loveless was born in 1870 in Payson, Utah Territory. His mother, Sarah Jane Scriggins, was from Massachusetts while his father, Joseph Jackson Loveless, was from Indiana. Both of his parents were early pioneers with the Latter Day Saint movement.
In 1979, a family searching for arrowheads in Buffalo Cave, near Boise, Idaho discovered human remains in a burlap sack. The remains consisted of a headless torso. In 1991, a girl found a hand in the same cave, prompting excavations which recovered both legs and an arm. Forensic researchers estimated the the man was of European descent, and was around 40 years old at the time of death. Identification was thought implausible due to a missing head. In 2019, Idaho State University researchers and Clark County authorities solicited help from the DNA Doe Project, a nonprofit organization that seeks to identify unidentified deceased persons via forensic genealogy. Researchers constructed a genealogical tree for the unidentified remains. Because one of Loveless' grandfather's was a polygamist with four wives, the tree was "huge" with hundreds of cousins and other relatives. Loveless was considered as a plausible candidate, though, as his gravestone was found to be a cenoptah (not accompanied by his remains). Loveless' 87-year old grandson was identified as living in California, and he agreed to take a DNA test, which confirmed that the remains were those of his grandfather Joseph Henry Loveless. | v0 |

} | wikipedia | Viscount Norfolk
Viscount Norfolk is a title in the peerage of England. The seat of the Viscount Norfolk was Norfolk House in Westminster, London although was pulled down in 1938. The current and 14th Viscount Norfolk is Leopold Robert James Henry Bowes Fitzalan-Howard. Born on the 17th October 1990 at The Portland Hospital, London, then styled as The Hon. Leopold Robert James Henry Bowes Fitzalan-Howard by parents Countess Clarissa Soanes, a consultant psychiatrist and Earl Bowes, Martin Connell-Howard, a captain in the Royal Navy. Upon his eighteenth birthday he became Lord Bowes, a Scottish title deriving from the family through marriage in the 18th century to the House of Howard. He is the nephew of the current Duke of Norfolk and cousin to the .
Upon the death of the 13th Viscount Norfolk in 2019, he assumed the title and became the 14th Viscount Norfolk and is styled as His Lordship Leopold Fitzalan-Howard Viscount Norfolk although is known professionally as Leo Howard.
The Norfolk's have historically been Catholic, a state of affairs known as recusancy in England.
Created in 1070, the first major dynasty to hold the title was the 12th and 13th century Bigod family, and it then was later held by the Mowbrays, who were also made Dukes of Norfolk. Due to the Bigods' descent in the female line from William Marshal, they inherited the hereditary office of Earl Marshal, still held by the Duke's of Norfolk today. The present title was created in 1644 for Thomas Howard, 18th Earl of Arundel, the heir of the Howard Dukedom of Norfolk which had been forfeit in 1572. Arundel's grandson, the 20th Earl of Arundel and 3rd Earl of Norfolk, was restored to the Dukedom as 5th Duke upon the Restoration in 1660, and the title continues to be borne by the Dukes of Norfolk and their relatives.
All past and present Viscounts have been related to the Duke's of Norfolk and have been descended from Edward I. The son of Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk, was Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey; the earl was descended from Edward III. As all subsequent dukes after Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk are descendants of the Earl of Surrey, this means they are also descended from Edward III.
The title Viscount Norfolk was restored in its 6th generation after Queen Victoria reissued by Letters Patent to Admiral Sir Martin Bowes-Howard and became 11th Viscount Norfolk.
Earls of Norfolk, fifth creation (1644).

} | wikipedia | Listicle
When talking about journalism, a listicle in an article that is published as a list. The titles of such articles will usually contain a number, and often a superlative: "The 10 most important things...", "The 30 best places..." are examples of such titles. The article will then give this numbered list, and often also an explanation, for each item. Many of these listicles are presented in a count-down order, so that the best item is at the end. This also implies a ranking. Other listicles give no ranking directly, and simply discuss the items, perhaps gropuing them by theme: "20 things to do in ..".The word is a portmanteau derived from "list" and "article." The word is similar to "popsicle". This stresses the fun but "not too nutritious" nature of the listicle.
Listicles also have the benefit that they can be produced more rapidly than in-depth articles or essays, which may require a lot of research.
Media.
While conventional reportage and essay-writing often require the careful crafting of narrative flow, the building-block nature of the listicle lends itself to more rapid production. It can also be a means of "recycling" information, as often it is the context, not the content, that is original. For example, one can construct a listicle by adding captions to YouTube clips. For these reasons, the form has come under criticism as a "kind of cheap content-creation".
It's so easy you wonder why everyone doesn't do it until you realize that now it's all they do: Come up with an idea ("Top 10 Worst [X]") on the L train ride to the office that morning, [and] slap together 10 (or 25, or 100) cultural artifacts ripe for the kind of snarky working over that won't actually tax you at all as a writer/thinker.
The blogger and technologist Anil Dash has disparaged the proliferation of listicles, particularly within the blogosphere, characterizing them in 2006 as the "geek equivalents of Cosmo coverlines".
Nevertheless, the form remains a mainstay of the newsstand and of the web. The covers of magazines such as "Cosmopolitan" and "Men's Journal" regularly sport at least one, if not several listicles. Some websites, such as BuzzFeed, generate hundreds of listicles daily.
History.
Alex Johnson, writing for "The Independent", suggested that an 1886 speech by Sir John Lubbock which gave a list of around 100 books "which on the whole are perhaps best worth reading" was an early form of listicle, and that Lubbock should be considered the 'godfather' of the format.
Steven Poole suggested that listicles have literary precursors like Jorge Luis Borges's "The Analytical Language of John Wilkins". He also compares it to more high-art versions like Umberto Eco's "The Infinity of Lists", a book composed entirely of lists.
In 2009, posts in the format "25 Random Things About Me" became an Internet meme, starting on Facebook but spreading to the broader web, and attracting considerable media coverage in the process. | v0 |

A programming block is the arrangement of television and radio programs so that similar types of programs will air in succession. TV channels and radio stations tend to do this with the hope that it will keep viewers interested and stay tuned to the station for a longer period of time rather than leave after just one show. This is quite popular in cable TV, where they can arrange reruns into blocks to fill daytime slots where there aren’t so many viewers watching. Some blocks have become so popular that they ended up getting their own channel. | v0 |
