Sometimes i forget that Al gets personal approval for all of his covers and parodies, and thus anyone who gets covered by him likely has at least a kernal of the goofy fun in his heart in theirs too. I forgot how earnest and silly a lot of music videos can be.
@@Bredstikc He didn't need Disney's approval at all. He and the songwriter (Lin-Manuel Miranda, of "Hamilton" fame) have apparently been friends for several years (see the Rolling Stone article about it from when "Hamilton Polka" was released), so apparently it was pretty quick
@@Oldiesmann Hell, due to them being parody he legally doesn't have to do it most of the time so long as it's attributed properly. He just personally sees an obligation to because it feels wrong to tell a joke without making sure the artist is in on the joke.
There was an old interview where Al said that Lorde immediately said yes to his parody cause she grew up listening to his music. There is a chance that the same happened with Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Lil Nas X, etc.
On an interview Weird Al actually said that before he got animators for his music videos, he used to do this exact same thing with every polka medley he made, composing all the original music videos together and speeding them up to match his singing
Part of the appeal of the old AL-TV remixes was this gag so it makes me sad that so many videos in this mix had little/zero lipsyncing. different generation tho
Okay im confused. Did he ask Lin if he could use we dont talk abt bruno bc idk how this stuff works lol edit: Nvm i had to read further to get my answer

If you’re a musical artist and don’t want weird al to parody your song, there’s something very wrong with you
Now I know why it took so long for this one, getting approval from Disney for "We don't talk about Bruno" must've been awful.

I’d be fine if every celebrity was replaced with Weird Al
W comment
This would be better
This need to be it
Yup
What what r u talking about the only celeb is werid al
Ya know, seeing Billie Eilish dance like that to Al's version fits oddly well.
LMAO YEAH

2:25 Ed running while that "Yodeleeeoo" plays is goofy
BRO, Al's voice and Taylor's lips
They're so in sync
💀💀💀💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@radicalrock1800 Idk why, but those felt more normal than this
The first hum makes it so hilarious lol
this the AL-TV version i love this
i wont accept art to be replaced by AI , but i would accept to replace music with weird Al
I see what you did there, and I approve.
2:38 LOLLL I LOVE HOW THE SONG DOESNT FIT
Pun intended?
It fits too well imo
Looks goofy af
Frankly including WAP is the biggest polka shock since The Alternative Polka had "Closer"
It's funny Weird Al's version fits better with Billie Illish's music video.
didnt realize how silly her video truly was. i only ever saw that edgy album art
That's the good 2006 youtube stuff
@@SparrowIZshut the hell up
Lmao, Ed running made me cackle 2:25
Yodalayeeehooooo
He called Ed SheeRAN for a reason
I saw a 'Polkamaina with original audio' the next day. Glad I finally found the other side of the coin.
Thanks for the vid. The King is back!
Wierd Al speaking Spanish is something this world was not ment to see
Spanish Doesn't Feel Wrong. It's The Possibility That At Some Point We Might Hear Him Sing Japanese Is What We Aren't Meant To See.
@@mjb20077your onto something 😳
@ mjb20077 He made a Japanese version of Jurassic Park and sung it live too
@@coconutcrew99 Why Did You Have To Inform Me That Exists My Ears Weren't Ready
1:19 this and its transition was amazing
had no idea Billy Eilish had the whole bursting through yellow in her music vid before polkamania
1:25 that’s just ridiculously amazing polka
That part was just amazing lol
Very good work with the actual music videos! I wondered what it would be like with the real music videos with the polka song. :)
1:19 My favorite part.
2:37 My other favorite part.
1:46 I am going to perish.
Ol’ chum from the hit movie megamind vs the doom syndicate
Yes
Time traveler: *Moves chair*
The timeline:
Wow this is amazing
“Hello” was the song of my childhood. I never Thought I would hear Weird Al Sing a Disney song. WTH was the Bad Guy music video?
It turned out to be much funnier than in the original animation)
Thanks you for this, idk why but I like it
Why is everyone doing everything sped up so uncanny
because Wierd Al's cover is at a higher speed than the original, so the original music videos need to be sped up to match the cover
he sang too fast
@@harrynoodlemeyer4450 i think he sang too slow
I can’t believe i had to wait almost a week to get the version made with the OG music videos
Amazing
This would be better if this was this
Great job as usual
69K views? 💀💀
Thia is fire 🔥🔥🔥
It would be funny if wierd al re did the music videos like his other parodys like "perform this way"
THE ED SHEERAN RUNNING
Billie Eilish stumbling to the opening is a whole different mood lol
THE ORIGINAL VIDEOS LOOKS SO GOOFY WITH WEIRD AL LMAOO 🤣🤣
2:23 white people when you tell them there is coleslaw at the function
Weird Al Live action:
Hearing als voice over Taylor swift is so funny
honestly surprised that a Rickroll didnt happen
If this was this actually
if it was
That was quick
Really well done!
Vampire was the funniest
this isn't nothing much but excellent work!
im pretty sure wap stands for weird als polka
Okay im confused. Did he ask Lin if he could use we dont talk abt bruno bc idk how this stuff works lol
edit: Nvm i had to read further to get my answer
Whatcha Gonna Do?
When they come for you
good stuff
Agree.
2:29
Saturday Night, and we're on the pot!
Don't believe me, just wipe that butt!
God I hate swift
okay just don’t harass other people for liking it like most swift haterw
I used to, but the catchiness kept piling. I hated her Reputation album but as the years went on I realized how necessary it was
