This makes me want to go relisten to some of my favorite Tom Petty and Heartbreakers hits. (Such a great band.) I'm glad Weird Al and his band are getting some good recognition. They've always been top notch and I'd love to see a straight cover album.
That was the biggest thing I came away thinking after seeing them at the Tuacahn Ampitheatre in Utah. It's amazing how well they can play basically any style of music out there. They nail it in every way! So amazing!
Already loved weird al for his uniqueness but paying a tribute to my all time favorite musician just gained him even more respect in my books. Especially because he didn't goof around and yuck it up while he did it. Damn nice job.
It makes me laugh to think about how most of the crowd probably got excited to hear a new parody based on Refugee. I have seen a couple of these videos where Al is singing covers and they are amazing!

HOLY 💩! That ROCKED!!!
this is the best cover I've heard of Refugee.
Time for "Weird Al" to be inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...
agreed. There is a campaign for this called Make the Rock Hall Weird at allthingsyank dot com slash rockhall
No doubt

Easily one of the most talented bands in the world.
Nobody has Al's diversity.

Well done Al. Great tribute to Tom 💔

John Douglas Racing Video The only cover he clowned around on was Foxy Lady, where he inserted some Jerry Lewis flourishes
Tom Petty would've been proud.
Yes.. :)
Amen to that!!
Kinda strange to hear him do a "normal" song but I like it and so would Tom
a456987 he can sing ‘straight’, really well. A friend calls him one of the best music mimics in the business.
Listen to him sing "What is Life" at Georgefest.
❤
I was hoping someone recorded this. I was singing along the whole time and almost crying.
cdadamly ❤️
Love this. Tom would be so happy.
I wonder if he'll collect all these into an album. "Weird Al Plays it Straight" or something. =)
Genius idea!
Sweet!
YES PLEASE
I'd buy it
The "Regular Al" Show!

I'd buy a cover songs album
Al and Co. are serious musicians. A lot of people can see that behind the funny.
Fantastic o
I would love to know the Heartbreakers opinion on this cover. I can't imagine it would be anything but positive.
I love Weird Al Yankovic's work and I have even more respect for him paying respect to Tom Petty
Nice🎶
The chicken vlogs are real!🐓
Not a bad cover!
Damm he pretty good when he tries
Didn’t he do a parity Referee?

It's the terrible phone quality of the audio that's killing it.
The quality of the band and singing is outstanding, of course.
Why tho
Brian M why not?
Good musicianship appreciates good musicianship.
