I can't believe I've been living without this gem for so long! It's too bad Weezer denied it, but at least they let him eventually use "Beverly Hills" in a polka
i mean considering that this all probably went down during rivers cuomo's huge mid-90's depression, i can kinda see why weezer would politely decline the offer lmfao
@@anonymousYTviewer69it doesn't work that way, fair use policies do not help a major label artist release a parody song of another major label artist without explicit permission. They can and will legally stop him. Completely different from a random UA-cam video parody
The world lost out on a great line in a polka medley. At least Weezer has finally seen the light. Kudos to Al for asking Weezer again despite being rejected once already.
I'm not a weezer fan, but i feel like i need to say something; weezer was new to mainstream, "Buddy Holly" was their second single ever and was burning up the charts. The reason they turned him down was for the same reason Eminem turned down al's request for a music video for his "Lose Yourself" parody when it was up for an oscar and five grammys. They just wanted it to be taking seriously and were scared it would hurt the songs credibility. Still, there is no truely good reason to say no to Al.
Not sure if you'll ever see this, but just in case anyone ever reads what you said... the opposite has proven to be true. In fact, Chamillionaire credits Weird Al for his grammy win because White & Nerdy became so popular and that made Ridin' Dirty more popular. The same is true for Amish Paradise, which introduced tons of non-rap fans to Gangsta's Paraside.
@@billybatson7852 Funnily enough, some Weird Al parodies are actually more famous nowadays than what they were parodying (like if it wasn't for "I Lost on Jeopardy" I'd probably have no idea "Jeopardy" by the Greg Kihn Band existed)
@@IsmailofeRegime We're also taking about 18 seconds of your song being used in a mix, it's not even a full parody, just performed as a polka. I don't think there should be the same level of concern.
@@billybatson7852 It may help financially, but it doesn't help them be taken seriously. Mention Gangsta's Paradise and within seconds, someone starts singing the Weird Al version.
I've only been to one of your concerts, it was the most memorable show I've ever seen. I was in the back until everyone left before your Yoda Encore, and I ran up front. AWESOME SHOW! Never thought I'd scream "Yoda!" so loud in my life.
Oh! I remember the Alternative polka. I had Bad Hair Day as a kid and many of those songs were my introduction to those bands and those songs, I didn't even realize Weezer was around then, I would have discovered them way earlier had they let Weird Al keep it in. Though in true Al style, being the coolest guy ever kept their relationship alive and he starred as Rivers Cuomo in their video for Africa.
The reason why rivers didn't want Weird Al to do it was because he thought all of his success was because of the Buddy Holly music video, and he didn't want to be thought of as a gimmick and Weezer to be thought of as some band that would fade away. So that's why he wrote Pinkerton, probably not because of Weird Al (maybe a little bit of it,) it was because he thought everyone saw him as a gimmick.
@@stonecrestmovies This video is doing the rounds rn, lol. I don't think your reason for why Pinkerton happened is exactly right, good comment otherwise though
You are the best musical father I have ever had! Thanks for sharing another funny piece. (I like to think of myself as a son with three fathers: You, Ray Kurzweil, and (my natural dad) Tony.)
@loldudex2 Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I saw him in concert during his Poodle Hat tour. That night ranks in my top 5 favorite concerts I've ever been to.
This is driving me crazy. I am certain that I've been singing along to this in one of the medleys for years. I KNOW that I've heard this before, but it ended differently - instead of "I...don't...care...bout...that" being so enunciated and spaced out, it was quicker. More like "I...don't...carebout...that". I'm going crazy with this. I know I've heard it before - and WAY before this was ever posted.
Same. I also remember it exactly as you describe, though this is the first I’m seeing it was cut. So I couldn’t have possibly heard the version I seem to remember...
I also remember it as described and I really can't think of where or who else could have done it. To know that someone 12 years ago also had this thought is... Kinda wild
Another message to people saying Weezer "sucks" for not letting Weird Al parody them: You do realize Beverly Hills is by Weezer, right? The same Beverly Hills that appeared in 2006's Polkarama! from Straight Outta Lynwood? Rivers was just in a phase; sometimes bands don't want more exposure/don't want their songs covered in a polka style.
This is when artists and entities had sticks firmly up their asses that needed to be removed. Bad hair day would been different if every they said Yes. Buddy Holly in the polka, I'll repair for you - the company who made Friends said no (Syndicated inc.), Green eggs and Ham - Book publisher said no (Cavity search), that "thing" with Coolio.
@xxxlxt Weezer was a different band in 96. I can imagine they didn't want this to damage their sales. But when they got more and more succesful they started lightening up. This is why Beverly Hills was a part of Polkarama!. As a big fan of both Weezer and Weird Al I love it whenever I get a chance to hear them both.
we like that, too bad it didn't get to stay in. My fiancé loves the alternative polka, we listened to it like 7 times in a row one time we were traveling. it's still good even without it but I still wish it could have been.
@mizpriz I was recently at al's concert where he unveiled his new polka medley. It contained: •so what by p!nk •poker face by lady gaga •Baby by Justin bieber •I kissed a girl by Katy perry •fireflies by owl city •right round by Florida (I think he's the artist) •Womanizer by Brittany spears •tik tok by ke$ha •blame it on the alcohol (don't know actual name) •stuck on replay (dont know actual name)
this was just before pinkerton, and rivers was confused because it wasn't a parody later on Beverly Hills got into a polka medley, so everything was alright in the end
I'm looking forward to Weird Al's new song, Sax On Fire... "Yeeaaahhhh, your sax is on fiyeeaarrr! (No, seriously! Dude! Your sax is on fire! Get the extinguisher!)" LOL
Wait this wasn't in the mix the whole time? Did it get added to some other polka? Or am I mandella effected right now? Cuz I definitely feel like this was always in one of the polkas.
