We are all at the whims of weird al. Never anger him.

All of these actions sound entirely in character

That was sure nice of Al, I love it when professionals can cut each other a break

Seems like Speilberg alright

That’s the greatest thing I heard in a while and it makes this music video 6.74 times better.

I've seen Al sing this in concert and trust me, he can sing!!!

I’m glad I’m not the only person to notice - stunning! 😄

Vocoder pedals were around since the 1970’s or so, weren’t they? Autotune is not the first of its kind.

​@@aycc-nbh7289 correct, pitch correction has been around for a very long time and pretty much all vocalists have it done on recorded songs at some point or another

Believe me... I have heard longer notes held by people who do live musical theater, but tha doesnt mean Weird Al is a bad musician/singer... FAR FROM IT! He is definitely someone who can more than likely carry a long note like a broadway actor, after all he's a musician with a butt ton of energy and that requires some lung power to even hit notes like that!

Is this true

@@isobel9195 Yes!

Kurt Cobain called Al a musical genius and loved his cover. I agree. Been a fan for like 25 years.

He’s been with his band for a long time

@@resplndnt For EVER!

Oh yeah. Doing a workable parody of a song that was voted the "worst song ever made"? And having it actually turn out as one of his best songs? (I mean, that's a long list, but still.) Yeah. Genius.

I don't know why McArthur Park was voted one of the worst songs ever made. Sure some of the lyrics are either kind of corny or silly, but it's a hell of a lot more creative than 90% of pop music today.

It was voted down because people thought; 1. It was too long 2. An actor can't be a singer (natch).

Hellwyck Ironically there are a number of singers who try to act.

What about Adam Sandler or will Smith

I always thought motion capture was the creepiest.

I mean have you seen Mars Needs Moms?

***** Clay motion is stop motion that uses models made from a clay like material or actual clay.

+Triple Triculmite I don't see the problem with that.

from the look of the models, i'd say (though i can't confirm this just yet) that this was animated By Vinton.

… even better than the original! 👍

Funny you mention that, I just finished watching the "I Love You, You Hate Me" documentary on Peacock, which is pretty much the whole history of Barney and how GenXers made hating Barney a trend.

@@danielaldana818 I saw that documentary, and it pretty much misses the point that most of the GenXers who did this were only doing this for the purpose of satire and would not hurt anyone involved with Barney or his show.

Al would play this video during his concerts while making a costume change (into the Fat suit, as I recall). There would be a tremendous roar of approval from the audience when Barney got his stupid purple head bitten off.

Ah yes energieser dino

That's called god

I thought the hand will set the gate on fire

Handsaurus

It probably just actually went out and the crew was like "hey wouldn't it be funny if we relit it in camera?"

Thats just god..

Well, it is from the film.

I’m afraid those things will harm me because they sure don’t act like Barney

@@Scottwilkie18 and they think I'm their dinner, not their friend

I'm a lawyer and I thought it was hilarious.

“Jurassic park is frightening in the dark”

Have you listened to Al's tribute to Zappa, Genius in France?

YES - all of the sudden, I’ll remember 2 lines of this song for no real reason - I’m glad I’m not the only one! 😄

He didn't write the tune, it's a parody of "MacArthur Park". The original has the same arrangement and breakdown you're talking about. But yes "Genius in France" is an original pastiche of Zappa

@@theheathbar123 Oh, yea, I learned about MacArthur Park eventually. I definitely hadn't heard that song in the 5th grade, when I was rocking this cassette! "Dare To Be Stupid" is another pastiche of Oh No-era DEVO that's pretty right on.

I get lots of Weird Al songs playing in my head for days. Today it’s I’m going to the Hardware Store.

wth no seriously wth

Seriously, just listen to the original which is called MacArthur Park. It's by far one of the most bizarre sounding songs i've ever heard.

@@justinmiddleton8818 wait so thats what its called

Yes, and sung by Richard Harris aka Prof. Dumbledore in the first two Harry Potter films. Here's the original kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qapdrbeozpnDd4k.html&app=desktop

LOL... no... it's about a failed relationship the writer, Jimmy Webb had. He stated, "I've also tried to tell the truth, which is that it's just a song about a girlfriend of mine, Susie Horton, and this place on Wilshire Boulevard where we used to have lunch, which is called MacArthur Park. And the truth is that everything in the song was visible. There's nothing in it that's fabricated. The old men playing checkers by the trees, the cake that was left out in the rain, all of the things that are talked about in the song are things I actually saw. And so it's a kind of musical collage of this whole love affair that kind of went down in MacArthur Park". But your interpretation is hysterical.

Shark Man X bro! It would be weird

Agreed.

Then someone else would have to have voiced Dollmam in a Batman cartoon😘😘😘

@@Awestefeld6612 or Milo Murphy?

@@thehunterator520 what?

Was this done by Aardman (Wallace and Gromit/Shawn the Sheep/Chicken Run)?

@@jamescopeland6107 It looks kinda like it was done by whoever did the California Raisins, but I'm not sure.

@@Zarnirox its will vinton

The post-swallow breakdown is the highlight for sure

It's a (stomach) acid trip.

Yeah, thankfully it being animated means that the scenes can all be done simultaneously as opposed to having to do it linearly.

Klay-Kremling hah you posted that 2 months ago

Another fun fact: this song was an Easter egg for a brief moment during the seen that involved a radio. Another song that was an Easter egg in that scene was the 1987 duck tales theme song.

Don't mean to rain on your fun fact parade, dear, but you positive that wasn't just a joke from Nostalgia Critic? Could'a sworn he did something like that for his Lost World review... Eh, maybe it was just a fever dream, wouldn't be the first time...

The reason they finished so quick is because they slept in shifts.

Is the original mcarthur park a metaphor for something? Because the part about never having that recipe again never made sense to me

@@resplndnt yes it is! It's about loosing the love of one's life that never fully was, to neglect, immaturity, and circumstances out of one's control. An epic tragedy in the context of this song!

@@resplndnt the song has deeper undertones too, as the writer had not only lost his lover but also his mother who had been almost his sole support as a budding songwriter. And it is about societal loss and change, as the actual MacArthur Park in Los Angeles where this songs theme had actually taken place for the songwriter, which had been beautiful only a few years before, back when they were still seeing each other, had recently started to go rapedly downhill and become dangerous, along with the surounding neighborhoods.

+Justin Middleton: Jimmy Webb, the writer of "MacArthur Park," approved of the parody in hopes that it would finally kill off the original.

@@JKTube yes, and of course that didn't exactly happen... But Jimmy has finally come to fully, if reluctantly, embrace the profound and beautiful but very sad meanings of the song. He has said that MacArthur Park was very prophetic for him, if partly self fulfilling prophecy including some things that he came to deeply regret in time. But it is life and it was and still is very real to him!

I looked up the original song and it is BIZARRE! Seriously, google McArthur Park, it's actually weirder than Weird Al's parody.

Brian Fowler someone left a cake out in the rain, and a dinosaur ate it.

@@BauthorFowler The original was sung by Richard Harris, aka Dumbledore.

And claymation? Perfection.🤩

@Brian Fowler I know the cake melting in the rain is supposed to be a metaphor for a lost love but it's still goofy as hell.

A hell of a trifecta.

+B-Dawg The Shiny Zorua hi

Well... The cast of kids changes every season, so if Barney did wear a shock collar, it didn't work very well.

He's probably given experimental mind-melding drugs to keep him from eating them.

False. They did everything they could to coax him to eat them, and he still couldn't be cajoled to do so until the end of each season, persuaded by the threat they'd bring the same kids back if he didn't eat them.

Yes we can

He knows his strengths, and always plays into them. This song is great.

Nicole Tracy if you were stepped on by a Brachiosaurus, you wouldn't even survive. So... that's where you went wrong

deponds on where you were stepped on, if you got hit in the legs it wouldn't be that 'bad'

Jeff Jeff but if you WERE paralyzed you could die from your lower organs failing.

Nicole Tracy And, ON TOP OF THE HORRENDOUS INJURIES in Jurrassic Park 2, Geoff Goldblum was the protagonist, so thats another strike against it!

In an old fan Q&A from the 90s, someone asked Weird Al what books he'd been reading lately and he said Jurassic Park. Awesome

He will forever be the most unique individual ever

thanx for the info! i was always baffled @ those lyrics

i just noticed that line and the only E ticked i know stands for electronic and i know that sure is not what he meant.

I had a vague knowledge that an E-ticket meant something pretty good and ritzy, but I didn't really know the backstory behind the definition. Thanks for teaching an '81 kid.

and from barney lovers

And maybe from the palaeontology community because, y’know, inaccuracies.

Now 1.8k dislikes from them lawyers

I don't get why...I mean Al admitted they must not all be that bad.

Including she hulk

He left two different T-Rex Stomachs. Which one were you counting? The one with the shirt seller, or the one that eats the helicopter?

didn he get squished as well

He IS basically a god here.

He's like: "wait what am i doing banging on his door? I can just use a key!"

It was also great in the original, when the velociraptor was on top of the stainless food-prep counter, and tapped his claw while he was figuring out where lunch was hiding.
