"Weird Al" Yankovic

[Siawash]

Anyone hear his parody of Chamillionaire song?

 

[Hyun]

I have no idea what you're talking about but I figured Weird Al was working on some scheme (e.g. not doing ANYTHING) to reclaim whatever normal reputation he had (or not), guess NOT.

 

[Siawash]

Haha, yeah.


Heres the youtube link:

Brilliant!

The song is fuckin' hillarious. I've gotta watch the video.

 

[Parra Power]

One of his better ones IMO. There are a lot that I don't like at all.

 

[Siawash]

He's made another song making fun of Green Day's "American Idiot"

[Help?]

i posted the lyrics to that song about a month ago in the What You Listening thread.

His parodies suck. Take a known song, change the original lyrics with some stupid stuff you can come up with in 10 seconds and make a crappy video, haha, yeah, that kicks ass!

I got his album a couple of weeks ago, I like "Polkarama!", "Confessions Part 3" and "Trapped in the Drive-Thru" (of R. Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet")

"Why did you have to go and make me so constipated!"



Though nothing even compares to the Ebay song. Brilliant

Amish Paradise, one of my personal favorites.

This one is good too

 

[JuventusForever]

Hilarious clip.. I also liked "What if god smoked cannabis".

alright, you do it then and we'll see how great it will be

 

[Hyun]

weird al may be an embarassment to his family but nird is something more than that, something on the level of an asshat.

come on now, if you're going to condemn something like weird al over here, you've got to come up with a more incomprehensible/overly complex argument like "weird al sold out" or "his music isn't avant garde" instead of just saying OMGH VOTE DEDUST NOW. nird, I thought you were better than that, now you'll never be that SONIC YOUTH generation type of guy who sips coffee in the morning and goes anal over iggy pop all day.

Try it, you'll be a millionaire in no time.

Amish Paradise was better than the original.

 

[d3adly]

amish paradise is the best.

I stopped liking Weird Al in about 1996. My guess is that this is because I turned 13 in 1996 and finally developed a real sense of humor. Weird Al guys? Come on.

 

[John 5]

Found "Like a surgeon" a good one too.
