I discovered Weird Al when he put out 8 videos in 8 days for his album, Mandatory Fun, in 2014. I was devastated from a series for horrible tragedies in my life. Nothing could pull me out of my grief and loss, until I heard his funny and amazing songs. I've now been to 4 of his concerts and listen to his 14 albums all the time. Because so much humor is mean spirited and vulgar, Al was a breath of fresh air that made me laugh and feel positive.
YES!! That's a great testament to the power of music and connection with others and within oneself. Thank you for taking the time to watch watch this episode of MCP connects, we are sending lots of love and positive vibes your way!
That’s awesome. I’ve had music touch me like that. I was going through a tough time, too focused on depression. I listened to Christian singer, late Keith Green, and I snapped out of it. He’s one of a small handful of Christian artist I will listen to.
kelly russell Keith is one of few that feels truly genuine... We’ve worked with Switchfoot a few times and they’ve completely won us over. Authentic guys who live their love and make fantastic music...
I saw an interview where Al said that his parents died in a terrible accident. He was on tour at the time. Being an only child, he was super close to his parents. He decided to continue his tour even though he was completely devistated, because his fans told him how much his music helped them, he hoped his music could help him as well.
I remember camping out in a tent in my friends yard in 1983 and we had a radio and came across Dr. Demento over one of the stations. The stars were plentiful that night and I love Rocky Road came on and it’s such a great memory. I miss Doctor D.
I discovered Weird Al when Eat It came out on MTV. I hated all music till I heard him and have been hooked ever since. Now I appreciate all music (except county).
So true! Have you heard his polka version of Hamilton? It just came out. Also, there are a couple of things in the works, so hopefully he will have something out soon. :)

Its free to kids and hospitals, visit us online at www.melodiccaring.org
Since Dr Demento in the mid-70s, I’ve adored his music and he and his band’s ENORMOUS talent. And, seeing Mr Yankovic on various shows, the greatest thing about him is his kindness and decency as a human being. The world is better because he is in it. My husband and I were lucky enough to see him live a couple years ago, and my husband - honestly not much of a fan and a hard core classic rock and roll fan - agrees it was truly one of the best concerts he’s seen live. Thank you for this interview - I’m such a fan-girl, at 61 years old! : ) He truly brings such joy, and his band is so tight and together!
Al, I'm a 68 year old combat vet from 13.5 years of true combat and your music brings me back from the brink sometimes. It is wonderful to hear the parodies and experience them. I know where it comes from, different aspects of life which most people never see.
First saw Weird Al when my Dad brought a VHS home from the Video store. UHF. Funniest and most ahead of it's time movie ever. Absolute loved it then and now. Conan the Librarian " do you not know the Dewey decimal system " . Listened to all his tracks since, which are really well made . Just listened to smells like nirvana again. Al by the way is looking really well and healthy in this vid.
I frigging love that guy. He never fails to make me laugh or smile. And think... oddly enough some of his comedy is socially relevant. And the sheer brilliance, talent, and dedication to his art is just amazing.
I think Weird Al Yankovic has to be another one of my favorite people to listen to in this whole pandemic. He's just so positive and i love that a lot and it makes everyone happy, so it's good to still see him this enthusiastic and goofy as always 😊💕
Dr. Demento introduced me to Wierd Al...we were both young teenagers, I looked so forward to the weekly Dr. D Show!! Have been a fan ever since! Don't forget Childrens Hospital in Los Angeles!!
That's so awesome that you were a fan of Dr. D! And thank you for recommending CHLA, we have artists give shout-out's to various hospitals and kids in hospitals around the world. Its very easy for kids and hospitals to signup: www.melodiccaring.org
I met you Al, You were so kind to Me and my family. I was glad to be able to make you laugh that evening. I wanted to make you laugh, since you have made me laugh so much. You're still the GOAT. The very musically talented G.O.A.T.
Did Weird Al just say that this pandemic has made him Highly Inactive? Also, I'm not surprised that Weird Al is still around. His band is fantastic, have a great sound... and his lyrics are so much more intelligent than those of the songs he parodies. Even when he's just joking around, I mean, you don't find super obvious rhymes. And his originals on his Mandatory Fun album were really smart as well. I just love Weird Al's music and his fun personality. It's thoughtfully done... you can tell he puts a lot of work and effort into what he does. He is absolutely the master of parody and I look forward to what's coming next :D
He makes music fun, enjoyed him from the beginning of his career, glad he continues to make music, keep it going strong Mr weird Yankovic,he needs to be in the Rock an roll hall of fame.
Thank you, for such an interesting video...especially, these days...of Covid 19. Nice to learn that "Weird Al" is still around in Good Spirits...he's such an Up-Lifting individual, and Great Human Being. Happy New Year to All...and by all means, Be Safe Out There. ⚘
I'm an italian fan of Weird Al , i admit that his music help me with my depression and negativity , i would like to have a chance to meet him only to say thank you , this man diserves eternal youngness .
Yes, he definitely combats boredom and the depression that can creep in with it. People all over are getting a belly laugh, watching Weird Al videos during quarantine.
My dad has been listening to Weird Al since he was a teenager in the 80's... and because of my dad I grew up listening to him and now I pass the experience on to my kids. My oldest son loves him! Weird Al Yankovic is definitely a part of our family. 🥰
You took the words right out of my mouth. Down to earth as they come. My son’s first concert was Weird Al. They are both still fans, as am I, we still go to every show. That was my gift to my son and daughter in law for their anniversary. Weird Al tickets. 6th row.
I was lucky enough to see him in person once. His energy is amazing. He just kept going like a freaking marathon runner for, like, 2 1/2 hours, barely slipping out for costume changes. And I have never laughed so hard in my life. Go, Al !!
Al, you are simply a musical genius, sort of like Frank Zappa, but in a comedic sense. Love your parodies, they bring much joy to me to lighten my load. I am a 13.5 year combat vet and life gets hard some days, but I see one of your parodies and all in my mind goes to the wind with just enjoying such genius.
I learned about Weird Al from my dad. Back then Weird Al was all on the radio, and everyone listened to his funny songs. He really brought joy to everyone! Weird Al is just a great person and he deserves the best!
Weird Al has been bringing joy to my life since I was a tiny kid, dancing to the food album with my twin and my aunt. A constant stream of silliness and goodness.
I came across Weird Al ages ago. I always listened to heavy metal, well some pop, rap, and r&b. Weird Al is the first one that had such a variety. Here I am now and he's still one of my absolute favs. As I have a variety of mental illnesses, his music truly helped. I would LOVE to meet him. He's amazing. Oh, and this is the first time I have ever clicked an ad. I avoid them like the plague. But... It's Weird Al. How could I not?
Can you imagine ...Weird Al Yankovic ...in quarantine...the perfect place to be for this Covid 19 would be to hang out with this guy....when i was growing up and listening to the radio ..all i used to do is make up different and funny words to songs myself...
I got to meet Al back in the early 2000s when he came to boise idaho. The venue tried to keep guests back from him prior to entering the building for his show. He walked right up to is and just kicked it with us for a few with some photos and chit chat. Told the venue guys to chill these were his fans. It was great. He is great.
Loved him sinceI first heard him! First concert for my granddaughters! His creativity is joyful ! Will keep listening and attending concerts as long as I have the power to do so🙏❤️💜🙌
I grew up with Weird Al as a Boy Scout now Eagle Scout and many years later I'm glad to still see him still making music. I wish I could have the opportunity to meet Weird Al.
People such as Al and the cartoonist made such impact through their creativity and joy.. The cartoonist mentioned opened the world of classical music for me as a child. The cartoons of that era were backed musically with famous classical music pieces. I ran around the house humming and singing parts from operas and symphonies. Of course they were from the view of a rooster and his hens or a cat chasing a canary whom thought he saw a putti tat. It is so sad these creative geniuses would feel their works of art had no value. Al's parodies are so creative musically of course but also in their expression and literal reworking of the words. Al has brought pure joy and laughter in times of sorrow, sometimes restoring love of life. It seems to me he is ioverlooked in one area, since it is so obvious, he has an excellent voice and range with the ability to sing just about anything. All this is true, but most of all that has touched my heart and life, is his basic decency. He is the nicest person, as shown throughout his life by his generosity to those in need. He is positive and encouraging and enables us to laugh with him but not at anyone. Somehow you know he could but would not do so.Thank you Al. Cannot wait for your next song, but thanks also for the memories.
My Dad was the one who turned me on to Al when I was a Kid (almost 50 Now) and before he Passed away February 27th 2018 he always said WHITE AND NERDY was his Theme Song! :)
My first album was Wierd al in 3D that my cool uncle won a radio call in. He gave it to me and my friends and we listened a lot. In 1990 I left home and my music tastes expanded exponentially. Since 2015 Wierd Al is back in my life, and has helped out a lot. Aloha, Tom
Awwwww...I just LOVE that his mustache is back! Is that a weird thing for me to notice FIRST?!?!? I had his first cassette "In 3-D" and have been a fan since the age of 6yrs old! I'm 43yrs old now!! I WOULD ALMOST GIVE A LIMB to see "Weird" Al Yankovic LIVE! I NEED to hear this man sing "One More Minute" live! I love you sir!!
I couldn't love this man more if I got to choose to be a guest and go eat with any family in Hollywood it will be his hands down I mean it would be the most comfortable and the easiest there would be no drama.. only fun
If it wasn't for weird al yankovic my childhood wouldn't be as fun thank you so much weird al thank u so much u made my child hood awesome thanks to the movie uhf as well
I've been called Weird Al (my name is Albert) for many years, but I consider it a complement. I've been enjoying Weird Al's works since he started. AMAZING parodies. Love them all.

So glad you did!

I discovered Weird Al back in the dr. Demento days. What a talented goofball. I love this guy. What an underrated, awesome entertainer.
Greg Johnson Hey, so did I! Good to know there’s more of us around. Weird Al made pop music tolerable for me.
I found out about him like 6 months ago lol
I remember camping out in a tent in my friends yard in 1983 and we had a radio and came across Dr. Demento over one of the stations. The stars were plentiful that night and I love Rocky Road came on and it’s such a great memory. I miss Doctor D.
I discovered Weird Al when Eat It came out on MTV. I hated all music till I heard him and have been hooked ever since. Now I appreciate all music (except county).
I'm bummed out because he's not active musically at the moment. The world needs new music from Al more than ever right now
So true! Have you heard his polka version of Hamilton? It just came out. Also, there are a couple of things in the works, so hopefully he will have something out soon. :)

Weird Al is so awesome, he's a mastermind to take all music and make it fun.
Ever since Doctor Dementos Delights...in the 1970s, whelp!
You look like David Duchovny when you smile and laugh!
I got to meet Weird Al while he was filming UHF at a grocery store (Bud’s) in Tulsa, OK...years ago!
Nice!!
Dude doesn’t have to worry about running out of toilet paper! He can use the millions of dollars he has as an alternate source if he runs out!

I've been called Weird Al (my name is Albert) for many years, but I consider it a complement. I've been enjoying Weird Al's works since he started. AMAZING parodies. Love them all.
Alan Sherman, YES! Thats a name I remember. Hello mutha, hello faddah. camp Grenada. gold!
Big fan of Weird Al
He made growing up in the 80s and 90s fun
Yesss!!
Al’s career has lasted longer then many of the artists that he has parodied
I remember Dr. Dementia!
