Toppersmith (Stan Freberg) and of course, Harvey the Wonder Hamster. Although it was an educational TV show (by FCC requirement), the show managed to sneak in a little of Al's subversive humor - as well as a few very cool guest stars and musical acts. Unfortunately, in January 1998 the management at CBS decided to cancel their entire Saturday morning lineup. The Weird Al Show ran from September 13, 1997 to September 26, 1998.

Here are the lyrics to the song "I love Rocky Road" By Weird Al Yankovic
I hear those ice cream bells and I start to drool
Keep a couple quarts in my locker at school
Yeah, but chocolate's gettin' old
Vanilla just leaves me cold
There's just one flavor good enough for me, yeah me
Don't gimme no crummy taste spoon
I know what I need
Baby, I love rocky road
So weren't you gonna buy half a gallon, baby
I love rocky road
So have another triple scoop with me, ow
They tell me ice cream junkies are all the same
All the soda jerkers know my name
When their supply is gone
Then I'll be movin' on
But I'll be back on Monday afternoon, you'll see
Another truck load's comin' in for me, all for me
I'm singin'
I love rocky road
So weren't you gonna buy half a gallon, baby
I love rocky road
So have another triple scoop with me, ow
(oh, make it talk)
When I'm all alone, I just grab myself a cone
And if I get fat and loose my teeth that's fine with me
Just lock me in the freezer and throw away the key
Singing
I love rocky road
So weren't you gonna buy half a gallon, baby
I love rocky road
So have another triple scoop with me
I love rocky road
So weren't you gonna buy half a gallon, baby
I love rocky road
So have another triple scoop with
I love rocky road
So weren't you gonna buy half a gallon, baby
I love rocky road
So have another triple scoop with
