This is my first flash... it's nothing to brag about really, I just wanted to try my hand at it. I figured animating to a song might be a good idea for starters... and not only was this song ideal because it's relatively short, but it's just an awesomely fun song by itself.

Color? Ha! Color is for the weak. And the talented. XD

Enjoy! ... try, anyway.

[EDIT!] Thanks so much for all the reviews/comments/suggesti ons/critiques!! I'm a bit of a feedback whore, so I completely appreciate anything you have to say!
I want to put a few things here, becuase multiple people brought it up in thier reviews:
~I would put a preloader on it, but I'm kinda dumb and I don't really understand how. I know you can download them right here, but when I try and put it on the animation, I don't know if it works. I'm prolly doing something wrong and if anyone would like to take time out to help me through it, I'd be glad to accept it!
~I understand that the lipsynch is off in quite a few places, but I was too lazy to fix it. I just might though, seeing as how I'm getting relatively good feedback on it!
~I will consider color, and cleaning it up. But I'm a bit of a procrastinator... plus I made this with the 30 DAY TRIAL VERSION!! I'm working on getting the full version though. ^^
~HOLY BALLS OF CRAP I'M ON THE WEIRD AL COLLECTION?!! I'm... I'm not hallucinating, am I? Thanks so much guys!

You did this on your first attempt at flash, with trial software?! Lord t'underin' jeezus! I dunno what you thought was wrong with the lip-synch, btw - I've seen worse synch-ups on t.v. animation. I'd have given you more than 8/10 if there had been a bit of colour in it, but still... excellent work!

Author's Response:

Hahaha, well gee, I'm flattered. : D Thanks.
You know, I when I'm watching a show such as ... Family Guy, for example... where there's not too much character animation aside from the mouth movements themselves... I pay attention to the lip synch a lot. Mostly 'cause in some cases it's the only thing that's actually moving... but anyway, what I'm trying to say is I guess I see what you're saying. Not to say that the animation in FG doesn't have good lip synch... it's just fine. But there's only, like, 4 or 5 different mouth poses. I mean, it works... especially for the FG, because it's not supposed to have spectacular animation or anything...
Anyway, I don't really know what I'm getting at but I really appreciate your input! Thanks!
