@@progamerz6510 I did. He thanked me, but he also said I didn't look anything like the person he described. I told him that was 21 years ago, and the Flock of Seagulls thing went out of style years ago. He also said about me only having one nostril, and I said it was the result of an operation gone wrong. I reminded him that he was the doctor who performed that operation, (I think you know what that's a reference to.) and that I took his snorkel as revenge for what he did to my nose.

How Weird Al varies his voice at a concert, it is so effective. On the less important lines, he gives a lower volume, bass voice to avoid losing his breath. He saves his bigger voice for more important lines.
I've heard hermaphrodite has a negative connotation nowadays. I've never seen anyone actually get offended by it though. At best, it's people getting offended for some hypothetical person the word might offend
This song is of course amazing, but what's really impressive to me is the lighting for this performance. It's just mesmerizing! Perfectly accentuates every point of the story
Something's not right. When Al shout's the guitarist's name just before the solo, that's supposed to be a cue that he wants Jim to play something silly instead of the actual solo.
Once you've been doing it for a while, it's easier. Not that it's easy, mind you, but half of the hard work is in the practice, discipline, and memorization. The performing is the other half.
I just went to a weird Al concert a few days ago on the 28th. I was really disappointed that he didn't play this song. but that is fair because he was staying away from songs that were really well known. this being one of them so I understand.
1. I said to my mom I said, "Hey, mom, what's up with all the sauerkraut?" And my dear, sweet mother She just looked at me like a cow looks at an oncoming train And she leaned right down next to me And she said, "It's good for you!" Then she added "Which would you have, that or kale?!" Then she tied me to a chair in front of the TV, and made me watch Cats 2. But then one fateful night, Zelda said to me She said, "Sweetie pumpkin? Do you wanna join the Columbia Record Club?" I didn't really have much to say, mainly because I still had those weasels on my face. Even as I speak, they're still chewing on me. COULD SOMEBODY PLEASE GET THESE THINGS OFF ME??!! 3. Weird Al: Anyway, um, um, where was I? Kinda lost my train of thought Me: You were talking about your part-time job at The Sizzler. Weird Al: Oh, yeah. While I was working there, I was writing songs for my album, "Even Worse" and the soundtrack for my movie "UHF". My boss fired me after he heard my parody of R.E.M.'s song Stand, because he thought spam was evil, like trigonometry and prime numbers. So then, in addition to making music, I became a grammar teacher, and opened up a store that sold stickers for signs that have what I call "word crimes". That inspired me to record a song for my last album. Why isn't any of this on Wikipedia? Most of the stuff they mentioned is about my career in music, and movies. It really pisses me off, because I feel like it's important info that everybody should know about. I guess I'll be "white and nerdy", and edit my article.
How come Weird Al doesn’t know the ending to his own song? It’s”I know it’s kind of a roundabout way of saying it, but basically the whole point of this song I’m trying to make here is....I HATE SOUR CROUTS!”. Come In Alfred it’s not hard!
its a two set joke. number one is that he "lost his train of thought" and had to restart the song. second is that originally this song was made ridiculously long to annoy people. but people loved it anwyay. so he said he would restart the song to annoy people
After 21 years, I finally decided to give him back his snorkel.
YOU DIDN'T

"There is one thing in this song that isn't 100% accurate. I'm kind of.... Ambivalent... About sauerkraut." Best way to announce this song

The 1 dislike is from the one nostril guy
Jay Marsh 10 months later, still just one dislike.
Over a year later, still just that one nostril guy.

Hearing the audience chanting back the lyrics of what is essentially a ridiculous story is hilarious
When he said "you got any Halle Berry donuts" that killed me
Now I've laughed before I heard it
That entire bit about repeating the song at the end is a really Weird Al thing to do
FACT: Everytime Weird Al performs this song in 2021 and 2022, Al stops the song to apologize for saying the H-word.
@Kleiner Hermaphrodite.

@@flamefriends3842it’s just being phased out for a more contemporary term, like every other word in the language of every spoken language ever
personally i find it offensive he would imply people with flock of seagulls haircuts as being criminals

HAD MY TRAY TABLE UP AND MY SEAT BACK IN THE FULL UPRIGHT POSITION
I saw him do this live, when he started again I LOST MY MIND
Uh oh, Al skipping the high note in the A word. We're all getting a little older.
he had to rekey Young Dumb and Ugly down a whole octave....but hey Bon Jovi couldn't sing Livin' On a Prayer a year after it came out.
Timestamp?
All the additional donuts!!!
Ikr 😂😂
R G you’ve got any bacon maple donuts?

The part where Al tries to spell “Albuquerque” gets me every time.
Greatest song....EVER! I was so happy this was included in the tour this year. It was just awesome!
I'm riding around in Albuquerque right now, going to fast food places and ordering dollar menu items and blasting this at the pick up window
I did a long stint in rehab in Albuquerque and this is exactly how it goes in Albuquerque
That's the great and funny story I ever heard.
Excellent, Mr. Yankovic.
5:45 Donut Man: Yeah, whatdya want?!
Got any glazed donuts?
@@bLahssassinNO, WE'RE OUT OF GLAZED DONUTS

Easily my favorite deep cut Al song!! Thank you for posting this! I wasn’t about to make it to the concert and I’m glad I got to see it!
…Are you joking?
@@emmettbarley5721 huh
Wakka wakka doo doo yah!
how can his band play for almost 14 mins straight?
They're seasoned musicians. It's not shocking at all. These guys are legends.

Same crew for 40 years, huge testament to how good of a guy Weird al is to work with. They play every single genre, every night
So Many Donuts
Actually they were all out :p
@@golirasmonk Damn. They're not here.
Laugh at my Shadow the hedgehog reference!
@@CosmicSponge2004 Ayyy I got it
My favorite Weird Al song of all time.
@9:19 Best guitarist in the biz.
I have memorised this whole song
This song is so awesome I heard it and started doing push-ups eventually turning into one fingered handstand push-ups
I just went to a weird Al concert a few days ago on the 28th. I was really disappointed that he didn't play this song. but that is fair because he was staying away from songs that were really well known. this being one of them so I understand.
I'm watching this video from Albuquerque.
Soooo jealous. Wish I had been there.
I saw him do this live in Austin, it was amazing!

I wanted to like this, but the like number was at 69 and I didn't want to ruin it
I ruined it, so now you can like it
Or I might have been number 69
I dunno, you can like now
that's a stupid reason not to like something.
who thinks weird al should be a comedian?
Travis he is... that is what he does
...He is
@@ehomus i mean an actual stand up comedian
Ooh ooh, ME

I like sauerkraut, but as the story demonstrates, it's a lot like sex: If you're forced to have it as a kid, you probably won't like it as an adult.
i beg your pardon

I think we just got a case of the double r/woosh

Some people just can't get a joke.
