- "Weird Al" Yankovic performing "Albuquerque" live at The Enmore Theatre, Sydney, Australia on March 15, 2023.
The legendary Weird Al returned to Australia in 2023 for his Ill-Advised Vanity Tour, playing a bunch of his lesser known tracks. It was brilliant. On the night I went, he just happened to close out his set with my favourite song of his - a 17 minute version of this track from the "Running with Scissors" album.

The Doughnut shop: Extended cut
He named 5 donut names on the song album
But on live that’s 25 donuts
About like 20 of them were berry flavored XD
SUPER extended cut
@@PrideEepy64he really just took whatever berry he could think of and added donut
@@dizzy_jump IT'S GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!
@@spriteguy777 ok
Weird Al belongs in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
No doubt. He's had a hugely long and successful career. A legend!
And he's the only one to be this successful from parodies!
I have good news
Forgot the R&R Hall of Fame: Not too far away is the Polka Hall of Fame, and he should get inducted to that at the same time.
He's too good for that shit hole.
When he did this live in Lancaster, he actually started the WHOLE concert over when he pretended to forget where he was. They played the entirety of Fun Zone and about half of the opener. It was the funniest thing ive ever seen in my life and i will never forget it.
That would have been amazing!
is there any video of it?😊
OMG YEA I REMEMBER THAT, funniest shit ever xD
Gotta love how he fits an apology to the hermaphrodite part instead of just removing it, and it doesn't even feel out of place
hearing the audience sing it back makes my heart happy
Al’s original intention with this song was to “annoy people for 12 minutes” basically “troll his fans”, as he said in a GQ interview. Instead, fans ended up loving the song, and it’s still one of his most popular songs to this day.
He's just too good of an artist. He could help but make good music.
I can't listen to this song without thinking about that guy from the animation
RWappin! They brought him back for the most recent polka medley!!
"Not Fry"
@@sven_bender Fry is his evil twin
@@ndrew_BHe was about to mail a letter to him when he got a nasty papercut. To make a long story short it got infected and he died.
@@ndrew_Bhahaha your a real one for that
He needs to perform this IN Albuquerque.
This man is 64 and still able to do this shit, that's impressive
he's _what_
@@youraveragerobloxkid Yep, he's a 64 year old man. I know I was shocked too, not sure what he's doing but it's workin
HE IS 64?!?!?!
@@CryingAutumn lol he looks 50 yro, and my dad is 50 yro, but looks 45 yro
@@arbrilliant191he has the energy of a new adult!
I saw Weird Al Yankovic on the 11th of March at Palas Theatre with my Dad and what’s cool-I got to meet him after the show since I got 13th row VIP tickets.
nice! Would have loved to have met him, but not this time!
@@AdamTurnerDrums
He signed my book and poster for me. I even got a photo with him and I gave him one of my drawings.
@@zekecasperanddeadpoolzgroovyst so cool! Al Is the best :)
@@tomnook15
I know right? He even told me when I asked him what Alice Cooper and the late great Leslie Nielsen are like? He said Alice is awesome and everytime he sees Leslie he brings his fart machine.
my 7th grade science teacher used to eat lunch with weird al. they happened to both go to the same mexican restaurant. he said weird al was one of the nicest people he ever met, never forget the memory of him showing us a photo of him with al.
I forgot how aggressive Weird Al's voice sounds compared to what he sounds like back then.
certainly a profile picture
His voice honestly got higher, like a cartoon character
i seriously didnt expect the “AAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL BUQUERQUE” to sound even better than in the original
Hilarious that he stops to address the hermaphrodite part, but doesn't remove it and keeps going after. Tackling it with grace!
For those wondering, there is 24,126,315,789,473,684,210,526,315 molecule in Mr Nimoy's butt
You're off by 3
@@eyalinbar4845 nope
It's Al that said 24,126,315,789,473,684,210,526,312 or 24,126,315,789,473,684,210,526,318 (you'll have to ask him which one :D)
the number is going to decrease daily
@@Awelbeckk what does AI know? Putting too much confidence in a chat bot that just regurgitate information whether it's true or not. Also that's off by 3
@@Omegaset ... Al. Not ai. The artist.
If it's possible, we want Weird Al to release a single that's just an extended version of Albuquerque that basically combines every single version of Albuquerque into one ultimate version.
certainly a profile picture
@@i_wateraaaaa wee-haw
@@i_wateraaaaawhat's up with their pfp?
@@Not_Tails Just complementing it in a same way to an earlier comment
the Bohemian Rhapsody of comedy music
Weird Al has mastered the art of taking a long insane song and making the live version even more of all of that
Weird Al could just make a song about how his day went yesterday and I would still listen to that shit
Because it would go hard as FUCK
He did! It's called Albuquerque
What a legend. This song came out when I was a kid and Weird Al was one of the only mainstream artists my parents would let me listen to, so of course I played the shit out of this song and committed the entire ramble to memory. Saw him during the Unfortunate Return tour a couple years ago, glad to see he's still pushing it and doing all the deep cuts (while I love the parodies, I love his originals even more). I was curious if he would change the "hermaphrodite" part, but he found a perfect way to make it even better, lol. Again, what a legend. Thanks for posting this!
No worries. He's been amazing every time he's toured. This tour had so many deep cuts. Was great!
Weird Al is the only one to stop his song to apologize to an outdated joke 🪑🪑🪑🪑
Hermaphrodite. Cancel me
its not outdated though
@@FinnMcCoolOfficialit is a little
@@dukedragon28 right, we call it a birth defect now.
@FinnMcCoolOfficial The appropriate term these days is "intersex" but what is and isn't an offensive term changes as the people who want to be jerks about it inevitably appropriate the politically correct jargon and turn that into the new slur. "Homosexual" used to be the polite way to say it and now it's a term mostly used by homophobes who don't want to use the F word.
With these things you sometimes need to look more at the intent than the specific words used, the word "boy" used to be incredibly racist until it just became the word used to describe male children so
I swear to god I almost fainted at the sound of "bear claws"
To be fair, 'hermaphrodite' is a technical term, as some species of plants and even a couple of animals are capable of having both what we call 'male' and 'female' reproductive organs.
It's just that through history it's also been used over history, mostly in politics, to degrade people who the speaker doesn't like, or don't conform to the most common societal expectations of masculinity and femininity.
It's in much the same way the word 'retard' became a slur synonymous with the mentally-disabled because it was, essentially being a fancier and more specific word for 'slow', seen as a more polite term instead of outright saying 'slow', with that original context eventually lost as the old word fell out of more common use and kids grew up only with the new word.
Though you still occasionally see things like 'retardant' on clothes and certain firefighting equipment because that's primarily what it's for, slowing the inflammation of objects and clothing.
Though generally 'hermaphrodite' still has uses in other places and circles and is used for its actual definition of being something with both types of reproductive parts rather than approximating it to being about trans people, so whether you consider it a slur or not is more a matter of opinion than stated fact. Generally you aren't going to find people using it as a slur unless they KNOW you're the type of person that'll get bent out of shape about it.
I learned a lot today
there's a phenomenon related to this, the euphemism treadmill. it's where a term becomes "offensive", and a new term is used as a substitute, which in turn becomes "offensive", and the cycle continues.
@@prageruwu69 I figured there'd be a term for it, so yeah that checks out.
nowadays the word hermaphrodite is mostly used in a more scientific context. instead of calling someone hermaphroditic, we say intersex instead.
i thought he was never gonna run out of berries lol
some of these donuts I had no idea existed
14:40 "I just remembered the end of the song..."
hi tcyw
@@therealsminor hai sminor
oh god i cant escape it can i
trapped in jerry's bait shop
You know the place.

Al got off light. I bet the guy who got that last dingle-berry donut, wished he ordered the weasels.
One of my favorite bits (that might not be intentional) in the doughnut shop bit is that he gets in his car to go to the shop…
He came here on a plane that crashed…
Who’s car did he take???
That's hilarious. I've never thought about that before, and that makes it even better.
@@princessCashel like I said: it’s absolutely plausible that he just made a small mistake, but even if not, that makes it so much funnier. I picture him just Grand Theft Auto-Ing someone out of their car 😭
@@loganchitty And being completely oblivious while doing so.
yeah he definitely stole someones car and called it his lmao
Maybe it was Zelda’s beforehand, and she was looking for it, and THAT’S how she met Al!
I like that at the start it sounds like there's a song then al just starts ranting
that's albuquerque!
3:45 Good on Al to acknowledge that this song has not aged particularly gracefully in some aspects
...but STILL make it funny!
he really is the most wholesome man alive
im sure there is gonna be someone out there who is gonna be mad about it.
complain about "woke culture" and shit.
@@bitterjames ironically the only one complaining about it is you
@@Armadill0h complaining about what?
are you illiterate?
Bermuda Schwartz, Jim West, and Steve Jay were very much troopers for this performance, successfully following his every ad-lib, re-arrangements, etc.
donut section starts at 5:46
I love how every time Weird Al points at someone in the audio, they scream
donuts does not feel like a word anymore
do you have any lactic acid
@@redmask1252 im sorry what does lactic acid have to do with this i missed the joke
@@zephyratkins-mitra8223 i thought you said donuts doesn’t feel like a word
@@redmask1252 ya but why lactic acid
@@redmask1252no we’re all out of lactic acid
Weird Al now having a really aggressive voice, along with the over-the-top motions, make this already amazing song ten times better.
6:30 bro started reading the whole menu
someone should make a 17 hour version of this
Oh dear god no
"Jerry's bait shop.."
(Woo!)
Jerry was happy.
That was awesome!!! That was so funny, the restart when he "Forgot" the ending. 😂
Man, I would have loved to have seen Al and the late Frank Zappa perform on the same show! 🤩
Those weasels would really rip! ARF!
Way back when I was just an itty-bitty boy living in a box under the stairs in the corner of the basement from the house half the block down the street from Joe's garage... you know the place.
OH I JUST REALIZED, Weird ALbuquerque
Thats actually his middle name
His full name is al buquerque yankovic
@@Pixelusually no, weird al's full name is actually "al"fred matthew yankovic, his nickname being "weird al".
Joke really flew over your head didn't it? @@thejizzman69
You know the place
That 12 hour albuquerque video taught me that i knew the place
Absolute masterpiece. Perhaps his finest song.
I've seen Weird Al live three times thus far but only one of them featured "Albuquerque" and that was back in 2008. While he didn't restart the song (or the show), the donut shop bit was already pretty long at that time but I see here that he's made it even longer since then!
If I can’t go on these tours and live shows myself
I can enjoy it other ways
im addicted to this song
Such a great night 😂🎉
5:49 donut section for you "NO WE'RE OUTTA" people
NOO, WE'RE OUT OF PEOPLE DONUTS
14:40 actually has me rolling on the floor 😭😭🙏
you know the place
Weird Al sounds pissed off in this version
Al Be Quirky
aint no way he did this again after so long
3:46 I want some one to animate a video in the style of the animation
3:42
I dance to weird al in the middle of the night because i have hardwood floors. I got tricked into starting over.
I thought Al didn't do this song live anywhere other than Albuquerque itself because it was too hard on his voice.
This slaps werid al rocks
YAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAY
I appreciate him addressing his use of a word that isn't considered socially appropriate anymore. And Al, if you read this, the more appropriate term now is intersex.
Wait wut did he say?
@@thecontentyouwant4314 3:45
The little aside on terminology literally fits flawlessly into the song anyway, so it has that perfect mix of nice and also funny
i dont understand why people determine a totally normal word as offensive then just change it to some other one with the same meaning 🤨
@@dizzy_jump this is a supremely lazy thing to say! Maybe ask less condescendingly or do 15 seconds of research, otherwise it sounds like you’re intentionally not interested or asking in bad faith. Especially because he literally talks a a bit about it IN THE SONG LOL.
15:43 he jumbled the letters! 🤣
That's how the song goes
@@AdamTurnerDrums in the show yes, on spotify and music video "movie" he gets "albu" and gives up. here he says "alpq"
Aaaaaaaaalbuquerque
This already random bullshit song being filled with more random bullshit truly cements it as my favorite song of weird al
It's almost twice as long impressive
I was in the room where it happened
oh cool!
i missed this shi
man, his band is good
Imagine weird al at rock in rio 2025
what a genius XD
Notice how weird al himself is wearing a red shirt.
4:10 I don’t want to know how Al got that information
thumbs Up
2:15 for some reason i died of laughing
When did he say "aw man, i hate it when i'm right"?
He doesn't
@@Helium3-3He oh! Nah, cuz that's like, part of the song, and to me it jist feels missing!
al sounds like he was talking in this concert for some reason
That's because this song is a talking song. :P
I mean, the song is about him rambling for 11 minutes.
Yooo-
WAIT HE WAS IN AUSTRALIA AND I DIDN’T HEAR ABOUT THAT
The fact he had to pause to apologize for saying “hermaphrodite”
Weird Al is so legendary, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure referenced _him._
(I'm dead serious, look it up.)
Everyone references him, just because some shitty anime does it doesn't make it any good.
I’m not going to fucking look up some stupid ass jojos bizarre adventures reference you dork
@@PuddleBookstf did JBA do, sleep with your wife 😭
@@swishfish8858 you are wanted in 16 countries
Something I love about the reference is that it confirms that universe has the same music as ours, which comes with the funny implication that stand users are indeed just yelling out the names of their favorite songs/bands whenever they use their powers
this is the og ohio meme now we need in ohio asp
Freak Al
Did he really just stop the show to apologise for using the word hermaphrodite?
It's a joke, but also not. 🤣
Disappointing for sure. Stop apologizing to perpetually offended mental midgets, every time you apologize you legitimize their ridiculous worldview.
Makes it better.
I get where you're coming from and if it were anyone else, or even any other song, I would agree. However, I think that given the more rambly nature of the song, it actually kinda works
@@ThunderStruck115 it would've been better if the song didn't stop and the instrumental kept playing while explaining it
did he just fucking say rizzler (this is a joke do not take this seriously)
no
no
He really didn't
