Gezza wrote that Al said that 27 was the cube root of 19,683. If you add the digits of 19,683 (1+9+6+8+3) You Get 27.

In "Dirty Deeds done with Sheep," one of the first lines is "Dial in 9-7-6-B-A-A-A." Now, remember that stupid code you find in old Archie comics? "A=1, B=2, etc.? Well, try that. 9+7+6+2+1+1+1=27 Ta-Da!

At Al-con 2002, a performer was there that has toured with Al before, named Tony Goldmark. On his cd "Tony Goldmark sings The Sorcerer's Stone" There is a whole two tracks on the conspiracy behind the number 27. It even includes quotes from Weird Al.

I dont know if this is any help but check it: Stanley Spudski of Phoenix, AZ asks: Hey Al. In the insert/lyrics page included with the "Running With Scissors" CD there is a picture of you and your band. Is there any special reason why your drummer, Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz, chose the number "9" to wear on his shirt? I think it’s because of his being a Beatles fan (“Number nine…. Number nine…. Number nine…”)

"Number nine... Number nine... Number nine..." That adds up to twenty-seven!!!

I read in an interview with Weird Al that he actually uses 27 because his concert tickets are $27. That's pretty cheap, but it's the truth.

I heard somewhere that when you ask someone the for an odd number larger than 20, the most common answer is 27... so it's built in, like 42 (as you all know).
