@Chandster I would dare say that Al also usually _improves_ the music of the songs he parodies, as he doesn't just replace the lyric track from a stock recording but actually records an all-new performance. Whenever I hear certain originals like Nirvana's "Smells like Teen Spirit" or Cherry Poppin' Daddies' "Zoot Suit Riot" they feel extremely flat compared to Al's vibrant renditions.

@Luschan Жыл бұрын
I’d argue that this mostly applies to the 80s and 90s, when he was young and the most in touch with popular music as a consumer. From the 2000s to his final album, his track record got a little spotty. He always got the most undeniable targets (Backstreet Boys, Lady Gaga) but he also did a lot of parodies of songs that have been mostly forgotten to time. (Hot In Here is a big one that comes to mind.) His choices for polka medleys also started feeling more and more like they were just based on what was in the top 40, rather than anything he was actually interested as a listener, so there are a lot of forgotten songs in those as well.

This movie influenced me & my best friend in middle school so much that WE DID IT FOR REAL! Obviously we didn't own a UHF station but we took his dad's VHS camcorder and made a bunch of parody shows. His uncle worked at a local public access TV station and our silly shows were on the air! And our Star Trek parodies were good enough that we won regional TV awards & they were distributed to public access stations all over the Pacific NW. We accepted awards in Portland, Yakima, & Salt Lake City. We owed a lot to Weird Al & this movie for inspiring us. While other kids in school were doing drugs & getting drunk- we were producing TV spoofs. It was the best time in my youth.

I went to a screening of this that featured a Q&A with Weird Al and Jay Levey, it was a lot of fun. One of the best questions was from a kid, he asked about Anthony Geary 's role as Philo - 'the guy who played the alien.' Both Jay and Al said they were skeptical of him as first when the casting agent suggested him because he was a soap actor but he ended up being great and a lesson to both of them about judging people before getting to know them. Weird Al also answered some stuff about his music including a question about what his least favorite song was. He eventually figured out it was probably "Girls Just Want To Have Lunch" which he begrudgingly wrote after the label begged him to spoof Cyndi Lauper.

Re: Weird Al being a good guy, 25 years ago, some college classmates happened to secure time backstage with him to film hijinks for their cable access show. My friend did a lighthearted Q&A that Yankovic seemed born to take ("A *blank* a day keeps the doctor away." "A...a shot of B12"). The other one, though, made Al recite lines from a script he'd written for a "film" that would never get off a camcorder. It dragged on and on as the kid kept feeding lines. Yankovic played along. The whole time. Waited until the ordeal was done, not a single negative expression. Thanked the kid and resumed being Weird Al.

Ya, I was surprised they didn't mention that in the video. Usually they tend to know the obscure stuff. I heard Weird Al mention this once somewhere a while ago. Maybe on the commentary when the DVD came out- i dont remember. This would explain a bit my feeling after this latest rewatch that Micheal Richards- while yes doing his schtick- is playing Goofy in the movie.

I got to meet Weird Al in Atlanta for a meet and greet thing. I only got to say about a paragraph to him before I left, but for those 30 seconds, he listened to me with a smile on his face as I told him how much of a musical inspiration he's been for me. They say to never meet your heroes, but if Al is one of them, you should definitely try to if you get the opportunity.

I met him once at an event in Minnesota when I was a kid, back in the 90s when he still had the glasses and mustache. I'll never forget what he said to me, it was so inspirational: "Excuse me, I have to get by." I'd like to think he'd appreciate that.

Something non-musicians rarely realize about Weird Al: He's actually a really, *really* good instrumentalist, musician and composer. His "Genius in France" is a Zappa-parody... being able to *play* music like Zappa's takes *serious* chops! A good number of the greatest drummers (and guitarists, percussionists, keyboardists) became that good and prolific among other things through being part of Zappa's bands. So - being able to play it: Serious chops! But writing an homage track that actually matches Zappa's own music in terms of inventiveness, complexity, virtuosity, fun and many other dimensions.... I didn't think it could be done, and it hasn't been done nearly this well before or since.
