    A lot of people dismiss Al someone who "just does parodies." They don't realize that he is a legitimate musician and artist with some serious vocal chops.

      Weird Al has more in common with Frank Zappa than most other artists I've known attempting that style. Felt vindicated to find out that Al's bassist moved to LA to audition for Zappa and stuck around for Al after Frank decided that having a band wasn't worth it.

    • @msoileau83

      Yes. And it's a parody of how some artists totally rework their songs in acoustic arrangements.

    • @Alex-cb1id
      @Alex-cb1id 6 років тому +3

      defender ... I also noticed it. A confirmation that the arrangements for a song are fundamental. Just think of Van Hallen's Jump songs sung in swing version by Paul Anka. It sounds like another song, but it's the same song. The arrangements are the dress of a song.

    I can go on, and have gone on, about the musical genius that is weird all and everyone that works with him to create, not only the parodies, but his original songs AND the countless videos he's recreated, shot for shot, PERFECTLY. unbelievable. the meta-upon-meta career of this man is so underappreciated because he's labeled as nothing more than a comedy act. he is the mirror that the music industry needs to keep itself in check. there isn't ANYBODY who could take his place and come at it with the love and dedication that al has for his work.

    Schwartz is unbelievable. Just think almost 40 years ago he ran into some weirdo with an accordion that asked him if he wouldn’t mind banging on his accordion case. Not only did he say yes but never in his wildest dreams did he think he would still be making a living with that guy.
