Amazingly enough, that's now back on YouTube as well; search for
Yankovic and probably "bus" and you should turn it up. I actually
thought this one was too weird for my taste, but they do call him
"Weird Al"...

About Tom Snyder, I remember when they canned his show and replaced it
with a show by a virtual unknown. The scent of death was in the air.
Saturday Night Live featured this in a skit of theirs on the Bizzaro
Broadcasting Corporation. Expectations were low, but then the new show
did okay. Dave Letterman turned out to be way more popular than most
people expected.
