This song is one of Al's early works, released before his self-titled debut album in 1983. It is no surprise that this song is hardly available, as most of Al's early, pre-1983 portfolio is in fact, unavailable.

Al has even said in an unknown interview with the public he would rather have a naked image of him released on the internet than have an old song released to the public.

"Orgy On My Own" is a "Weird Al" Yankovic song recorded in 1981. The only confirmed time it has ever been played live was the second show on June 12th, 1981, at Knott's Berry Farm. Other than that, not much else is known.

This song is part of Al's early works, released before his self-titled debut album in 1983. It is no surprise that this song is unavailable, as most of Al's pre-1983 portfolio is in fact, unavailable, the main reason being that Al is very embarrassed about his early music, which is why his early music hasn't been played outside of some unrecorded episodes of the Dr. Demento Show.[1] He has even said in an unknown interview with the public, that he would rather have a naked image of him released on the internet than have an old song released to the public.

"Orgy On My Own" was originally uploaded to YouTube in 2012 by user JohnnyLurg, but this video was taken down, which turned it back into being one of the rarest "Weird Al" Yankovic songs in existence. However, the song was eventually saved by Reddit user invisiblehippo97, who sent the file to Lost Media Wiki user stewartisme. The song was then uploaded to YouTube on September 5th, 2015, along with a mirror on MEGA.
