When I was a kid, I wrote a fan letter to Weird Al and he answered with a full hand written reply on an oversized postcard with his picture on the other side. I have been backstage at 4 Ozzfests, and that was still the coolest interaction I've ever had with a famous person. All Hail Al.

I once met him in Vegas during one of his tours. I caught him leaving the building and immediately I asked for an autograph, but I didn’t have any paper, so this man grabbed one of his long cardboard displays, signed it and handed it to me with a laugh. One of the best experiences of my life lmao

Most interdepartmental E-mail messages, especially those sent out by dippy make work middle mangers trying to improve morale are annoying, plentiful, and almost entierly useless. Don't believe me...

Al's original tunes never get any radio play, but they're epic. Dude's a true musician.

@judiththymes8828 4 года назад

Sooooooo I guess this is an original...? If not, what song is it a parody of?

@contrabardus 4 года назад

Actually, he hasn't really made any "original" songs that I can think of. I only mean "original" as in "not a parody of something else", and I am not knocking Al or his talent. His "originals" are pretty much always style parodies. Not of a particular song, but rather of a sound a particular artist has. This one is a parody of Meatloaf and Jim Steinman colabs, particularly from Bat out of Hell. Particularly "Anything for Love" and even more so "Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are", despite not actually being a direct parody of either. Put the latter into the RU-vid search bar and you'll immediately hear what I mean.

@contrabardus 4 года назад

@MsYogaGrrrl Those are all style Parodies. "Mr Frump" is a style parody of Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant". This one is really hard to miss if you've heard the original. "One More Minute" is an obvious style parody of 50s style ballads, The Platters and "The Great Pretender" in particular, but there's a bit of Elvis in there as well. "The Night Santa Went Crazy" is a Soul Asylum style parody that throws in a little bit of Ozzy era Black Sabbath." "Happy Birthday" is a style parody of songwriter Tonino K, who Al is a big fan of. They are all technically original songs, but all of Al's music parodies someone else somehow or another as far as I know. He's really, really good at pulling off the style and sound of other artists even when he's not lampooning a particular one of their songs.

@popcultureaddict733 4 года назад

His all time best joke might just be from a song that he'll never get to release. It's a tragedy. He wrote a version of "Live and let Die" (the Bond theme) called "Chicken pot pie" Apparently he won't release it without Paul McCartney's approval, and being vegan, Paul couldn't quite bring himself to sign off on a song all about eating chicken But just imagine it. You know the instrumental bit in the middle? The bit that goes "Dun-dun-dun"? Picture that bit in a song all about chicken: "Bok-Bok-Bok! Bok-bok-bok…BOK-BOK! Bok-Bok-Bok! Bokbok-bok-Bok-BAWK"

@patoren3gou653 5 лет назад

This song may be even more relevant in 2019 than it was 2011

@patoren3gou653 5 лет назад

Not necessarily because of the forwarding emails thing, but because of people believing crazy shit they read once and liking vapid no-effort articles about self help cooking and politics, I have a feeling that if al wrote this a little later he’d include a jab at celebrity’s using disasters to promote products as well as buzzfeed and their dumbass videos on politics (shit like questions [Minority group] have for [majority group] and the man spreading video) that just makes liberals look bad and perpetuates millennial stereotypes

And still continue to use Facebook :) So yeah, maybe there are some english-speakers who just don't understand the song, but maybe the problem don't even pass through their mind, because feed by the others.

10 years later in the age of facebook shares from older people, toxic twitter users who spam nonsense, a trashed RU-vid algorthim that does the same, and now RU-vid comment section bots; this song is actually EVEN MORE RELEVANT THAN WHEN IT WAS ORIGINALLY RELEASED 10 YEARS AGO.

We needed an updated version of this song for RU-vid. Entitle it: "Stop Recommending This Crap to Me"... In all seriousness, though, I love this song. So much so, back when I had a Facebook page (ie, no life at all), I used to tag people with this video whenever I saw some stupid Dorkly or Collegehumor thing in my feed. This caused one of my "friends" to no longer be my friend...And I never gave a shit in the slightest back then as I currently don't right now! Thank you, Weird Al. You truly deserve every bit of praise you get and then some.

When I was in college. there was a girl who never liked me, never talked to me unless she had to, wouldn't even look at me half the time. We got assigned to the same group project, so I had to give everybody my email. The project got done and we never spoke again. Fast forward five years or so, and her email account got hacked somehow. I started getting floods of emails from her, offers from companies, virus links, etc. etc. So ironically, out of all the people I went to college with, I hear from the person who liked me the least the most.

I replied them, asking to kindly use blind copy in the future because I don't want all the people in the company to know my personal e-mail and they even got offended (the reply came in the form "Okay, we won't send you stuff like that in the future" but the tone of the message was clear).
