That whole sequence is my favorite part of any music video ever, right from the very first moment I saw it. Al gargling water, the doofus in the background getting hit in the head with the ball, and the guy on fire nonchalantly walking into the frame. Absolute pinnacle of parody, the whole history of comedic acting distilled into a single scene.

Here's a fun fact. You can see it by watching both videos and it was said in an interview with Mr. Yankovic. He's using the exact same set... More so. The chearleaders, janitor, and audiance extras are made up of many of the exact same people from the original video. He didn't just make a parody. He mirrored the entire video and got just about the entire original crew to help him do it.

I love this parody, too. I makes me sad, though, that 80% of Al's songs are his amazing originals, and hardly anyone even knows about them. I was over the moon, though, to go to 3 of his originals only tours, and hear the crowd go crazyy for these incredible songs. His band is unbelievable!!!

@YourFather143 9 жыл бұрын

Why are people butthurt about Weird Al making fun of Nirvana? Quit being major fanboys. Weird Al personally asked Kurt if he could parody the song. No, the song wasn't created in 2009 like many people seem to think, that's simply an upload date because if you didn't know, KZfaq didn't exist in 1992 when this song was created, but you'd have to do the impossible task of reading the description to solve that mystery. Plus, you cant deny that Weird Al did a wonderful job of mocking the original song. I've known the original song since long before I heard Weird Al's version. Its been around 20 years yet I still cant decipher a word Kurt was saying. Weird Al portrayed that perfectly with "bargle nawdle zouss" as it doesn't get much closer to the original than that. For those who actually read all of that, here is a fish with no relevance. >
