"Weird Al" Yankovic - I Lost on Jeopardy (2022 version) - excerpt

- I re-recorded a bunch of my old songs for use in the Roku Channel biopic (WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story), and this is the one that got left on the cutting room floor. I didn't record the whole song, just one chorus - the reason being that we only needed a couple seconds of it for the movie. It was originally going to be used in the drunk driving scene, where Weird Al (Daniel Radcliffe) is repeatedly changing the channels on his car radio (and all the songs are Weird Al songs). Eric Appel (the director) and I ultimately decided that we didn't need to include this song, because we hadn't introduced it previously in the movie, and also because it would have cost us several thousand dollars extra in licensing fees. But since my band and I went through all the trouble of recording this 22-second masterpiece, we figured SOMEBODY should hear it!
Oh, and BTW, if you want to hear all the stuff that actually DID make the movie, check out the soundtrack album: tinyurl.com/5errr2dr
UPDATE/CLARIFICATION: For the people confused about the “licensing fees” part - I don’t own the publishing on my parody songs, the songwriters of the originals do. And basically, they can charge whatever they want to charge when the song is used in TV shows and movies. Nirvana’s publisher quoted a 6-figure price for us to use “Smells Like Nirvana” in the movie - which is why it is not in the movie. Greg Kihn’s quote was actually quite reasonable - but we were a relatively low-budget production, and every penny counted! One of the reasons why we re-recorded my old tracks was so that I could own the master recordings (y'know, like Taylor!) So I saved some money by not having to pay my old record label for master usage, but I still have to pay the publishing fees for the actual songs, which are sometimes prohibitive. Make sense? - Комедії
for years and years of my life i was under the assumption that both the parody and real song of this had the same lyrics which was a really fun means of existing
Same, it was weird to find out they were actually different...
Of what is I lost on Jeopardy a parody of?
@@VSDeluxe Greg Kihn Band - Jeopardy (The chorus goes "Our love's in Jeopardy") ua-cam.com/video/43_GqFW7iYc/v-deo.html
@@needscheeseis curious because the chorus of the original sounds like Evil ways by Santana
this isnt a parody
After all these years this is the closest we’ve seen Weird Al re-record I Lost on Jeopardy. I’m surprised he never updated the lyrics to include Alex Trebek when that became the more popular version.
Weird Al did actually appear on Jeopardy!. Art Fleming was the host at the time.
@@clintonwilcox4690 He was never on the Art Fleming Jeopardy!, however he was on Rock and Roll Jeopardy, which aired from 1998 to 2001.
@@clintonwilcox4690 think you replied to the wrong comment.
I actually kinda like that it's an older host. It somehow makes it feel more timeless to me that it's never been the host I "knew"
Love the memories of my grandpa and I listening to Weird AL. Thank you for everything
Thanks a great big pantload for that. I didn't think i was _that_ fucking old.
@@Drchainsaw77 Yep hard to believe we are.👍
@@Drchainsaw77 If it helps, Eat It came out while I was in High School
I was *not* expecting a 2022 remaster of this classic!! Super excited to hear the full thing!
EDIT: The description was blank when I initially commented this.
I hate to burst your bubble, but you should probably read the caption...
Unfortunately, the description says he never re-recorded the whole thing, just this small clip, but decided it shouldn't get unheard because it was cut from the movie
He should do a full album of more remasters
You won't!
First of all, it's a new recording, not a remaster. Secondly, you're not gonna hear the full song.
I wish more artists would re-record their old songs more often. It can be especially cool to hear an artist who has improved their talents over the years (and improvements in recording technology). We effectively get to hear new versions of old songs in concert, so why not on recording? Thank you Al for these new versions!
I agree, I love hearing these songs redone in studio quality
Except ace of base. Linn Berggren kinda lost her singing voice from doing lots of vocal lessons
Original sounds better
@@jasontheredfox Like NSP's album Level Up
@@justsayin._. Smartest name ever
I was sad the biopic had no 100% original Weird Al compositions played in it - except Eat It, which of course was entirely his song.
"Now You Know" isn't a parody, is it?
Actually! Eat it is a parody of Michael Jackson's song, Beat It.
@@imded_Roblox common misconception; Eat It actually came first, and Beat It is the parody.
@@beesokay Beat It came out in 1982 while Eat It came out in 1984.
@@imded_RobloxI think you’re getting the dates mixed up.
The new recordings of some of the older songs were easily the absolute best part of the movie in my opinion. Keep up the great work, Al! 😁
I disagree whole heartedly. The originals are far superior. These just don't have the same heart as his original versions and sound way too processed.
@@englishatheart And I respect your opinion on them. I do like the originals as well.
How is this 23 second clip and the description for it making me laugh my butt off? Why is this man such a dang genius
Because he's WEIRD AL YANKOVIC! THAT'S WHY!
There were no jokes in the video, but you have well-founded confidence that there's going to be good new jokes not in the original.
@@ConspiracyNuts Read the description. As I said the clip coupled with the description is what made me laugh.
Sad this Masterpiece didn't get complete
R.I.P Weird Al
I cried when I watched Maddona’s Drug Cartel kill him on live tv back in 85’ 😭
I heard this rough demo he was working on in 1984 called White & Nerdy. Like Eat it, it was another original..it had so much potential being one of the biggest hits he could’ve ever had. Way ahead of his time.
He isnt died. Movie was just a joke
@@pooooo52 and you completely missed their jokes
@@pauleastwood2653 heard someone named “camilionnare” stole it or something
Weird Al is the only person who has never uploaded a bad video
But I'm sure he uploaded a video for Fat.
@@nerfherder8812 touche
@@nerfherder8812 That's not bad, it's even worse.
@@tr4l1975 that would not happen in an amish paradise
@@nerfherder8812 Fat is pretty mid but far from bad
RIP "Weird Al" Yankovic you will forever live in our hearts.
Keep up the great work Zombie "Weird Al" Yankovic. You are doing your predecessor justice.
More like a ghost, like "Large" Marge.
He didn't die bro
@@deadsparksgamingchannel That sound you just heard was the joke sailing over your head.
@@deadsparksgamingchannel clearly not a Weird Al fan.
@@Sal_Sal27 I'm a huge weird al fan, that's how I know he didn't die
How many of Weird Al’s songs are remembered better than the original songs they were parodying? This is definitely one of them.
what was teh original im too lasy to googl
@@parsnipguy2986 Jeopardy was the song name.
Sometime it goes far, I saw "fat" before "bad" and the harm was done, even if the stereo play "bad" my brain hear "fat" 😁
I must admit I was kinda hoping for a full re-recording with updated lyrics in tribute to the Alex Trebek era (RIP)!
The category is "Things that we'd love to have but probably won't happen, but we got a Weird Al biopic, so there's a chance".
What is "an updated 'I Lost On Jeopardy' video with Will Ferrell as Alex Trebek"?
Happy 64th birthday, sir. Thank you for all the smiles you've put on millions of faces all over the world.
I've been your fan since 2005, thanks for making my life so happy here in Brazil.
come to brazil
I would LOVE a full version of this
I'm just here for Weird Al trying to explain the intricacies of intellectual property law by citing Taylor Swift, knowing that's how most of the public now understands the concept of a master recording.
you don't have to get permission to write a parody of a song.
@@danieladams4001 Read the description on the video. It's not about permission to record a parody. It's about permission to use the master recording of a parody. Weird Al, like Taylor Swift, does not own the master recordings of many of his songs. But if he re-records them, then he owns the new masters. LegalEagle does a nice job of explaining the legal part of this conundrum. ua-cam.com/video/M-A_RrOeoWw/v-deo.html
@@danieladams4001 No you don't...IF you don't intend on making money from it
However, Al makes sure he has permission (and a royalties contract) before he releases a song for purchase (Coolio being the one exception, but in that case he was told Coolio gave the go-ahead)
as a kid growing up was blown away by the way he would rework songs, TY Al for some of the best moments in choir growing up because of your inspiration :D
Thanks for the explanation, Al. That's really interesting stuff!
*_Thank you for my NEW RINGTONE, Al!_*
My dad showed me the music u make and a DVD with a bunch of your songs.i love ur music keep it up. It's all good work
A classic 👏
Fly high Weird Al 🕊 RIP
he isnt dead...
@@BlameGinger101 yeah, he's a zombie, FrogOnAJog, duh!
@@BlameGinger101 he got assasinated by madonna!! remember?? (its from his "totally real😉" biopic)
Too bad Madonna had to shoot him because that was totally real and definitely happened
@@MetalJuggalo Most definitely
I'm so pumped to hear this remaster. One of my many favorites
I know I'm not the only one when I say that I would love for there to be a full remake of I Lost on Jeopardy. I know it might not happen, but I am at least glad these 22 seconds of it exist.
Perfect timing for an Alex Trebek tribute.
When ever Al posts it makes my day!
Believe it or not, but this is my favorite Weird Al song. I would absolutely love to hear the whole thing updated for the modern era as a tribute to Alex Trebek and the new popularity the show has achieved over the years.
I love this song, so glad to see it getting remastered
I appreciate you sharing this with the rest of us. Your movie is absolutely perfect, by the way - without a doubt the most satisfying comedy I have ever seen 💜
Al, you will be missed. Your memories shall stay ingrained in our hearts for generations
THIS IS SO GOOD OH WHAT WE COULD HAVE HAD!!!
My dude lost jeopardy 💀
Loved your movie, was one of the most greatest origin story films I've ever seen
All never fails to make great music 😂
Agreed
For a second I almost thought this was a promo for a complete re-release of I Lost on Jeopardy complete with a new host name inserted
The best 22 seconds of my life!
this is heavenly 😭😭
Thanks for the explanation in the description. It's fascinating how all of that works.
These are the like lobster cream puffs of deleted scenes that bring me joy!
One of my fav songs. This is very good news
I would KILL for a full version of this, i lost on jeopardy is an underrated classic in my opinion
I did see you live yesterday (the band) on Circus, tnx for the show, and ,more. Hugs ro you all //
I lost on Jeopardy what a classic
Always a favorite!
Thank you for this
love your songs!!
Thanks for posting!
Nice, I bought many of your older albums for Christmas this year. Nothing like Yankovic bringing in some holiday cheer and merriment.
My life is now complete
This is amazing!!
The description is worth the read
Sounds Amazing! Keep up the great work!
Its kinda nice that whoever is managing his estate is still releasing stuff from the Weird Al vault.
Thank you for everything, Al. Forever an icon 💯❤️
Thanks for sharing Al!
Ohhhh this is wonderful!!! I love this so much!!!
Whoa, thanks for the additional explanation, that makes a lot of sense, I just hadn't considered it. I was slightly disappointed that Smells Like Teen Spirit wasn't in the movie, so this makes me feel better now lol
I love this so much! 🤩
Making me think this was a full music video recreation!
I remember reading somewhere (or maybe hearing about it on the Inside Jeopardy! podcast or something) that a snippet of the song was supposed to be in the film and was perplexed by its absence. Thanks for clearing that up, Al.
Thanks for sharing it Al.
I would have killed for a full version of this, I love it!
thank you for your music weird al yankovic:) it made my childhood!
Grew up in the 80s adoring and loving your music. Every song of yours brings me back to an amazing moment in the 80s. Love ya man!... platonically of course
Awesome. Thank you mr.king of music
Sounds great. Loved the movie.
Thanks for sharing, Al! ❤
Babe wake up weird al posted
A true masterpiece
Omg now I want a full version so badly
We lost on Jeopardy, but we won Weird Al!
Losing never has been so groovy.
the completely unnecessary explanation is much appreciated, and so you! thank you.
Sounds really good!
Wishing you'd have won/lost/whatever on Celebrity Jeopardy this year, oh well, maybe in the future!
This is a great one!!
I lost on jeopardy is one of my favorites of his songs
That licensing fee's bit, made about as much sense as muddy water.
But I understand that's the "cost" of doing business & appreciate you trying to explain it.
"y'know, like Taylor!" bless you Al, I was thinking of exactly that
Sounds really smooth Al!
Awesome!!!! Loved this tune since the 90's :D
Mr Y, thank you for explaining the licensing fees.
never clicked anything faster in my life
Legends say that when Weird Al posts on UA-cam, one can hear the great choir from above.
I refuse to believe al was serious for a moment and acting like an adult
Yes. It makes sense. Thank you.
2nd greatest 22 seconds of my life. RIP Weird Al.
best release of 2022
I like that Al wrote the description, showing that he uploaded this because he wanted to share it, not because some shareholder thought it was a way to squeeze more ad revenue.
I mean, that's probably what happened, right?
So awesome to get new stuff from this artist even after his tragic death, if you haven't seen his biopic please do so, beautiful story
It's amazing all the original recordings he made that were released after his death (and all the rat bastards like Nirvana and Chamillionaire making parodies of his work!)
So crisp!
I just realized you would a perfect host for jeopardy
This version sounds like the victory theme in a fighting game, ironically enough considering the title.
Oh it sounds so crispy!
AL IS BACK
Thanks for explaining the licensing fees.
I love that clavichord.
This is freaking awesome. I'm sorry, what is- this is freaking awesome.
Woah nice!
we need this song
