That is SO clever. I've seen Weird Al in a few things----I think he did the theme song and opening sequence for one of the late, great Leslie Neilsen films.
Don't you think the word "palindrome" should have been a palindrome?

I can't be bothered to look this up but didn't Weird Al do some sort of sketch movie? I seem to remember a sequence which featured a film poster "GANDHI ll---THIS TIME HE'S MAD".
