"Weird Al" Yankovic - Fat

Artist: "Weird Al" Yankovic
Genre: Comedy

I was gonna introduce this dude in April for the A to Z, but why wait till them to show you the genius that is Weird Al?

I don't think that anybody is quite as goo at song parodies as this guy is. He mimicks songs in a way that nobody else quite does, and he manages to make a good copy of the videos that go with them.

Like this one for instance. I'm pretty sure everybody has heard Michael Jackson's song Bad, but if you haven't seen the video I urge you to take a second to watch it so you can appreciate what Weird Al did.

This really is one of my favorites of his. And you're right: the video is what makes it. Anyone can do a song parody, but his video imitations are what put him over the top.

What I'm about

I am Noah, king of casual english; One of those bloggers that just doesn't know how to string a proper sentence together to save his life. I really apologize for those of you that will hate that, apparently my honors in english just didn't stick.

I like everything from Satanic Thrash to Top 40s trash, so I'll probably hit on at least one song that you like someday.

Let's be real though, my main pull is Death Metal and Rap, so you'll see a decent amount of that since those are the two industries I mainly follow.

Schedule and Stuff

The posts go live at 12 am EST. If they don't, I probably wrote them the night before and fell asleep before actually clicking on the publish button. It's all good though.

Music wise I mostly pull from what I like. I'm totally open to suggestions in the comments, so if there's some genre you want to hear more of just let me know and I'll do what I can.

Some of this music might be offensive to you. Apologies, but it'll probably happen. Heck, 6 or 7 years ago I'd probably be appalled at what I'm listening to nowadays, haha

I'll try to always tag for language if the song has it though, so you can at least make sure not to listen to if around younger ears if that's something that concerns you.
