The fact that he wrote a 10 minute song, where hes overly explaining the most mundane things, AND the whole time it still rhymes is incredible. Weird Al truly is a national treasure.
If you ever listen to trapped in the closet by R Kelly which is what this song is a parody of, you'll realize that that's exactly what R Kelly does in the original and weird Al was just parodying it in his usual genius fashion
Detail in this is insane. Favorite part is that he foreshadowed the burger having no onions by the "not too bright" lady not repeating that the burger had onions, and instead him getting caught up on the soda size. Beautiful
Also that there was a dollar on the ground beneath his car the entire time as he pulled up to the receiving window, a funny little nod to a way out of the awkward situation being just within his reach but being unawares of it.
Damn I'm glad at least one of the recent comments that are liked a lot related to actual song and how awesome this cover actually is. He did such a good job
I remember being 9 years old in the car with my brother and dad, and we asked if we could listen to the rest of the song before we go inside. We had no idea how long it was. And now here I am, 12 years later.
And now we're finally drivin' away And the food is drivin' me mad With its intoxicating bouquet I'm starvin' to death By the time we pull up at the traffic light I say, baby, gimme that burger, I just gotta have a bite! So she reaches in the bag And pulls out the burger And she hands me the burger And I pick up the burger And then I unwrap the paper I bite into those buns And I just can't believe it They forgot the onions!
kitteneyejo I agree the ad libs sound like post malone. I almost thought it was a parody of a post song because I just saw it recently (I ignored it because last time I saw weird al was when I was a kid and thought maybe I out grew him).
Before everything got fucked, and the internet was basically a bunch of random communities and unconnected niches and not governed by 2 fucking companies.
My boyfriend is more agreeable /relaxed than most and doesn't make me feel like we have to do everything together or be stapled together 24/7, but I can see how even the simplest things can be made complex in relationships~
Yeah apparently Weird Al asked Jimmy Page to parody one of Zeppelin's songs and he refused but as a make good allowed Al to use "Black Dog" on this song.
Ladies and Gentlemen. This song has only recently turned 16. According to this song, back in 2006 you were able to get NOT ONLY, a Chicken sandwich, a Cheeseburger, and some curly fries, but you could also get a medium Root Beer for only $5.82. Being the most "standard" drive thru for burgers would be McDonald's, getting the exact same order being a Crispy Chicken Sandwich ($4.69), A Quarter Pounder with Cheese WITH EXTRA ONIONS ($5.39), Fries assuming that its large ($4.29), and Dr. Pepper being closest to Root Beer ($1.00), in March of 2022's prices, brings the total to $16.48 after 7.25% sales tax. In just 16 years the price of this meal is 283% more expensive than it was when this song was first released. I don't know why I went through the effort to make this, but I did. UPDATE 10/11/2022: The exact same meal at my local McDonald's in minnesota is now $18.70 after tax. It is 321% more expensive now since 2006, and 13% more expensive now than it was back in April
I think in an interview or something he said that he could never top the weirdness/craziness of the original Stuck in the Closet song with a parody, so instead he decided to take the exact opposite approach and parody it with the most tame and mundane parody ever
I'm not even married but I can 100% empathize with this guy's relationship with his wife. I feel it all, the tension, the desperation, the humiliation, the death stares.

@@isaacster5027 -- I also believe the cousin who called him 4 times during the day was calling to tell him that he had his wallet. There is no evidence but Al usually doesn't add inconsequential details in the songs.
I can’t be the only one that comes back to this video about every 2-3 years after a random reminder from life. Thank you Weird Al, for making us weird kids feel a little less weird
Dude....... i fucking read this, right as he fucking said it... i was scrolling and it was on my screen, but i didnt read the comment yet, i was looking at the video, and then as he realized they forgot the onions, i looked down and read with the video, "They forgot the onions" So fucking incredible.
At the drive thru window, they were a dollar short and when they drove off, there was a dollar on the street under the car lolol. Weird Al is a subtle genius in all ways
Weird al didn't make this video It is fanmade but weird al loved it so much he asked that it becomes official. So credit for clever animation goes to the fan creator ✌️
The first time I saw this I think I was ten years old. I haven't seen it since. I'm now 22 years old and I graduate from college this Saturday. All I can say is that this has aged like fine wine.
@@leolimitedition in your perception of our world, is a friendly chat with another person some kind of unbelievable,so far out of here concept? It is to some people, but my god, what a miserable waste of this brief experience of consciousness that must be! ...to me, in my opinion, respectfully...
Hahahaa same here. Had constant laughs throughout the video, since its such a real life concept. Then the wallet I'm like haha no wayyy that's the worst.
I think it's just how mundane the whole thing is. He's wasting his life watching something on tv he's not really interested in just because he doesn't know what else to do. Neither he nor his equally uninterested wife want to put forth the effort to make a decent meal so they are forced to go to the nearest cancer ridden fast food joint for a quick, cheap, artery clogging meal. They either argue or sit in silence the whole time they're in the car, then he has to turn down his music for her, furthering the notion that they have almost nothing in common but will probably return home to their meaningless, couch ridden lives together for the rest of their days.
I don't even know how this guy managed to make a song about two people just going to a drive-through and with their problems included in this. Good job buddy.
I am a middle-aged woman from France and had never heard this parody. I'm stuck at home with Covid and after laughing so hard while listening to it I feel like I'm healed. That line : "Did I mention the drive-thru?" just killed me.
2 double cheeseburgers and a large fry (with the mcdonalds app) is $5.08 plus tax. You could both get water and it'll be under $6, or splitting a large soda will be about $7

When youre forced to fill your tinder profile with personal information and random facts in order to attract a mate and put "can sing the entire 11 minute song trapped in the drive thru by weird al word for word" as one of your special talents. I'm not kidding. It's seriously in my tinder profile. 😂
I know I'm probably overthinking it, but this song is actually really beautiful. Lots of love songs focus on the heat and magic of starting a relationship, the rush of someone new. Some love songs for older folks focus on the big moments in a lifetime of love with someone. But this song is about what most of your life - especially with someone else - will mostly be composed of: the boring, little moments. Lightly arguing over leftovers, not having enough money to get food, it's all so accurate. It's like Russel's quote from Up: 'That all might sound boring, but I think the boring stuff is the stuff I remember the most.' Ellie's book was filled with the mundane moments with her husband, not the big trip they planned. Life is filled with seemingly dull stuff, like this song - that's why I love it. It's accurate, simple yet beautiful.

As an adult in a relationship, this is a common weekend event: “are you hungry” “yes” “what do you want?” “I don’t know, what do you want?” On and on, lol
Then she asks to go to that one place that is ALWAYS closed on Sunday's.
@ for us in Arizona, it’s always the places closed on Mondays 😂
I just realized the dude never got his large root beer
Angel Trevino it's implied.
Omg ya!
Angel Trevino
AND the onions. Smh
Angel Trevino yea
Angel Trevino MEDIUM ROOT BEER MEDIUM
I sat here, 10 mins, just listening to a story of going to a drive-thru as a song
*worth it tho-*
oof try watching all 20 something episodes of trapped in the closet😂💀
Try listening it for 20 years haha
Noticed that when the lady taking the order repeated it back, she didn’t specify the burger with onions
Hence why there was no onions at the end
Also they didn't give him his drink!
@@ashtonmccloud1161 Hence canels why fyi.
Attention to detail
@@isaacster5027 -- I also believe the cousin who called him 4 times during the day was calling to tell him that he had his wallet. There is no evidence but Al usually doesn't add inconsequential details in the songs.
I can’t be the only one that comes back to this video about every 2-3 years after a random reminder from life. Thank you Weird Al, for making us weird kids feel a little less weird
“They forgot the onions”
I think I’m going to cry
; - ; I was really exited for my onion
Miu Iruma how do you do that without onions?
Dude....... i fucking read this, right as he fucking said it... i was scrolling and it was on my screen, but i didnt read the comment yet, i was looking at the video, and then as he realized they forgot the onions, i looked down and read with the video, "They forgot the onions" So fucking incredible.
Miu Iruma they have layers
Fantasies are reality's tears. Finally someone noticed it and also no
Can we just point out how this is one of Al's best vocal performances in his catalogue?
That falsetto is flawless
I wouldn't necessarily agree with that... "Smells Like Nirvana" and "Constipated" were great vocal performances, too.
@@AstrosElectronicsLabYou gotta listen to Virus Alert! My favorite of his originals and a fabulous vocal performance!!
@@Madame_Rose that's one of my go to's, and theres not a lot of those! cheers
Ebay and Craigslist
At the drive thru window, they were a dollar short and when they drove off, there was a dollar on the street under the car lolol. Weird Al is a subtle genius in all ways
Yes😁I seen that dollar when they drove off.Weird Al does great😁😄
I think it was supposed to be a receipt but I’m not sure 🤷♂️
@@RealTalkAlexV no its definitely supposed to be a dollar. Its green
Give me the time stamp where to find that at
Weird al didn't make this video
It is fanmade but weird al loved it so much he asked that it becomes official. So credit for clever animation goes to the fan creator ✌️
This song is a Masterpice
Plot twist: cousin Larry had his wallet
No, it was paul
hermit purple which Paul?
@@TWlaz plumber
And was trying to tell him by calling him but he ignored him
Another plot twist:it was in one of his other pockets
The first time I saw this I think I was ten years old.
I haven't seen it since.
I'm now 22 years old and I graduate from college this Saturday. All I can say is that this has aged like fine wine.
The video is 9 years 10+9 = 22 ?!?? Math

@@therabbitfollower5550 oh ok
I know I'm late but congrats on graduating college!
Hunter Williams ey, thanks mate!
I remember my best friend showing me this in 5th grade. I’m in college now. Amazing people are still coming back 😂
NightDreamer231 omg I was in high school. Literally thought about this song today. Weird we both came back a day apart.
NightDreamer231 SaME wtff
NightDreamer231 I was in college when it came out and my roommate showed it to a group of us!
i was only 7, i think. 10th grade’s doing good so far.
Legit my friend showed me this in 6th grade and I just thought about it today, I'm also in college. Time flies, huh?
I just wanna know how many couples have been through this?? I bet so many of us can relate. A classic!
A masterpiece!

But the fact is that they’re talking about a plumber and not ordering

How does Weird Al talk about a normal evening and it’s still catchy with rhymes… Weird Al is amazing
My guy really rhymed “Drive Thru” 8 times in a row and got away with it
It's a reference to how R. Kelly says closet in chapter 1 like 8 times in a row

One of the Saddest vids in recent memory for me DD... ;) :(
I think it's just how mundane the whole thing is. He's wasting his life watching something on tv he's not really interested in just because he doesn't know what else to do. Neither he nor his equally uninterested wife want to put forth the effort to make a decent meal so they are forced to go to the nearest cancer ridden fast food joint for a quick, cheap, artery clogging meal. They either argue or sit in silence the whole time they're in the car, then he has to turn down his music for her, furthering the notion that they have almost nothing in common but will probably return home to their meaningless, couch ridden lives together for the rest of their days.
I got his CD when I was a little kid, it was probably the best album I ever owned
This is an 11 minute song to complain about a drive thru forgetting his onions
They forgot his onions.

I don't even know how this guy managed to make a song about two people just going to a drive-through and with their problems included in this.
Good job buddy.
Its a parody of a dream theatre song thats 27 fucking min
@@bigspliffuh8310 I thought it was a parody of R. Kelly's song Trapped In The Closet (and all its chapters)
@@JayBowen it is, i dont know what these fools are talkin about
R Kelly did it way better, plus this is a parody of it
Imagine making a 27min song about cheating and hiding in a closet
9:44 most well know sound
True
9:44
I am a middle-aged woman from France and had never heard this parody. I'm stuck at home with Covid and after laughing so hard while listening to it I feel like I'm healed. That line : "Did I mention the drive-thru?" just killed me.
you have good taste, madame!
My favorite was "Now we're at the pay window, or whatever you call it", it's like the narrator has a brainfart mid-song
YES gets me everytime
I will listen to it again :DDDDDDDDDD
is this even a parody?
The only part that didn’t age well is getting a chicken sandwich, burger, fries, and drink all for under $6
And yet the minimum wage in most states hasn't changed since Al wrote this song.
2 double cheeseburgers and a large fry (with the mcdonalds app) is $5.08 plus tax. You could both get water and it'll be under $6, or splitting a large soda will be about $7
True. That is very unrealistic now today. 💀💀
@@zoetercy9208bruh what?? Minimum wage in my state is like $15/hr 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@TheGreatSalsaMan Well, Sweetie, there are 50 states in the Union. Why don't you do a little research and see what the minimum wage is in other states. Kentucky, for example, is 7.25 an hour.
Is anyone else gonna point out how a chicken sandwich, cheeseburger with extra onions, medium curly fries and large root-beer was 5.82$ . That is a crazy deal
The mid-2000s were a crazy time.
He was a dollar short 9:22 there's your extra dollar
That's how much mcdonald's was 10 years ago lmao
@Madison Miller lol he got upgraded, remember

When youre forced to fill your tinder profile with personal information and random facts in order to attract a mate and put "can sing the entire 11 minute song trapped in the drive thru by weird al word for word" as one of your special talents. I'm not kidding. It's seriously in my tinder profile. 😂
I’m so glad I still have this entire song memorized
It feels more like a description than a song!
I wish I had this memorised but that since I don't I can watch it 100 times over. 😂
Same
To this day😂
I instantly believe you.
I know I'm probably overthinking it, but this song is actually really beautiful.
Lots of love songs focus on the heat and magic of starting a relationship, the rush of someone new. Some love songs for older folks focus on the big moments in a lifetime of love with someone. But this song is about what most of your life - especially with someone else - will mostly be composed of: the boring, little moments. Lightly arguing over leftovers, not having enough money to get food, it's all so accurate. It's like Russel's quote from Up: 'That all might sound boring, but I think the boring stuff is the stuff I remember the most.' Ellie's book was filled with the mundane moments with her husband, not the big trip they planned. Life is filled with seemingly dull stuff, like this song - that's why I love it. It's accurate, simple yet beautiful.
nigga this was not needed lmfao
Fuck yeah you're overthinking it
@@daviddorger6916 idk i think the comment was still nice
@@inks_msm sure it was. This song, is great in its stupidity and always makes me smile. Even when they forget the onions
it's a song about a drive thru, dude 💀
This is the anti Weird Al song
It’s so normal that it stands out
It feels so real it also doesn’t at the same time
It’s a work of art
this is more normal than the original 💀
So like anti-Albuquerque
@@deleteable. The original is so bizarre 🤣
I forget where he said this, but I believe Weird Al said the original Trapped In The Closet was so crazy that he wanted to make the parody as mundane as possible
Well it is about food which is pretty typical for Al
I was 15 watching this now showing my daughter this😂😂😂 still cracks me up
