I would say being snubbed by The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is the most rock & roll thing that could happen. Because the HOF is the least R&R thing in the world. They routinely snub the most rock & roll acts. They're a joke.

Weird Al is one of two artists that I've actually gone to see in concert. I absolutely cannot hear any of the songs he's parodied without his lyrics anymore. Honestly, I thought *_I Lost On Jeopardy_* was an original song until this year.

Somehow "the movie, UHF" and "failure" just don't register in the same conversation to me. UHF will ALWAYS be one of my favorite movies.

I really enjoyed this video. I just want to point out something everybody overlooks. I saw Al being interviewed by Dan Rather and he explained that he was seriously bullied in school and that's why his mother watched him with binoculars. It wasn't just because she was over protective. Being 2 years younger than everybody made him a target for kids that put him into trash cans and forced him to give them his lunch money. I like your video editing, btw and Summer Woods music is great.

When Al reenacts Jim Morrisons famous drunk onstage rant, I knew I was watching top level comedy. Edit- When you mentioned Al was done with food songs, it makes Foil even more genius because it STARTS as a food parody, then goes wonderfully dark.

i have to say that the same thing with weird al and being generally misunderstood or seen as a "one-hit wonder" also applies to other artists as well. a great example of this is DEVO, always the same questions in interviews, only famous for one song but have done much better in their fourth dimensional satire. great video by the way! long live al.

He’s sold over 12 million albums. That’s a pretty great legacy.

"Making deliberate eyes at Prince" I nearly died laughing. I commend you for calling out the constant repetition of those SAME. FOUR. QUESTIONS!!! that His Royal Peculiarity must be beyond exhausted of answering yet again when they inevitably rear their lazy, uninspired heads.

"he who is tired of weird Al is tired of life" - Homer Simpson It is amazing how weird Al can have such a resounding popularity among the public and a ton of cameos and voice acting parts without having any "official" awards for it, but in a way, that is the beauty about him. Legend says that the reason Kurt Cobain killed himself was because he was afraid his music was becoming too commercial, which is what a punk rocker trying to always be on the outside, fighting the system, should be afraid of. In a way, weird Al is always walking the thin line between being an extremely popular artist, while not being recognised for it and always staying on the outside, but without being so edgy, anti establishment about it. Also, remember when COVID hit, and all the socially inept actors sang "imagine", or saying "we are all in this together" from within their million dollar mansions? Weird Al put one video: his accordion rendition of Classical Gas by Tommy Emmanuel, just to remind us that beyond being a master parodist and an unexpectedly great rapper, he can take a break and just play amazingly complicated musical pieces

I love Al's New movie! I've watched it at least 10 times already! I don't care what anyone says. The movie is a timeless masterpiece and I REALLY HOPE it comes out on DVD and/ or blue ray. It deserves a spot on my wall of best movies ever!

Great video. I have loved Al for years and actually got to see him in concert once. It was amazing. There were small kids with their parents, grandparents, teens the lot. Everyone wearing Hawaiian shirts and having a rocking time. I wish he would come back again. Thanks for posting.

I have been a hardcore fan of Al since I heard Eat It and Another One Rides The Bus. I got to see him live in 1985, and I loving love that he is getting so much attention today. And the “Yo Ding Dong, Man” is a test we give anyone trying to join my cool kids table. That and “Dental Plan (Lisa needs braces)”.

I could watch an entire episode on UHF, his work on "Johnny Dangerously," and how he took a date to see naked gun in the theater knowing he had a cameo in the movie. #totalballermove

I saw Weird on opening night at the SCAD film festival. The whole audience adored it.

Sebastian, I enjoyed watching your video. First time watching -- when I clicked Play I assumed I would hear yet another robot voice mispronouncing names and throwing out factless information. I was so pleasantly surprised! You have worked hard on this presentation and it shows. I have followed Weird Al for decades and I didn't hear anything off. Kudos to you! You have earned my subscription.

14:44 the night santa went crazy

Saying the 'Weasel Stomping Day' is about animal cruelty is not inaccurate, but also a very shallow interpretation. It's a song about the arcane, divisive, and sometimes cruel thing people do in the name of tradition.

This is a very good video, it's good to see a documentary style video that actually has some insightful things to say about Weird Al

Great video! Love all the visuals and facts. I hope your channel grows. You have a definite gift for what you do.

I had an aunt Dot, my mother's side. My mother was pretty much a lonely child (being her brother was 14 years older than her) her parents had her later in their lives living in Torrance California. My mother played accordion when she was a kid and is now 67. There's Too Many on these things are WAY to similar. XD

So you mean he didn't actually kill Pablo Escobar?

Love the Volcano worshipers club, that turned into an in joke in UHF where they have a show called the Volcano worshipers hour lol so awesome!

I love how Weird Al is actually the narrator I can totally tell his voice

Weird Al is the Three Stooges of our time but especially my age group. He's a true icon and hopefully will be making parodies for a long time to come.

"Yo, ding dong, man, ding dong, ding dong yo." - How said hello for about ten years

Wow, this was amazing! Underrated as hell!

Al's great, I love him

2:37 ahhh I finally know where that came from, good.

This is wayyyy too good to be from a channel this size. You are criminally underrated sir.

This video is incredible. Keep it up, Sebastian!

He is so funny, his parodies are excellent intelligent just bring on the superlatives, he had me rolling of the couch with his video's.

Randomly watched your vid via search after watching the movie, and well done. I agree it's a gem in terms of parodizing the biopic genre. It was a lot of fun.

I just saw this in my feed and I'm blown away how few views and subscribers you have. This is great content. Keep it up and I hope it will lead to more success!

I've yet to see the movie. But, I contend that Weird Al Yankovic is the greatest writer of our time. There are few people to have ever lived that grasp such a mastery of the English language. He is, in no uncertain terms, The GOAT.

Great voice for commentary style videos! Plus you're an Al fan 😂

The Volcano Worshippers’ Club! And valedictorian of his high school class at age 16! 🤩

That's not Stan Freberg singing "Hello Mudda Hello Fadda," it's Allan Sherman.

I'm extremely impressed. Very well done video.

Outstanding!

I wasn’t interested in W:TAYS until I heard Al say in an interview that he was really looking forward to the Elton John biopic and was disappointed with how much they changed the facts. His passion for the truth spurned him to make the most outrageous film ever.

Keep up the good work. We need more Al. Got a flavor for more Al

I met him at Ontario Place once and i was so awkward; i was 8, ran up with my brothers and asked are you weird al, he said yes, and then we just ran away bouncing around shouting i knew it. He must have been like "okay?"

I love Weird Al , going to watch movie this week can’t wait!!! Always been a fan of his since day one❤

It was made for a fan like you. ❤ and me! Great video. Good info

I’m so glad that Al didn’t adopt the crips or whatever gang and turned into the weird Al we know!

Great vid!!!!

I'm reminded of the "Bad Religion" title track "Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction"

Your voice sounds like Weird Al trying REALLY HARD not to sound like Weird Al

I've just watched a 20min video that is really good and you only have 448 subscribers?? Great to get in on a channel early. Keep doing it!

Oh HELL yeah. I loved Dr. Demento, Spike Jones, Tom Lehrer. Of COURSE I love Weird Al. So proud that he turned that nickname on it's ear. EVERYONE knows who Weird Al is!!!

Towards the end I was hearing christmas at ground zero and the night santa went crazy

I still think it's funny that the one regret that Al has about the biopic is that he didn't let Daniel Radcliffe sing.

How does this guy only have 378 subs? We need to get him to 1k

A great individualist and survivor. Viva, Weird Al!

Really well made video!! ^__^

Watching Al with binoculars? Now that's an Italian mother!

Imagine bullying someone and giving them a nick name only for them to use that Nick name as their stage name and become one of the most famous comedy musician figures in the country

The reason Weird Al isn't in the rock n roll hall of fame is because he's better than the rock n roll hall of fame.

All is the definition of the internet

Awesome video! I loved the new Weird Al movie it was so perfect!

So I am from India and I have no idea about pop culture and never hear of weird Al but saw the trailer with Daniel radcliffe I love all the weird movie he does . Now I am soooo interested in weird al and everything about him.

Coolio did give him permission to parody Gangsta’s Paradise. But once he heard it, he didn’t like it. Once they made up, he regretted being mad at Weird Al.

What a ride of a vide, keep going man ❤️‍🔥

GREAT GREAT video!!

10:15 he kinda looks like Deadpool all cleaned up 😂

I love how the new movie is just a parody of als life lol

Weird Al has been a life long inspiration. Thanks to him, I also Dare to be Stupid.

I'm a big fan of I Think I'm a Clone Now, and nobody else seems to be. I never hear anyone mention it, and when I mention it no one ever knows what I'm taking about. But at least "I can stay at home while I'm out of town".

Hey Johnny dangerously tune in the background I need to find a way to watch that some time.

I think its Allen Sherman, not Stan Freeberg

Good show, please keep rolling!

To be fair, Weird Al really only ripped off Coolio for the video. Coolio had no right to be mad about the song when he did the exact same thing, writing new words to a Stevie Wonder song.

I enjoyed this video. Great companion to the movie imo.

hows this guy only got 400 subs

The straight answer to the abstract schism of ( oxymoron ) between ( ' The Wizard of Oz vs Pleasantville ' // ' black & white vs color tv ' ) is a maritime Alfred in a breached 4th wall of communications straight out of Adam Wests utility belt boy wonder ! - Did somebody say " you cant make this stuff up " - ?

It is sad to see Al Yankovic murdered by Madonna in 1985, what a loss that would never been alleviated if he wasn't still alive till now!

Loving the videos. Keep them coming. Stop hardcoding the subs onto the video.

tHsT NoT FUnNy HeHeeE (the song had Special meaning)

awesome video

Fab! 👌

Al is a king. always has been

Allan Sherman

Hello I have subscribed to your KZfaq channel

That's Allen Sherman, not Stan Frieberg.

That “Those Same Four Questions” bit was all too true. Shows you just how little research the host(esse)s put into their interviews beforehand. On another note, I hope Al doesn’t go exclusively digital releases. Physical media doesn’t have to worry nearly as much about censorship or file corruption.

If a spaceship ever landed in my back yard & aliens got out & asked me to take them to my leader, I'm taking them to Weird Al Yankovic's place. Because I can't think of a better individual upon which all of humanity could be judged. Plus I'm pretty sure no other advanced civilization would ever have invented the accordion, so we'd have that whole unique thing going for us, too.

Good job on tgis vid 👍 . i would love to see him on SNL . LOL

Ding dong, yo!

2:46 - That's Allan Sherman not Stan Freberg

This is cool, but I feel like I am watching an anime sub; I blink and then feel like I missed five years of his life.

Who is that Take Me Down To SLO Town cover from?

Really well done! If I may offer a piece of constructive criticism, sometimes the backing music makes it a little hard to focus on your narration. Maybe mix it a little bit quieter? Your narration is clear and easy on the ears but I find that the lyrics are a little distracting. Great song choice, though.

Hey man, great video. a bit of advice, unless it's completely relevant, try to avoid using music with lyrics while you're talking so you don't have to fight over them.

Anybody know what song is playing in the background audio that starts around 4:32? I can hear the chorus saying "take me down (take me down) to that good old ???" but I'm having a hard time making out other lyrics to find the song.

I thought your channel had several million subs!

Weird Al went off the rails pretty quick, tbh.

10:13 America invented punk in Detroit in the mid 60’s and since then there has NEVER been a point where there haven’t been thousands of punk bands throughout the country.

What do you mean "Truth versus Fiction"? Are you implying the biopic isn´t fact?

About coolios music video that guy with curly hair who’s that he looks like he would been in a rock band or something then rap he has cool curly hair like loose like

My lands man, such quick takes on the opening intro edit is seizure inducing….
