"Weird Al" Yankovic - UHF

Artis:  "Weird Al" Yankovic
Song:  UHF
Album:  UHF:  "Weird Al" Yankovic
Genre:  Parody, Rock

I don't know if you've ever watched UHF, but if you haven't you really should.  The movie is absolutely amazing, and I really think it was a huge factor on some of my younger humor .

See, in my house we sang parody songs all the time.  That was a lot of joke songs flying around the house, and when I realized Weird Al existed it was a pretty amazing moment.  My brother and I used to have "Weird Al Parties" where we'd just sit in our room and mouth singing along with his stuff.  Sometimes we'd play Star Fox Assault's vs mode and try to make the actions of the game match up to the song.  Somehow at least, no clue why we tried to swing that.

A to Z 2K17 - W is for "Weird Al" Yankovic

Artist:  "Weird Al" Yankovic
Song:  I'll Sue Ya
Album:  Straight Outta Lynwood
Genre:  Parody

I feel like the last couple days have been a little darker in the tune department, so here's some nice fun music again.

Weird Al's been making bang up covers and parodies since the 80s, and I'll Sue Ya is no exception.  I feel like I say that for every one of his songs I post...  Anyway, this isn't a straight cover, more a song that was inspired by an artist.  He's done this many times in the past usually with great success.  This one is in the style of Rage Against The Machine, and if you watch the video you'll see a couple hints at that.  Mostly in Al's dreads and the guitarist clearly playing Tom Morello's guitar.

"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.
