Yes, Al is an extremely good rapper. If you're familiar with the musical Hamilton You should check out his Hamilton Polka. He takes the fastest rap from the show, speeds it up, and does it in five part harmony. It's amazing.

The first Weird Al song I heard was when I was a kid in the 80s: "Eat It" - a parody of Michael Jackson's "Beat It". After that there was a slew of songs. In the early 90s he spoke with Kurt Cobain on the phone about doing a parody of "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Cobain wondered if it was gonna be about food. Weird Al said something to the effect that it was gonna be about how no one knows the lyrics to your songs. Other artists have gone on record saying they were honored when approached by Weird Al because that is a sight that you're "made it" as an artist.

I love all the little things going in this video. Key and Peele in the car, Seth Green with the action figures and the ass slap, Donny Osmand dancing. The red flares shaped like Pacman when he's dressed like Chamillionaire. Key and Peele locking the door despite being in a convertible. The vulcan sign at the end. And more I know I missed. I don't know who the guys were at the bowling alley or that flipped him off in the park or the guy who sold him the Star Wars VHS tape. I had to slow it down and stop it, but the questions on the Trivial Pursuit card are hysterical. They're obviously fake.

@almostfm 11 ай бұрын

Like so many things Weird Al puts in his videos, the door-locking joke actually works on two levels. Yes, it's a convertible, so locking the doors doesn't do anything. But locking the doors is the stereotypical reaction of middle-class and above white people when they find themselves in an African -American neighborhood. Reversing it that way just cranks up the funny.
