Yooooo I’m a huge Star Wars fan and this was absolutely perfect. Weird Al just raised the bar somehow in my eyes. How he was able to do it to this classic song is beyond me. So good!!

Fun fact: According to an article by AARP, Don McLean admitted that his kids were big fans of Weird Al, and played this song on repeat so much around the house that he almost sang Weird Al's lyrics instead of his own when performing American Pie.

It's not just that he made the lyrics fit so seemlessly into the original tune. It's also that the emotion of the original tune perfectly fits. You know Anakin is this young kid, with all the potential anyone in the Galaxy could ever ask for. And you know it's going to end badly. That keeps the bittersweetness of the original "day the music died."

Via Wookieepedia: "Lucasfilm declined Yankovic a look at the script due to the high secrecy of the film, so the musician had to search "all the leaked info I could about the movie from all the various Star Wars websites, and was able to piece together the basic plot of the movie." Still, the final mix of "The Saga Begins" was held until after Yankovic had seen an advance charity screening of the film."

Weird Al is a perfectionist. I'm sure that you may have noticed that through his vocal, musical, and stylistic mimicry of the original source material. If you want to see some stellar physical style and dance mimicry, along with his usual wit and intelligent lyrics I suggest "Living With a Hernia".

Weird Al is still around in fact. One of his recent parodies I love is "Party in the CIA" which is a parody of Miley's "Party in the USA". Other great songs of his are "Smells like Nirvana", which the Nirvana crew adored, and "Tacky", which was done with several comedians.

If I'm not mistaken, this video marked Weird Al's transition from the afro'ed glasses nerd to what is, even my straight-assed self can admit, a verifiable hunk of a musician. He fit the part perfectly and it kind of marked a turning point in his career where he went from cheap parody to serious parody. It was stunning to see him without the hair and glasses, and he's been rocking it ever since.

You know a group that legitimately helps me with my anxiety and depression? They're an A Cappella group called ''Voiceplay." They have tons of songs, but one you might like is a recent cover of "Nothing Else Matters."

I too am a major Star Wars fan. Saw the first movie when it originally came out and knew movies had changed for me forever! As a fan of Al as well I loved this song and his attention to the story! Amazing!!!

I'd love to see you react to Weird Al's "Your Horoscope for Today". It's one of my favorite of his silly songs. :)

To put it in perspective, Episode one came out May 16, 1999 and song was released June 24, 1999. The song was recorded in April before the movie was ever released.

Now you should check out Home Free's Acapella version of American Pie with Don McLean himself. For Weird Al, watch Yoda, the other Star Wars parody. There is a line that will have you crying, I promise. Keep on keepin' on, man!

I’m not a Star Wars fan and have only seen the original movie, but I love this parody. I keep watching your reaction as the amusement and joy is written all over your face. Weird Al is a lyrical/musical genius.

Great reaction Cliff. I think you'd enjoy Albuquerque by Weird Al. It's finally a fun ride. 😂

Legend says Weird Al made this video after watching ONLY the trailer for the movie.

What's even crazier is that this video was made before the movie came out. The amout of research about leaked info is amazing, he even attended a tour if I remember correctly.

I will pay good money to have Ewan McGregor sing this. Also "Smells Like Nirvana" and "Bedrock Anthem" are also great. You'll love them!
