Fun fact: the back up dancers are the same guys from beat it
Wow!! I never knew that!! That makes it even funnier, if that's possible!! Thanks!!
I love good UA-cam communities, always learn new stuff about things I've enjoyed for years or in this case decades, thanks for contributing this tidbit, never knew that
Same as the Teen Spirit video and James Brown video. Weird Al gets all the original backup crew.
That’s how big Weird Al really is. Impressive
I believe all the sets are the same too
In case you wondered what Michael Jackson thought of Weird Al's parodies, he actually shares a writing credit on this song with Al - the only time Al collaborated with the original artist. Michael thoroughly enjoyed Al's parodies and the only song he declined permission when Al asked was "Black or White" because Michael thought the message of the original song was too important to make fun of.
The video is a beautiful shot-for-shot (in most of the exact same locations, wiith the same extras) as the original video. Al is so beloved that Michael of course would help him out with everything he could. A while back the alternate takes of Al singing in the bedroom were posted by Al himself, it's... odd.
Michael Jackson also agreed to give access to both the sets where he actually made the videos for Bad and Beat it, so that is another factor on why the videos are so similar :p
You still need to react smells like nirvana
It’s coming.
@@CliffBeatsOfficial thank you
Watch the video first! Smells like Teen Spirit.
Kurt Cobain loved Al's parody
"What is this song all about..."
*Eddie Van Halen* plays the riff in the original *Beat It*
"Your horoscope for today" is a hilarious original, and I suggest "Tacky" because it's shot in one long take with a bunch of comedians.
Vote up for this one
I agree, Tacky. That one is awesome.
Tacky is a great pick, but let's be honest, Cliff needs to go thorough his entire videography. The order doesn't matter much. (:
YES TO BOTH!
He did such a complete job love them. More please Smell like Nirvana.
Smells Like Nirvana is amazing. And, as you noted, you really should (re)watch Smells Like Teen Spirit beforehand.
Yay!!! I just asked him to check out Smells like Nirvana as well!! I'm hoping he does!!! Weird Al is pure genius!!!
Fun fact: The red jacket was actually loaned to Al for this video from Jackson directly.
If you really like the comedy of Weird Al, then you really need to see his movie, called "UHF".
Weird Al "Trapped In The Drive Thru" next, please?!
Nope the picture wasn't meant to fall, it just did, and they left it in final cut.
I think you should check out 'Foil'
Parody of Lorde "Royals" with a conspiracy theory twist 😂
Excellent suggestion!
"Don't download this song" - a song made available at the time by Yankovic ONLY via download, back when pirate music sites were heavily under fire.
It's not a parody, but an original work, and the lyrics are golden, lol.
The thing with Bad and Beat it is that, when Al went o Michael to ask permission to parody his songs, Michael was so enthused he let Al use his sets and set him up with Michael's choreographer. They remained friends afterwards, too. But, even so, Al does his best to parody as much as possible, where at all possible.
Another fun fact: While "Beat It" had its guitar solo by the late, great Eddie Van Halen, for "Eat It", the guitar solo was done by the underappreciated classic rocker Rick Derringer.
Also, as a hip-hop guy, you should do Trapped in the Drive-Thru. It's long, but you will be so glad you experienced it
YES
Wow, I never knew Derringer did that solo. You're right, he's one of the most underrated guitarists of all time.
oh... the guy that explodes is Derringer? I always thought weird Al wanted to have Eddie Van Halen in the parody too so I thought maybe that was him, but ok.
@@ingolf82 I'm not sure about the guy I'm the video, but Derringer played it on the recording
@@ingolf82 The guy in the video is Jim West, and he's Al's guitar player. But yes, the solo was recorded by Rick Derringer.
Living with a hernia is a fantastic parody.
I love these reactions! You should do "Foil", parodying "Royals". My kids and I love that one.
Weird Al''s stuff in the 80s and part of the 90s were classics. Perfect parody. I loved his take on Like a Virgin.
I needed to add that I have only seen one other of your videos. Just discovered like an hour ago. Anyway, I just found you are Chicago! Sister in Oak Park. I am a little over an hour west in the dung heap known as Rockford.
I preferred I Think I'm a Clone Now honestly.
Bedrock Anthem is one of his parodies that makes me forget the original lyrics! It's a must watch!
The bars for “Hardware Store” are FIRE. And it’s an original.
If Al is anything besides a genius he's also a perfectionist. He gets every detail spot on. From the lyrics and the cadence to the shooting location and sets. He doesn't release anything till he feels it's as perfect as he can get it. AL is the man!!!!!
✌️Peace✌️
If you dont mind reacting to a longer song, Albuquerque is great! It is an original and supposedly he made it to see if he could annoy his fans with this long song, but it is very well liked by most fans.
I believe he's as ready as he can be for that one. I definitely wouldn't do that one early into a Weird Al journey
When I saw Weird Al in concert, he got to "lost my train of thought" and restarted the song from the beginning. Everyone loved it.
I believe that Al never made a video to Albuquerque but there is a fan based animation video that is pretty good.
@@KngOfTheBlind Yo, that is legendary troll shit.
Came here to comment the same or like the person that did. :D Such an epic journey of a song :D
Vote for either Party in the CIA or Trapped in the Drivethrough next
I love how like, if you watch the original Beat It video, then watch this one, it's the exact same actors playing the exact same roles
The picture actually fell on its own. And of course they kept that take because it made it brilliant.
"Trapped in the Drive thru " is amazing, a must see!
You gotta do trapped in the drive thru. With your sense of humor you will love it
Fun fact: the ending frame of Eat It is a reference to the ending frame of Thriller
michael jackson loved his parodies many were done on the same sound stage
Growing up in the 80's was freaking awesome! :)
Lucky for you someone actually edited "Eat it" and "Beat It" music videos to play side by side. I picked up some small things in the video that I never noticed until I saw them side by side.
I continue suggestion the song, until you react to it: "I perform this way" a Parody of "Born this way".
And no. The picture was not meant to fall down, but Weird Al liked it and kept it in.
you should check out the side by side versions of Beat it and Eat It. It's uncanny how Al is dancing exactly how Michael Jackson is in the video
Fun fact: If you hadn't noticed in the original music video of Beat It, the pool table did not have any holes. Go ahead check...
Eat it! Went up the charts as Beat it! was (finally) headed down. This was Weird Al's breakthrough hit. Those of us who spent Sunday nights glued to the Radio for Dr. Demento knew who Al was and we couldn't have been happier for him. A nerd like us had made it!
You should do a react to Weird Al's "Like a Surgeon", which is truly hilarious as well.
It's amazing how he sings that fast and he how comes up with these rimes
The picture that falls is Dr. Demento
42 years ago this month he debuted on national TV on the Tom Snyder show
Bedrock Anthem is legendary, it’s a parody of Give It Away from the Red Hot Chili Peppers 😂
"Though it makes me feel that if I WAS around in the 80s, I would have been on a lot of drugs!"
As someone who grew up in the 80s, I can say that there is a reason for that stereotype on that decade.
“How does he make these so good ?” - my answer being Weird Al’s friggin’ hilarious. 🤣
Weird Al called up Michael Jackson and was able to use the same set with subtle differences.
I can't watch Weird Al in his channel because it wasn't made available in my country. I'm glad I can watch it here with you. Thanks, Cliff.
Rick Derringer on lead guitar 🎸 He is best known for singing and playing guitar on Rock and Roll Coochie Coo.
Weird Al is underrated. 😃
Scene for scene, YES watch them, he's not only got the cadence and emotion of the song, but scene for scene follows the original with hysterical, spastic accuracy. LOVE weird Al. He never makes the song/video worse or cheaper, just FUNNIER!
You've got to check out his song called "Albuquerque" . It is eleven minutes long, but you will get a laugh out of it.
Weird al Albuquerque the music video was fan made but al has dubbed it as official cause it was so good
MJ didn't want to give him permission to parody the video "Thriller" so he put it at the end of "Eat It".😂
Trapped in the Drive Thru is one of the funniest parodies from Weird Al.
You should react to the original and the parody in the same video.
Even if you heard the original already.
Like do "Like a virgin." Then do "Like a surgeon."
That way the audience can see the similarity as well.
Brother I’m 80s kid… I would gladly welcome you to a true Long Island friendship.. your vid’s make me smile… many many many thanks
You need to watch the side by side videos for Eat It and Fat - they really show just how close AL got on all the details.
The night Santa went crazy would be an amazing weird al song to react to
That is actually the same set that they used to make the "Beat It" video.
there is a side by side comparison video of Beat it and Eat it on youtube. It's hilarious and shows how much love Al and his crew put into these
2:40 The picture falling down was an accident, but Al said to keep it, as it WAS funny.
You should do the side by side with Beat it. It's almost exactly the same.
The night Santa went crazy you have to listen, it’s a real throw back song that most won’t get but it’s fucking hell-arious.
for the question for the picture falling it was said that it was not on the script but they choosed to keep it!
2:41 - That picture was not meant to fall off, but they kept the take because it was funny.
The picture on the wall, that falls, is of Doctor Demento
There’s a video that shows “Eat It” and “Beat It” side by side, so you can really see how the they compare, it’s amazing.
fact did you know the picture behind at was not supposed to fall of but the people who helped al make this amazing video thought it worked so they kept it in the final cut
This song appeared on the album "In 3-D" which was reference to the original, last song on the album, "Nature Trail to Hell (In 3-D)" which was a B-movie slasher horror parody. This tied into the "Thriller" video/short film, so the concluding shot with the theatrical contacts was a direct reference to that.
“Living with a Hernia” is another one the original artist helped out in the creation of the music video.
Check out James Brown’s “Living in America” before.
Yep. Weird Al as James Brown.
Good to see you back 👍
Living with a Hernia parody of Living in America, from Rocky 4. He used some of James Brown’s band and the same stage.
One of my favorites that all most no one reacts to is “Craigslist”, one of Al’s newer style parodies. This one is done in the style of The Doors. Al channels Jim Morrison, and the late, great Ray Manzarek, the keyboard player for the Doors who gave them their signature sound, played keyboards on Craigslist.
almost* no one. 🤦🏻♀️
Hey it's my second favorite song from him that's crazy
If you react to "I lost on Jeopardy!" by Weird Al...which I highly recommend...not only do you need to watch the original video, "Our Love's in Jeopardy" by Greg Kihn Band, but you should also definitely watch the opening sequence for the Art Flemming version of the game show "Jeopardy!" You can find it pretty easy on UA-cam.
Yes, the Weird Al video predates the Alex Trebek version of Jeopardy!
Best Regards!
One story I read about is that Al's song helped them decide to bring the show back on the air.
Also Michael Jackson love weird Al so he let him use the sets for Beat It and Bad for Eat It and Fat.
I still gotta recommend the Stuck in the Drive Through song, it's animated at 10 minutes long but it's so funny.
I think I remember hearing Al say that the picture was not supposed to fall off, but he liked that it did that lol.
If you want something of his original works, try "one more minute". One of Al's personal favorites he did
Check out Weird Al's "Like A Surgeon" after watching Madonna's "Like A Virgin" music video. He even mimics her dance moves. Hilarious!
Gotta listen to I think I'm a clone now. Legendary lyrics 😂
I like how you mentioned the picture falling, it actually wasn't supposed to happen but in final editing they decided to keep it in because it was funny
Thanks for everything you do. Would love to see bedrock anthem.
“Dare to be Stupid” would be an excellent example of Weird Al’s pastiche work. DEVO themselves said it was one of the most DEVO songs they never wrote
“Foil”! “Trapped In The Drive-Thru”! just a couple of suggestions for your next Weird Al consumption! Oh, and “Stop Forwarding That Crap To Me” is a great pastiche parody of Jim Steinman/Meat Loaf.
You should watch Weird Al's song "Bob." It isn't a parody of an actual song, but of an artist's style in which Weird Al wrote the song himself with lyrics consisting entirely of palindromes in the style of Bob Dylan and then made the video a parody of a video Dylan actually did for a different song.
Love it! One of my favorites is Living With a Hernia.
You need to review UHF the only feature length movie starring Weird Al. It's like a mindtrip through Al's brain and a cult classic.
Weird Al and Michael Jackson are the Kings of all music.🎼
An underrated one to check out is I love Rocky Road- a parody of a Joan Jett classic I love Rock n Roll
I always wished he'd have done a Thriller parody. It's got so much potential. I am still suggesting One More Minute, and Weasel Stomping Day.
Next please: 'Living with a Hernia'
Separate by time frame- I’d have to say “Word Crimes”, “Foil”, and “Handy” are the first that spring to mind if I only think about Weird Al’s catalogue of newISH music. The last two never stop making me laugh no matter how many times I watch the videos. I swear I blow up his channel.
You need to do side by sides of M.J's original songs & Weird Al's parodies of this one & "Fat". It's amazing! Micheal let Al use the sets from both videos!!
It has been stated that the picture was NOT meant to fall off the wall.
I still want to see you watch Bob and see what your reaction to that song is. Weird Al is a genius, and once that song's gimmick hits you... WOW!
Song is amazing by using palindrome cue cards
check out "living with a hernia" - a parody of James Brown's Living in America.
The photo was not meant to fall down, and I am surprised they didn't reshoot the scene. It was a picture of Doctor Demento. A radio host who had a popular show playing comedy and parody music. Weird Al started sending him his own parodies and became popular with that crowd. You can see the way Al stands up that he intended for the picture to be in the scene.
Doctor Demento appears in a later video, Headline News. A parody of Crash Test Dummies Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm. Again you need to watch the original before watching Yankovic's version.
Eat It reached #12 on the Bilboard Hot 100, and put Yankovic on the map.
Fun Fact: that guitar solo is from Eddie Van Halen
You hit all the right notes, dude. From encouraging folks to go to the original artist's page to advocating watching the original video first, (I could kiss you for that) your videos are a real joy. Thank you!
I’m so old I have the 45 vinyl of this.
I love these weird al reactions. I always thought of weird al as a low bar parody guy years ago but he is genius for the lyrics and how well he tweeks songs and yet makes them close to the original.
No the picture wasn't supposed to fall. It was just a happy accident
To see weird Al's roots watch "Another one rides the bus". I think it was his 1st music video. He's come a long way.
Ps. There's a bad versus fat side to side comparison that's pretty cool.
the picture falling off the wall as he got out of bed was not planned, but they left it in there.
I think the ending points to a Thriller parody that never got made. I wonder what it would have been called? probably "Filler" right? Since Al loves food-related parodies.
That is Van Halen on the guitar that explodes right? I think Weird Al wanted Eddie van Halen in this video as well. Eddie Van Halen did beat it so...
Edit: apparently, it's not who I thought it was. as someone in the comments here pointed out, it's a guy called Rick Derringer. I just thought it was Eddie because Al wanted him in the parody too I heard.
no, that picture was not supposed to fall off that wall hahaha
Great reaction. Hope to see more Weird Al - looks like you're enjoying his stuff!
