Weird Al is a damn treasure, and deserves to be in the RnR Hall of Fame. His parodies are brilliant, but he also writes equally awesome original songs, and puts on a great concert. Also, by all accounts, he's an awesome human being who's had the same guys in his band since he started out. Great choice, this one's a blast - much love from Canada!
All his videos are worth it. Eat It, smells like Nirvana, all about the pentiums, Amish paradise. Most people only know him from song parodies, but he also does original somgs influenced by other artists. The fun thing with Al's videos is to catch the Easter eggs like pop culture references he puts in. And by the way, Al's main instrument is the accordion.
I love Weird Al! I may not listen to him on a regular basis nor keep up with his latest, but I certainly admire his creativity and his sense of humour. Humour is sorely lacking in music for the past...couple of decades? at least, and his parodies are legendary. He also keeps up with different styles of music, you have to give him credit for that too!
@@danielshea518with this being a producer's reaction I had hoped there would be more props for how well they executed the sound of "Riding Dirty." Frankly, too many don't even consider that Al has only ever added band members, never lost band members (since the 70s), and the whole band together are so skilled to be able to pull off the expensive breadth of genres Al's assorted parodies and pastiches span.
For me it's when they lock the door of a convertible 😆 Donny osmond is the dude dancing in the background,he was a teenage idol in the 70's a group called the Osmonds you should check out their song " One bad apple" you will be thinking that you're listening to the Jackson 5 ✌️
Several have mentioned Donny Osmond, but what about Key & Peele in the convertible? Thanks for catching that! Weird Al parodies lots of iconic songs, and has some great originals as well. At Weird Al's Walk of Fame installation, guest Don McLean confessed that sometimes he has to make sure he's not singing Al's "The Saga Begins" instead of his own words to "American Pie".
Weird Al IS a musician, and a damned good one, at that. He plays the Accordion among other things. He also writes some real bangers of original music. Been a fan of his since his first album came out.
He is a genius! As another mentioned: a damn treasure. His talent goes beyond & he carries it so well. He has offered so much humor & wise cracks that he can make anyone offer up a chuckle. Some of his own creations are just as good. Thank you for sharing this one.
I've been a fan of Weird Al since the 80's and my daughter loves him too. We've been lucky enough to meet him three times and in concert once. He's an amazingly talented artist and an incredibly nice person. He was so wonderful with my daughter the first time we met him when she was 6 years old.
I’m on day 2 of a 7 day minimum stay of University of Chicago Hospital for some heavy chemo. This one brought me a few smiles. Mission accomplished. Thank you. I saw Weird Al perform in a large bar in FL around late 1978. He was unbelievable. Accordion is his instrument. Cover charge was $8, which was a lot for that time. Well worth it.
Someone has already mentioned that Weird Al plays an accordion and that the dancer in the background is Donny Osmond (who could be more white and nerdy?). Yes, Weird Al does parodies, but let me point out three things: 1) His parodies are never mean spirited. He never disrespects the original artist or the song’s original message. 2) He asks permission from the original artist, although legally, he’s not required to do so for parodies. 3) He never uses foul language in his parodies. He just has fun with the original tunes. If you want to hear an original Weird Al song, listen to “Hardware Store.” It’s hilarious, and he raps faster than in any other song he’s ever done.
He said he asked Donny Osmond to do it because he's the whitest man alive - and they asked Chamillionaire about this and he said that Al "spits pretty good"
Well, I could argue he disrespected Kurt Cobain, Lady Gaga and George Harrison. Maybe even James Brown’s dancing technique. But these guys all took it in good humor. No point being over sensitive.
Who would rag on Al? He's a genius! Oh, you should definitely check out the companion video (Take #1), where Al and Donny recorded the entire song with Donny dancing behind Al without Al having any idea what he was doing. Hilarious. I adore Donny Osmond. My first love. lol
❤❤ It He was SO fun to watch on MTV back in the day...Poor guy lost both parents due to a Carbon Monoxide leak in their house 😢 PS 1st song of his I heard Another One Rides the Bus ( parody of Queens Another One Bites the Dust) on a college radio station...He went on to make name on MTV with Michael Jackson and Madonna parodies..Again ❤❤❤ your reactions Stephen 😊😊❤❤
So much fun. Never saw this one. Only know Eat It (Michael Jackson's Beat It) and Like a Surgeon (Madonna's Like a Virgin). He had long hair back then. Donny, my teenage heart throb!!!
Al does song parodies, style parodies, original works and polka compilations/parodies. His mother got him Accordion lessons as a child, possibly because she was a fan of the "Polka King", Frankie Yankovic (no relation).
Weird Al is a True Musician/Performer..... Think of the talent it takes to take someone else's melody(music) and make lyrics that match and tell a story...... Then Add the ability/talent/skill to change his singing style for each song.... Rap/Country/Rock/Mellow....... Most Artists see it as a sign they have 'made it"...... When Weird Al makes a Parody of one of your songs....... Also If you look at sales/download trends... It has been reported that when Weird Al Parodies a song there is a noticable increase in the original song as well.......
WOOO!! Coupla things. Up front-anybody who has a problem with Al is clearly radicalised and should turn themselves in immediately. I started with Al on Dr. Demento in 1978 and has been there through divorces, deaths, marriages and a homicide or two. But woe the day when you don't know the original songs he's parodying! I've watched dozens of reactions to this song and not a single reactor recognises Donny Osmond. (Talk about whiter than sour cream. He was the sh*t when I was 6.) And yes, that was Key and Peele! Do all the Al you want, dude. And don't pass on his originals. "One More Minute" is a particular fave. So do all the Al you can-we can all use the laughs. Love your channel!
OMG! You're the only commenter I've seen who actually mentioned Dr. Demento!! LOL I'm right there with ya! I can still remember laughing 'til we cried hearing "I love to feel their little feet...when I'm sleeping with my sheep!" I saw Al in concert around '79, I think. (Sometimes it's hard to remember those years! Haha)
@@leslieoneal4464 Lucky you! I'm pea green with envy! My late husband got me his live DVD for Yule one year and we laughed till we cried I don't know how many times. BTW, do you ever look into the Dr. Demento shows here? YT is stuffed with old shows-they sound just like all my old cassette compilations! Gawd, do I miss that show. Especially the Halloween parties!
@leslieoneal4464 Pretty sure those lyrics are not Al's. If you're thinking of Dirty Deeds Done With Sheep, that's Bob Rivers (?). Many parodies were wrongly attributed to Al back in the day. There are still some floating around on UA-cam. Al is mostly PG in his parody work. His original songs can get dark and a little violent, but he works pretty clean.
@@mustangdebbie56 I guess I didn't say it clearly... sometimes my brain gets ahead of itself! LOL I was just remembering the Dr. Demento Show (and others like it - like Bob & Tom) when I mentioned that song, not Al. 👍🏻 "Dirty Deeds", "The Man Song", etc! 😂
@@cainealexander-mccord2805 OMG! It never occurred to me that Dr. Demento's old stuff might be on YT! Ok. Guess I know what I'll be doing for the next couple hours! LOL I used to tape the shows, too, but those tapes are long ago lost! Thanks for the heads up!
Donny Osmond said that when Weird Al called to ask him about appearing in the video, he said he couldn’t think of anyone any whiter or nerdier than Donny Osmond. I think he plays accordion.
I took my two daughters to see Al for their first concert- we had a blast, - loads of costumes and audience was every age from 8 to 80 - great time for all
The difference with his parodies is that they are actually tributes wrapped in a parody .. it’s clear he loves these songs, and his genius level musicianship can make these awesome fun renditions that kick all the ass. :)
His first song on the radio was in 1976 on the Dr. Demento Show - Al was 16 years old! I first heard him on the same show in late 1980, when his first album came out. I saw him in concert in 2006 - and yes, massive number of costume changes, set changes, etc.
Coolio and Al worked things out. Some of the folks in Coolio’s camp didn’t understand the request and there was some bad communication. It all worked out, but Coolio’s been publicly apologizing for years now. Al is fantastic live. There’s a petition every year to have him be the halftime performer for the Super Bowl.
I have watched dozens of reactions to this song and not one reactor has recognized or commented on Donny Osmond in the video. The king of white and nerdy
In Spokane, WA, he started the show with his "Tacky" continuous shot theme, from backstage to the front. And he did sets for Yoda and a few others. It was at a casino, and was great!
Who hates on Weird Al? I remember when this dude was getting his self-produced song on The Dr. Demento radio show. 5 years later he's on top of the world after his parody of Madonna's "Like A Virgin" (Like A Surgeon). I saw him about 12 years ago, and it was one of the best concerts I ever saw, and I saw some doozies back in the day. Love Weird Al.
Al has been my hero for decades, since he started doing these! and some of the songs he's parodied, I didn't like the original song, but I love his parodies of them! my all time favorite song of his, which isn't a parody at all, except for the genre of music, is Dare to be Stupid! a Punk Rock song inspired by DEVO's style. the lead singer of DEVO was once asked what he thought of Dare to be Stupid, and he said that he loved the song, but he hated Weird Al for doing it, saying that they should have thought of it!
I've seen Al live nine times that I can remember, starting with his first tour thru AZ in '84. Every year, his shows get better. In the last six years I've seen the full stage show with costume changes, the stripped down Ridiculously Self Indulgent tour (LOTS of his obscure songs and unplugged tunes) and one where he had a full orchestra. Do yourself a favor and catch his next tour. You will not be disappointed.
There is a behind the scenes video of the entire song with just Al singing and Donny dancing behind him and at the end Al absolutely looses it and just cracks up. He basically told Donny to just do whatever. And Donny went way harder than he had to.
Weird Al is a GENIUS!!! Now that you're going down this rabbit hole: "Like a Surgeon, Eat It, Fat, Polka Face, Smells Like Nirvana, Perform This Way" and many many more... Genius I tell You!! ...
😂 if you love this you have to check out Rucka Rucka Ali with parody" I can do whatever I'm white " from TI - you can do whatever you like. That is so hilarious, you will be rolling! He even has TI in his music video. It's a must 😆
Weird Al plays a lot of different instruments, including the harmonica, but the one you're thinking of is almost certainly the accordion. That's the one he's principally known for, and the most important in the history of his career. Speaking of the history of his career, it got off the ground in the seventies but continued to gradually grow as he gained more fans over time through word of mouth over the next several decades; it started to taper off after Mandatory Fun, when he didn't continue to produce new albums, probably because there hasn't been a lot of new music since then that's both unique enough and also sufficiently well known, to be worth making parodies of. (Do you really want to hear a Weird Al parody of Love Yourself, for example? I don't. There *has* been new music that's actually good, but it's mostly been more obscure stuff with a smaller following.) Although the movie project might also have been a contributing factor, by taking up a lot of his time and energy for a while. I do wish he'd do a parody of one of The Warning's songs at some point, but by the time they started to really get big, it had already been 5+ years since his last album.
Had to comment in the hopes you'll have a laugh, in the UK we call a fanny pack, a 'bum bag' 😂 And i actually bought a new one a couple of years ago, it's faux leather with little metal studs on it 😆
Most acts now know that if Weird Al covers their song, it increases their sales as well. And Coolio said that getting upset with Al was one of the dumbest things that he ever did.
Another song that I can recommend, if you want to hear a song that's totally off the wall and rocks, is a song called Albuquerque. It's hilarious! It's one of his many original songs.
Most artists loved having Weird Al doing a satire of one of their songs. Some artist like Madonna gave Weird Al permission, only if she could be in the video “Like a Surgeon “. But unfortunately, this guy didn’t like Al doing it C’est la vie dude. 😂.
That was not Madonna in the video. Greg Kihn did appear in the I Lost on Jeopardy video. It was Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits that said he had to play guitar on the Money For Nothing parody (he did not appear on the video). Also, Chamillionaire loved the parody. It was Coolio that had an issue with Amish Paradise, but later apologized.
Here's the thing about Coolio. He's said in the years since the blow up over "Amish Paradise" that he overreacted, and that he'd wished his people had told him to chill out over it. He's 💯 cool with Weird Al now, there's no beef whatsoever.

If you're into audio, you have to look up his band.
ummmmmm you are MISTAKEN. 95% OF the population LOVES HIM! HE is a GENIUS!! (DORK)
He plays accordion. The guy dancing behind Al is Donny Osmand
oh that's right!
There is a rehearsal video with just the two of them that is better than this!

I saw Al live years ago , and it's still one of the best shows I've ever been to.
So true. I got to see him once, his dedication to the show is so impressive.
@@WolfHreda - The band was also incredibly tight.

None of the people who react to this ever mention Donny O.
or Seth Green
they are all too young to really know who he is
or Judy Tenuta (girlfriend with the power bar) who was a hilarious comedienne
I noticed Donny Osmond str8 away. Saw him on Broadway.
was just about to say that.
Love Al! Saw him open for The Monkees decades ago.
"a lot of people hate on Word Al". I've literally never heard anyone say a bad word about him.
Wird Al is so talented and I hope you do all of his parodies... 🤞😊
Weird Al and his band have been favorites of mine for decades. They are more than a novelty act, they are excellent musicians.
They have to plsy every style he does, and also polka.
He's one of the greatest musical geniuses of our time. You should check out All About the Pentiums. It really rocks.
He playa the accordion 😊
Before they added their latest band member something like 30 years ago Al also played other instruments on the stage
Al is a treasure, he must always be protected
Who would rag on Al? He's a genius!

Dr. Demento played it on his radio program in the mid 80's. That's when I fell for Weird Al.

Thanks, Steven! 😀
I know right!! So much fun! 😁
His "real music" is pretty good. Very talented
Weird Al is the best to ever do what he does. I imagine he plays a lot of instruments, but I know he plays the Accordion.

That’s so awesome! Sounds like a blast! 😁
❤ Weird Al!!!
Weird Al is a genius. He doesn't have a song that I have heard that is bad. They are all funny and entertaining as hell.
🔥🔥🔥
The difference with his parodies is that they are actually tributes wrapped in a parody .. it’s clear he loves these songs, and his genius level musicianship can make these awesome fun renditions that kick all the ass. :)
I love live versions also 👍🏼 Cory singing Try a Little Tenderness is Fantastic!!
Absolutely one of my Favs
His family pronounces the last name "Yank-o-vick". 🙂
His first song on the radio was in 1976 on the Dr. Demento Show - Al was 16 years old!
I first heard him on the same show in late 1980, when his first album came out.
I saw him in concert in 2006 - and yes, massive number of costume changes, set changes, etc.
That made me laugh. I have no idea what he was doing with the bubble wrap and I don’t need to know 😂😂
😂🤣😂
Have been to several concerts. They are a blast, and are appropriate for all ages - kids to old guys like me.
That’s so awesome! Thanks for sharing!
"Holy cow! I'm white and nerdy!"
My intro to WAY was "Another One Rides the Bus" on the Dr Demento show in the 80s

And the late Judy Tenuta.
yes!
I have been to one of his concerts yes. It was amazing and funny and it was an outdoor concert so after it ended there was a fireworks show too.
"White and Nerdy" ="Riding dirty" means you got dope and/or used crack pipes in your possession, driving around.
Oh snap!! 😂🤣
When he was doing the Wikipedia update it was for Atlantic Records, it was hard to see it. He had a problem with Atlantic.
I've seen Al live nine times that I can remember, starting with his first tour thru AZ in '84. Every year, his shows get better.

I never knew that! I’ll have to check some of them out!

It's difficult to pick a favourite Weird Al song, but Another One Rides The Bus is one of my favourites 😊
A phrase I've heard for my whole life:
"You know you've made it when Weird Al wants to parody one of your songs" ❤
Haha 🤣 💯
First video I saw was Fat, I was hooked but then MTV died. I still blared it to my kids, they love it too even if they are in their 30s lol
JEFF was HERE 🏆
What’s up Jeff!!! 🤙🏻
Weird Al is a GENIUS!!! Now that you're going down this rabbit hole: "Like a Surgeon, Eat It, Fat, Polka Face, Smells Like Nirvana, Perform This Way" and many many more... Genius I tell You!! ...
So many bangers!!! Thanks for the suggestions and have a great one!
FUN FACT: In an interview Al states In the last scene of AMISH PARADISE, he had to perform that last past in reverse, in essence singing backwards.
I love Wierd Al, o think he's a genious.
Hey man love the video thanks I needed a good laugh today
So glad you enjoyed it! This was hilarious for sure! Weird Al is the man!!! 🤣

Speaking of the history of his career, it got off the ground in the seventies but continued to gradually grow as he gained more fans over time through word of mouth over the next several decades; it started to taper off after Mandatory Fun, when he didn't continue to produce new albums, probably because there hasn't been a lot of new music since then that's both unique enough and also sufficiently well known, to be worth making parodies of. (Do you really want to hear a Weird Al parody of Love Yourself, for example? I don't. There *has* been new music that's actually good, but it's mostly been more obscure stuff with a smaller following.) Although the movie project might also have been a contributing factor, by taking up a lot of his time and energy for a while. I do wish he'd do a parody of one of The Warning's songs at some point, but by the time they started to really get big, it had already been 5+ years since his last album.
Al plays the accordion and also makes his own original songs.
i was listening to weird al when dr demento discovered him and brought him onto his radio show in the 70s.
Definitely check him out live. This is a great performance of "Yoda": ua-cam.com/video/K7Os03mgMvo/v-deo.html
He's a genius
I saw I’m in concert in Chattanooga about 12 years ago. It was a ton of fun
So awesome!! 😁
Should react to "All About the Pentiums" and "Foil" and "Tacky".
Yank-o-VIK.
And he's been playing accordion since childhood.
And he has things much more recent than "back in the day." Watch The Hamilton Polka.
Al writes his own songs too. He plays an accordian.
Had to comment in the hopes you'll have a laugh, in the UK we call a fanny pack, a 'bum bag' 😂
And i actually bought a new one a couple of years ago, it's faux leather with little metal studs on it 😆
Oh snap!! You got that fancy one! 🤣
@@setonhillstudios Definitely 😆 It was quite cheap at £5 😁 But I love bags/shoes/bracelets etc with studs on 🥰
Most acts now know that if Weird Al covers their song, it increases their sales as well. And Coolio said that getting upset with Al was one of the dumbest things that he ever did.
Weird Al is one of the top two accordionist in the world, named “Yankovic.”
first rule of survival in a convertible - lock the door! 😅😅😅
🤣😂🤣
Another song that I can recommend, if you want to hear a song that's totally off the wall and rocks, is a song called Albuquerque. It's hilarious! It's one of his many original songs.
jumped on the vid! Good shit
Appreciate it! 🤘🏻
I saw weird all at the fair.he does use some different props and backgrounds and changes outfits many times!
That’s awesome!!! 😁
@@setonhillstudios it was only $10 per ticket! What a stroke of luck
Idk about sets, but he does do costume changes. I've seen him twice and he is awesome. If you get the chance go!
That’s awesome!!! 😁
Check out Amish Paradise. My girls and I love that one!
Most artists loved having Weird Al doing a satire of one of their songs. Some artist like Madonna gave Weird Al permission, only if she could be in the video “Like a Surgeon “.
But unfortunately, this guy didn’t like Al doing it C’est la vie dude. 😂.
That was not Madonna in the video. Greg Kihn did appear in the I Lost on Jeopardy video. It was Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits that said he had to play guitar on the Money For Nothing parody (he did not appear on the video).
Also, Chamillionaire loved the parody. It was Coolio that had an issue with Amish Paradise, but later apologized.
Here's the thing about Coolio.
He's said in the years since the blow up over "Amish Paradise" that he overreacted, and that he'd wished his people had told him to chill out over it. He's 💯 cool with Weird Al now, there's no beef whatsoever.
I've been a fan since 1976...even though he did play the stinking accordion...
🤣🤣
Weird Al is Chuck Norris of music. Michael Jackson was his big fan...
