Cover art

Yankovic often includes the number 27 somewhere in his songs, videos, album art, and memorabilia. For example, he wears a 27 on the cover of this album, and 27 photos are included in the photo gallery on the "Weird Al" Yankovic Live! DVD. This motif began as several coincidental appearances of the number, but Yankovic began intentionally using it after the original incidents were pointed out to him. Weird Al Yankovic Live! is a live video recording of Weird Al Yankovics concert at the Marin Center, in San Rafael, California, on October 2, 1999. ... For other uses, see Motive. ...

The CD booklet contains the lyrics to all the songs on the album. However, due to the extended length of the closing song "Albuquerque", not all of the lyrics fit on the final panel of the booklet. Instead of continuing with the lyrics at the end of the booklet, there is an apology from Al stating that there was no way he could have fit the rest of the song's lyrics on it, and he "should have used a smaller font or a bigger piece of paper or something."

This is the first cover featuring Al's "new" look (longer hair, no mustache, and no glasses) after he had LASIK eye surgery to correct his vision.
