I know he did a cover of Toto's Africa with Weezer, and played accordion for a few Billy Joel covers by Middle Aged Dad Band. And apparently they did a different cover all 77 stops of his 2018 tour.
On one of his most recent tours, he did a straight cover of a different song every night. There's a, like, two-hour supercut on his own UA-cam channel.
You can definitely forget the 6 Grammy nods considering they haven't been remotely relevant in over 20 years. Winning the same award as Bobby McFerrin and the Baha Men is not exactly noteworthy
@@adamcoe To be held in the same esteem as Bobby McFerrin would indeed be noteworthy, and to put him in the same bracket as a one hit wonder novelty group like The Baha Men is an insult. He’s a classically trained conductor, a pioneer in vocal percussion and polyphonic singing, and he’s performed and recorded music in most genres from classical to jazz to hip hop to folk and beyond. You probably only know him from ‘Don’t Worry Be Happy’, but I recommend looking up his other music, particularly his live performances (I’d recommend ‘Drive’ and ‘Ave Maria’ in particular). He also did an incredible lecture on the pentatonic scale that’s been widely used as an educational resource by music teachers and professors. The term ‘musical genius’ is thrown around too often, but it definitely applies in Bobby McFerrin’s case.

If aliens invade tomorrow, and I'm required to provide 1 piece of evidence that will redeem all of humanity so we're not destroyed, I'm showing them this.
Weird Al is the kingmaker. For him to just straight up cover and not farce: mad respect to Chapelle Roan. Will Forte was so into it lol. This is what a healthy display of respect looks like.
@@stepsoffaithfoundation I may be pushing my luck, but I understand Al joined everyone on stage to sing With a Little Help from My Friends. I'd be grateful for a recording of that as well. Is more coming through the pipeline?
Weird Al still remains the single most iconic artist to ever grace this planet with his existence. He has never been in any serious controversy, there are no insane allegations against him, his music is amazing and funny and he is literally so wonderful. Everything he does is either just funny or iconic. This was SO iconic.
What a great tribute to a great artist! -- It doesn't hurt that Chappell's song is a revival of the same kind of pop that was popular when Weird Al's career was starting, in the early 1980s. I get it!
Insane outfit contrast but thats the most Weird Al thing Weird Al could wear I was never really interested in Chappell Roan but this goes hard, i think ill give her a shot
I am a 52 year old and a lifelong Weird Al fan (and also a huge Forte fan), and this may be my favorite thing on the internet. I would pay money to watch these two cover more current songs. They don't even have to do any classic Weird Al numbers. Just cover new music. It would be incredible.
Middle Aged Dad Jam Band... basically a random celebrity jam band that does various covers...Weird Al will occasionally show up for a video with his accordion!
this is the first time I have ever heard this song so as far as I am concerned its the original and everyone else is covering a will forte and weird al song....
No one does it like Weird Al, his body and face are like elastic with moves you can only have if you don't care what other people think and you just go for what feels right. And how fitting as that's what Chappell Roan champions. Also, I love Weird Al fucking up the G on the letters lol
"I hope she plays Hot To Go..."
"This is a Weird Al concert."
"Shhhh... It's starting"
Someone in the crowd probably murmured "I hope they play hot to go" to themselves as a joke and damn near had a stroke when they actually played it
PIN THIS
Lmaoooooooo
Comedy perfection achieved
that’s so fucking funny
So many x posts with those videos !!
I’m seeing him next July and I told my boyfriend about that trend… now I’m hoping he really does it 🥴😂
Telling my kids that this is Chappell & Roan
Same
It’s not?
So now we know what happens when both do the Dragon Ball Z Fusion dance!!!
😂
Yes please 😂😂
the sapphic urge to look like weird al
EXACTLY
I’m a lesbian drag performer named Queer Al Stankybitch. I get it. And you can do it. I believe in you.
@@EmilyMavilleYEE holy shit that’s awesome
@@EmilyMavilleYEE You're my hero
great aunt energy
Like two proud Dad's singing their daughters song at a karaoke
Weird Al doing a straight cover is arguably even funnier than if he’d done a parody tbh
Weird AL has sung over a hundred straight covers. There's a ton of them on youtube.
Ironically it's not a very straight song
The thing about weird al is he's always made covers like these that are genuinely just as good as the originals. There will never be another weird Al.
I want him to write out the HOTDOGS ONE DOLLAR AND FIFTY CENTS
Two old, extremely straight guys covering this song is funnier than any changed lyrics could ever hope to be.
Old?! 😂
@raquelnunes9793 I mean Al is 65, that was when Social Security used to kick in...
Might not be extremely straight…
Okay she has officially made it, Weird Al did a straight cover of one of her songs.
It's not even a parody which makes it so rare. Like, how many people has Weird Al straight up covered?
I know he did a cover of Toto's Africa with Weezer, and played accordion for a few Billy Joel covers by Middle Aged Dad Band. And apparently they did a different cover all 77 stops of his 2018 tour.
@@SenthiuzHe also did an instrumental cover of Mad Villain’s ‘Accordian’ with The Roots.
it's cause tberes nothing straight about this song, so they had to balance it out
He Normal Al'ed it.
It’s rarified air to have Weird Al parody your song, but to have him *cover* your song? She’s in a league of her own, truly.
Nope a league with George Harrison, he covered What is Life for George Fest.
@@JustinFeyereisen Thanks, I wasn't wondering if this had happened before.
@@chefbanjo8139 Is it? Considering the Polkas are straight covers it’s got a lot stuffed into each of them.
On one of his most recent tours, he did a straight cover of a different song every night. There's a, like, two-hour supercut on his own UA-cam channel.
@@xogirlwonder Curiosity is a good thing.
I was literally thinking the other day, "Wouldn't it be funny if Weird Al did a cover of Femininomenon called 'Necronomicon?'"
My husband literally thought she was saying Feminomicon and now everytime I play that song we giggle about lesbian necromancers
I had a Halloween party that was Femininecronomicon themed...needless to say not many people got the reference...
@@AmallieGames this is my understanding of what the book gideon the ninth is about
I fully expected it too lol
Only if he got Bruce Campbell involved.
OK, it'd be good even without Campbell, but...c'mon.
All we need now is the Pink Pony Club Polka!!
Pink Polka Club
we have a mighty need
@@zawarudo855 Even better!!
performed by Cheese Sandwich of course #MLP
Yes, we need a new polka.
Weird Al covering Chappell Roan is the making me all kinds of happy. Forget the 6 Grammy nods, this is the true sign that she’s made it.
As Kurt Cobain said (more or less)
I thought Michael Jackson said that
You can definitely forget the 6 Grammy nods considering they haven't been remotely relevant in over 20 years. Winning the same award as Bobby McFerrin and the Baha Men is not exactly noteworthy
Weird Al shoulda do Please Please Please

Can we talk about Will's total commitment to the choreography?
Commitment to hitting those octaves. Damn sure tried.
Yes!!!!!!
Yes we may
I 100% can imagine him singing and dancing this song at home
Will Forte is an acquired treasure and must be protected at all costs.
how in hell is weird al 65 years old
Having a fun career and being unproblematic is good for your health
Veganism
He's young for his age
And doing gigs with guys who saw Phish at The Sphere #@m
i wasn't ready for this information. dude ages FANTASTICALLY-- weirdness does a body good, evidently!
I demand Chappell Roan makes a cover of a weird al song now, it makes too much sense for this to not occur.
one vote for the ebay song
@@anitapricecheck9554 my man ❤🤝
Would kill for Hardware Store Chappel Roan cover
@@immaturealchemist6135this is the way
She would kill One More Minute
"i hope they play hot to go!"
"this is a weird al yankovic concert.."
HOLY FUCK.
Weird Al talking about someone sleeping with him is like that moment when you're in Kindergarden and you hear an adult swear for the first time.
to be fair, in Polka Your Eyes Out he did sing the lyrics “when I think about you I touch myself” which I think is equally explicit

Holy shit, Al's vocals? That man is 65 years old, and he's hitting those notes with that energy? O.O
"N-O-T-T-O-G-O I've decided not to go!" The introverts new anthem! Boom done. :)

The introvert's anthem is The Doubleclicks "Ennui (On We Go)" but they can have two
"I hope she plays Dare to Be Stupid!"
"B, this is Chappell Roan."
YESSS
I'd prefer like a surgeon.
Now we need her to cover that!!! 😊
If aliens invade tomorrow, and I'm required to provide 1 piece of evidence that will redeem all of humanity so we're not destroyed, I'm showing them this.
Good. Our hero.

Weird Al covering Hot To Go is my gender goals, honestly
THIS!!! Omfg
Gender goals? A simple generation.
Can't believe Cheese Sandwich and Abraham Lincoln performed a Chappell Roan song tonight. Unbelievably amazing!
I WAS WONDERING WHERE I RECOGNIZED HIS VOICE FROM 😭
milo & tandy (but no kristen)
dream blunt rotation
Weird Al sings this like it's an Elvis Costello song and I love it.
You know with all the emotions I've felt after the election- this is the wholesome content i need
Chappell Roan's happy vibes songs are getting me through these dark days.
I said "if they put up a professional soundboard full length recording, I'll donate 27 dollars."
Well here ya go. Thanks!
@@johern27 thanks!

Don’t jinx it 😢 I need one non weird person in the industry
he's one of the few celebrities i can say i genuinely admire. weird al is my idol tbh
I desperately need someone to have filmed a 'i hope he plays hot to go - this is Al Yancovich?' video for this, I can't even tell you

The wins just keep coming!
I love that they traded off so they each had a swing at holding the long OOOOOOO during the final chorus. That shit ain't easy.
This is the alternate timeline I choose to live in
I'm absolutely LIVING for Will Forte's belt around 2:50, crack and all. Say what you want about him, but he absolutely GIVESSS in a performance
What I want to say about him is that he is God's perfect prince
2:45
He committed! I loved it
@@nezzynezWhat I want to say about him is he is an absolute amazing annoying little shit who must be protected at all costs. I adore that man.
Same i was blown away that was awesome
BABY DON'T YOU LIKE THIS BEAT!!!??? 🗣🔥🔥🔥💯💯
Will Forte and Weird Al... This is peak humanity, no turning back
This is better than winning a Grammy
If i achieved Weird AL and Will Forte covering my song I'd simply be satisfied with life
now chappell roan has to respond by covering "eat it"
I say "Dare to be stupid" simply because it's a weird al original rather than a parody.
Weird Al Yankovic my beloved. I hope that he finds an immortality device.
I hope they play hot to go
This is a Weird Al concert
Wow! How good a song has to be for Weird Al to be like “perfect, no notes.” That’s HUGE!
Okay, but watching Weird Al doing the dance made my day.
Ahhh!! The crowd isn’t nearly excited enough about this!!
right like i’d be down there backflipping
What a great tribute to a great artist! -- It doesn't hurt that Chappell's song is a revival of the same kind of pop that was popular when Weird Al's career was starting, in the early 1980s. I get it!
I really hope this made Chappell so happy. And you can tell how much Weird Al is truly enjoying singing this song!
Feels strange she doesn't seem to have made any comment about it.
this is how you know you've made it
As a GenX kid who grew up on Weird Al, this is one of the greatest things I have ever seen!
Isn't it odd how Weird Al make EVERYTHING BETTER!
It's weird!!!
I'd kill to see Chappell's reaction to this!
it must be such an honor to have your song get covered by weird al
Even Weird Al knows Chappell Roan is too good to change.
I hope Chappell Roan recognizes what an honor this is.
Hahahah I love this SO much!! They actually sound really great and is harmonizing well!!!
Insane outfit contrast but thats the most Weird Al thing Weird Al could wear
I was never really interested in Chappell Roan but this goes hard, i think ill give her a shot
you won’t regret it
@@anitapricecheck9554 i did not, no
The first 2 songs on her album and My Kink is Karma are hilarious.

Chappell Roan has officially hit her peak.
This is beautiful
this is awesome weird al
0:30 look at weird Al’s funky dance moves, super kewl
I rewatched that part a million times and I could watch it again another million.
AL IS super kewl!!!
I once met Weird Al backstage and he’s honestly one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet and bro is huge too.
I love them so much for this lmao
I love that this is such a fun song to sing that it's been covered so much, it feels like "Aint no mountain high enough" or something lol.
Somehow it's funnier that they didn't change the words. Having two sweaty guys sing this song somehow changes the whole thing 😂😂😂😂
1:46 i didn't know Will Forte could do it like that!!! I've heard him sing in The Great North as Wolf. Another star of the SNL Alums
Weird al and will forte ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Finally someone who does the whole dance! Touching toes and body roll and all! And two of my favorite comedians no less ❤
This is my multiverse of madness
Will Forte doing the pre-chorus dance too is really the icing on the cake
There's so much energy coming from these two. I'm exhausted just looking at them! What a performance!
THIS IS IMMACULATE
This is giving the healing energy we all needed! 🎉
This has just brought my life full circle. Everything is connected.
This version absolutely lives in my head rent free.
i can’t lie 0:55 kind of ate

Just more proof that Weird Al can do everything and be great at it. I absolutely love this!!
Weird Al is out there covering hit songs again. Nature is healing 🙏
Two comedy legends on one stage. FREAKING THANK YOU!!! 😊
Weird Al still having such vocal range is awesome!!!!
Al's in great voice. Really looking forward to his tour next year.
Not even a big Chappell Roan fan but I keep coming back to this, the energy is so great
I have never been so jealous of Chappell Roan until now.. imagine having THEE Wierd Al Yankovich singing your song and doing your dance moves. 🤯
*Immediately saves this to my "mood boosters" playlist*
